Who is CPT Markets & Trades?
On the surface, CPT Markets & Trades looks like an ordinary forex and crypto broker. Its public site is presented at www.cpttrades.com. But surface impressions are exactly what these operations rely on — the substance behind CPT Markets & Trades is where the problems begin.
Is CPT Markets & Trades regulated?
We could find no evidence that CPT Markets & Trades holds a valid licence from any recognised financial regulator. Trading client funds without authorisation is one of the strongest indicators of a scam — there is no regulator to complain to, and no protection for your money.
Red flags we identified
- Opaque or anonymous corporate ownership
- Offshore or shell-company registration used to avoid oversight
- Account dashboards that show “gains” with no real market exposure
- Unrealistic profit claims and pressure to deposit more
- Aggressive “account managers” coaching clients to deposit
