FULL WRITTEN REVIEW · BY THE BROKERLENS DESK
{{ q.k }}
{{ q.v }}
Pros
✓ Dual Tier-1 regulation (FCA + ASIC) with segregated Tier-1 bank custody ✓ Raw ECN spreads from 0.0 pips with transparent commission ✓ 96% mediation response rate — best in its peer group ✓ Verified London trading floor and audited server infrastructure ✓ Public disclosure-change log (rare transparency practice)
Cons
✕ Separate offshore entity offers different (weaker) protections ✕ Inactivity fee after 12 months without trades ✕ Dubai branch address mismatch unresolved since May 2026
Is {{ pShort }} legit?

Yes — by every measurable signal we track. Its FCA and ASIC licences are active and verified at source, client funds sit in segregated Tier-1 accounts, and its complaint record (14 in 12 months, 12 resolved) is well below the peer median. The two caveats worth reading before you deposit: confirm your account sits under the UK or AU entity rather than the offshore one, and note the unresolved Dubai address mismatch flagged by our field team.

Is {{ pShort }} regulated?

Yes — FCA Full License #521844 (UK) and ASIC AFS Licence #443921 (Australia), both verified against the registries within the last 24 hours.

What is the minimum deposit?

$100 on the Standard account; $200 for Raw ECN; $10 for Cent accounts.

Does it support MT5?

Yes — 6 verified MT5 live servers alongside 12 MT4 servers, plus its own {{ pShort }} Trade app.

Is it available in the US?

No. {{ pShort }} does not accept US residents; it holds no CFTC/NFA registration.
