Safety and regulation
InterTrader is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom. This means the company adheres to strict guidelines for ensuring the safety of client funds and providing a secure trading environment. InterTrader maintains client funds in segregated accounts, ensuring that traders' money is kept separate from the company’s operational funds. This provides an added layer of protection. Additionally, client accounts are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), which covers up to £85,000 per eligible client in the unlikely event of insolvency.
- FCA
Between 70% and 85% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with most regulated providers — the exact figure for any specific broker is published on that broker's own website. Consider whether you understand how these instruments work and whether you can afford the high risk of losing your money.
