TradeFxP runs two restricted country lists on the same website. Its AML policy refuses clients from 37 countries. Its deposit page refuses only six.
Why this matters
You could fund an account from a country the deposit page allows and the AML policy bans. TradeFxP can then treat you as ineligible, after your money has landed.
Exhibit 1Every flagged clause gets its own number so you can point at this one. The number does not change, so a link to it keeps working.CriticalHow much this clause can cost you, in our reading. Critical can take your money or your profit. Warning can delay or limit it. Notice is simply worth knowing before you sign.Rarely seenHow ordinary this wording looks next to the contracts we read. This is our reading of the clause, not a count of other brokers.37The figure this clause puts a number on, taken from the broker's own words.
TradeFxP does not accept clients from the U.S., Afghanistan, Belarus, Burma, Burundi, Central African Republic, China, Congo, Cuba, Egypt, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Iraq, Iran, Indonesia, Lebanon, Lesotho, Libya, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Moldova, Nicaragua, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Vanuatu, Venezuela, Yemen, and Zimbabwe.
Buried at section 47 of 49 in the AML Policy, 96% of the way through.We counted the numbered sections in the AML Policy. This clause sits in section 47 of 49, about 96% of the way through. A fee written on the first page and the same fee written near the end are not the same disclosure.
What it costsThe same clause worked out on a round number, so you can see it in money or in days. It is an example, not a quotation.The deposit page names six excluded countries. The AML policy names 37. That leaves 31 countries told two different things by one company.
Our readingOur own comment on the clause, not the broker's words. Anything we quote is marked as a quotation.Brokers normally keep one restricted country list. TradeFxP serves two conflicting lists at once, so which one applies to you depends on which page you opened.
- Worse together with Exhibit 4Read these two clauses together. Each one costs more because the other exists.You cannot resolve which list binds you, because the pages carrying the two lists also name two different companies.
