The live broker

Live accounts are held with AT Global Markets SA (Pty) Ltd, trading as ATFX SA, an FSCA-licensed financial services provider (FSP 44816) and licensed OTC Derivatives Provider. You can verify this on the FSCA register.

The wider ATFX group

Other ATFX group entities hold separate international licences, including FCA (760555), ASIC (AFSL 418036) and CySEC (285/15). Those licences belong to those entities; your live account is governed by your agreement with ATFX SA.

Simulation, clearly labelled

Performance Lab is simulated throughout. Evaluations and simulated funded accounts never place real capital in the market.

Where live funds are held

Your live account and deposits sit with ATFX SA. Smart Online Trader never receives, holds or manages client funds.

How we are compensated

Smart Online Trader is a Master Introducing Broker Partner of ATFX SA and receives compensation based on the trading activity of referred clients.

Education, not advice

We provide education, structure and market context. We do not provide trading signals or personal financial advice, and all trading decisions remain yours.

Provider terms and conditions apply. Simulated evaluations and live-broker accounts are separate services with separate registration, eligibility and account requirements. Live trading involves real funds and the risk of loss.
