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
- US MT4 demo. Live contractual capacity is entity-level evidence reviewed 14 October; MT4 simulation disclosure reviewed 18 October.
- Testing status
- Not tested
- Contractual role
- Finding
- Principal
- Evidence status
- Documented
- Notes and remaining checks
- Section 04(4) explicitly states that tastyfx enters transactions as principal, not agent. The FDM disclosure identifies it as the US customer's dealer and counterparty.
- Supporting sources
- Research checked
- 2026-10-14
- Execution arrangement
- Finding
- OTC dealer quotes; liquidity from IG Markets and JP Morgan
- Evidence status
- Broker-reported
- Notes and remaining checks
- The contract describes tastyfx bid/ask quotes. Its September 2026 FDM disclosure names IG Markets Limited and JP Morgan as liquidity providers, with JP Morgan also a prime broker. This does not turn the customer contract into agency or establish one-for-one trade routing.

- Demo realism
- Finding
- Simulation omits slippage and several live risk controls
- Evidence status
- Documented
- Notes and remaining checks
- The MT4 page excludes slippage, interest/dividend and out-of-hours adjustments. Orders may fail for insufficient opening funds, but are not rejected for size/price; positions are not forced closed for insufficient margin or running losses. No hands-on testing.

Demo markets
- Scope
- US tastyfx MT4 Forex demo; excludes IG non-US CFD services, generic IG server inventories and separate tastytrade products.
- Testing status
- Not tested
- Forex CFDs
- Evidence status
- Not offered
- Notes and remaining checks
- tastyfx describes its US markets as margin spot Forex, and its MT4 demo explicitly offers currency-pair practice. This is an OTC Forex demo, not a Forex-CFD offering; demo availability is unchanged.

- Cryptocurrency CFDs
- Evidence status
- Not offered
- Notes and remaining checks
- The broker explicitly excludes cryptocurrency business in its US Forex-versus-crypto article. The marketed MT4 demo covers Forex; references to IG or generic crypto commentary do not establish a tastyfx crypto-CFD service.

Entity and regulatory research
Requires Verification. No regulatory assessment has been completed for this record; this does not establish that the firm is unregulated.
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.
