Traders Trust previously operated a genuinely multi-jurisdictional structure including a direct CySEC (Cyprus) licence, but CySEC withdrew that authorisation in June 2026 at the firm's own request -- it's no longer EU-regulated as a result (see the regulatory note below). The Seychelles FSA and Bermuda licences remain. Multi-asset offering across forex, indices, stocks, crypto, and metals; notably doesn't offer MetaTrader 5, running MT4 and cTrader instead.

Beyond the headline spread and minimum deposit above. Where our research hasn't independently confirmed a specific detail, we say so rather than guess -- verify directly with the broker before relying on it.
| Account types | Sources conflict: Classic/Pro/VIP per one source, Standard/ECN/Demo per another, plus Social Copy Trader and MAM accounts and Islamic/zero-spread options mentioned elsewhere. Given the CySEC withdrawal disclosed above, confirm current availability directly. |
|---|---|
| Execution model | Described loosely as ECN-style/STP across sources, without a definitive, independently verified breakdown. |
| Withdrawals & deposits | One undated review cites broker-side fees up to around 4.5% on Neteller, 3.35% on cards, and 0.5% on FasaPay/OKPAY, with wire and WebMoney described as fee-free from the broker (bank fees may still apply). Minimum deposit is cited as either $50 or $100 depending on the source. |
| Overnight financing (swap) | Not independently detailed; standard industry mechanics are presumed. |
| Currency conversion cost | Not found as a Traders Trust-specific figure. |
| Inactivity fee | One review cites $25; not corroborated elsewhere. |
| Customer service | Trustpilot shows a notably strong 4.5/5 from 548 reviews, with the company reportedly responding to nearly all negative reviews within about a week. One March 2026 complaint describes an account discrepancy, and one unverified report describes spreads widening sharply during a profitable period, which support attributed to volatility. |
| Mobile experience | No App Store or Google Play rating was found. |
| Educational offering | The broker's own materials reference videos, calculators, market insights, copy trading and historical data; no independent review of quality or a confirmed webinar program was found. |
