Tier classification follows the same scale as the retail register: tier-2 means real supervision and client-money segregation, without an investor compensation scheme — never misread it as tier-1 protection.

Perimeter and coverage
| Asset classes | Venues | Connectivity | Clients accepted | Explicitly refused |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FX spot, CFDs | FIX API, third-party platform/bridge integrations (MT4/MT5 per own partners section) | Banks, Brokers, Hedge funds, Professional clients / Eligible Counterparties | Retail clients (Professional or Eligible Counterparty only per own legal text), Jurisdictions under comprehensive sanctions or FATF high-risk 'Call for Action' lists (own policy) |
A firm that publishes its own negative space — who it refuses, where it is not licensed — is materially easier to assess than one that doesn't. The refusal list is treated here as disclosure, not as a defect.
