fptrading is a forex & CFD broker based in South Africa, operating for Within 1 year. On Trust Broker Hub it holds a Trust Score of 3.4 out of 10, which we rate as Poor — below the 4.9/10 average for brokers that hold a verified licence. High-risk profile — proceed only with caution and small amounts.
fptrading's licence comes from an offshore jurisdiction (FSCA). Offshore regulation is far lighter than tier-1 oversight from bodies like the FCA (UK) or ASIC (Australia): there is usually no compensation scheme, and recovering funds can be difficult if the broker runs into trouble. Treat it with extra caution and verify the licence on the regulator's own register.
fptrading provides access to Forex, commodities, metals, stocks. Its detailed trading conditions — minimum deposit, spreads and maximum leverage — are not publicly disclosed, which lowers transparency. No complaints are currently on record. Overall, fptrading carries a high-risk profile. Only consider it with money you can afford to lose, and verify everything independently first.

Frequently asked
Is fptrading a safe broker?
fptrading scores 3.4 / 10 on our Trust Score, below the 4.9 average for brokers that hold a verified licence. It is only offshore-regulated, which means weaker protection. It has no complaints on record with us. Trade only with funds you can afford to lose.
What is the fptrading MT5 server name?
fptrading is listed in the MetaQuotes MetaTrader 5 directory under the server name "FPTrading". In MetaTrader 5, add an account and search for that name, then choose the exact server shown in your account details from the broker. Read our methodology.
Is fptrading regulated?
MetaQuotes lists FP Trading LLC with the status "Non-regulated". That is the broker's own declaration to MetaQuotes, not a licence we have checked. We have verified a licence with FSCA.
How is the fptrading trust score calculated?
The score weighs five factors: regulation tier, transparency of disclosures, operating footprint, user sentiment, and complaint history. Each is scored out of 10 and combined into the overall figure shown at the top.
What does "offshore regulated" mean?
It means the broker's licence comes from a jurisdiction with lighter requirements than tier-1 regulators like the FCA or ASIC. There's usually no compensation scheme, so recovering funds can be difficult if the broker fails.
Can I withdraw funds easily from fptrading?
fptrading doesn't publish detailed withdrawal terms, so we can't verify processing times or fees. Test with a small amount first and document every transaction.
