Finding
Exact entity and licence independently confirmed in CIMA's 31 December 2025 Securities Investment Business Licensees list. Current public search attempted with TF Global Markets, but reCAPTCHA prevented a result. This is dated official licence evidence, not current-status verification as of 12 October 2026.
Scope
The /ky demo and legal pages identify the Cayman entity and 1612531. Australian company is website/technology operator, not the Cayman trading counterparty. Do not transplant MT4/MT5 availability from a different country site.

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.
