Execution and demo realism

Contractual capacity and execution arrangement are separate. ECN/STP labels do not establish agency. Simulated fills do not verify live execution quality.

Scope

Dukascopy Bank SA, Switzerland; MT4 and MT5; SWFX arrangement only, without JForex demo claims.

Testing status

Not tested

Contractual role

Finding

Requires Verification

Evidence status

Requires Verification

Notes and remaining checks

The bank FAQ says Dukascopy is counterparty to all trades, but the current Marketplace Trading Agreement body was unavailable; role remains unresolved at the contractual-evidence level.

Execution arrangement

Finding

SWFX ECN with bank as counterparty

Evidence status

Broker-reported

Notes and remaining checks

Bank FAQ describes SWFX access for MetaTrader and the bank's counterparty/hedging model. This does not make an ECN label proof of agency.

Reading the evidence

Documentation research, not account or execution testing. Research regions do not establish residence eligibility. Requires Verification is an evidence gap, not proof of unavailability. Source conflicts and product/entity qualifications must remain attached to claims. Demo results do not establish live trading performance.
