Decision Snapshot:
You’re a fit if: you want multiple account choices (Classic / Prime / ECN), high advertised leverage, and easy onboarding — especially if you prefer brokers with accessible account tiers and a presence across regions (including recent UAE authorization).
Note: This review is for informational purposes only. Please verify all details directly with CPT Markets before opening an account.
Why 7.2/10? CPT Markets is a flexible retail broker with a full platform stack and multiple account options that can serve beginners through active traders. Its growth into regulated regional markets (for example, UAE SCA authorization) is positive — but because legal protections and client experience vary by entity, conservative traders should confirm which CPT Markets legal entity governs their account, demo test execution, and do a small deposit/withdrawal check before scaling.
