Regulatory backdrop
Singapore authorities have taken action against unregulated overseas online trading platforms offering leveraged forex and other products to Singapore customers. That makes due diligence especially important for CFD and forex prop firm offers.
Futures vs CFD access
A futures evaluation and an offshore CFD challenge can carry very different regulatory and counterparty risks. Read the firm disclosure and avoid assuming that a global checkout page means local permission.
Trader checklist
Check the MAS Financial Institutions Directory for regulated firms, read risk disclosures, confirm payout rails and avoid offers that promise low risk or guaranteed income.
