You can easily verify the regulatory status of Admiral Markets on the regulators’ website using the company name and license number:
- Admiral Markets UK Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom (License No. 595450).
- Admiral Markets Europe Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) in Cyprus (License No. 201/13).

A regulated broker is supervised by a financial authority that enforces rules on client protection, reporting, segregating client funds, transparency, and business conduct. On the flipside, an unregulated broker is not subject to such oversight.
Regulation significantly reduces the risk of fraud and misuse of client funds.
The protections you have as a client depend on the specific Admiral Markets entity you trade with. But, in general, regulated brokers like Admiral Markets provide safeguards like segregated client accounts, negative balance protection, and in some cases investor compensation schemes. For more details, you can check our Financial Security Page.
Negative balance protection prevents a trading account from going below zero, so clients cannot owe more than the funds they have deposited. It is typically offered by regulated brokers. However, the availability and terms of this protection may vary depending on the broker, regulator, and client classification.
Client funds are held in segregated accounts at top-tier banks, separate from company funds. Combined with regulatory oversight and independent audits, this means your money is identifiable and protected even in extreme scenarios.
As with any company, there is a possibility that a broker could become insolvent. Choosing a regulated broker with segregated client funds and compensation schemes provides additional protection if financial difficulties occur.
There are a number of safeguards in place designed to protect client funds in the event of insolvency. Client money is kept in segregated accounts, separate from the company’s funds. Depending on which entity you trade with, your funds may also be protected by regulatory safeguards and insurance, according to the policy terms. These protections cover eligible cash and securities, not trading losses, ensuring your funds remain safeguarded. For more details, you can check our Financial Security Page.
Trading With Us FAQ
Un bróker de Forex es un intermediario entre tú y el mercado interbancario (redes de bancos que operan entre sí). Normalmente, un bróker de Forex te ofrecerá un precio de los bancos que actúan como tu proveedor de liquidez. Admiral Markets utiliza múltiples bancos para la fijación de precios y te ofrecemos las mejores cotizaciones de precios disponibles con una ejecución rápida.
Operar en el mercado interbancario es posible para particulares; sin embargo, requiere una inversión significativa. Así que, a menos que un trader tenga entre 50.000,00 USD y 100.000,00 USD disponibles, también se requiere apalancamiento financiero. Los brókers de Forex como Admiral Markets proporcionan ese mismo apalancamiento.
Admiral Markets ofrece una gama de material educativo para el trading de Forex —como artículos y webinarios—, así como herramientas para equipar y asistir a los traders en la toma de decisiones de trading informadas.
