Legal file

Medium-to-high legal risk. Elite Trader Funding now has unusually explicit terms around synthetic accounts, non-broker/FCM status, KYC and LIVE ELITE conversion, but the discretion is broad: ETF can move traders to LIVE ELITE before, during or after payout review, can close sim-funded accounts on conversion, and has strict refund/chargeback penalties.

Country markers only come from official lists: FATF increased monitoring (2026-10-30) and the EU tax lists (2026-10-09). This country is not on them. No marker does not mean a country, or a firm, is safe: a regulator link only says who supervises financial firms there, not that this firm is licensed. See where all tracked firms are registered →
