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 proprietary web/mobile Forex demo, with live OTC FX capacity from tastyfx LLC's August 2026 contract. Excludes IG UK CFD and tastytrade securities services.

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.

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: No slippage, interest or live margin closeout
Evidence status: Documented
Notes and remaining checks: The proprietary web/mobile help page excludes slippage, interest and out-of-hours price moves. Demo orders are not rejected for size/price, and positions are not closed for insufficient margin/running-loss coverage; insufficient opening funds can still cause rejection. No hands-on testing.

Requires Verification: residence/state eligibility and final registration acceptance.

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.
