About Direct Trading Technologies
Direct Trading Technologies UK Ltd is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority under firm reference number FRN 795892; it was structured to provide services exclusively to Professional or Eligible Counterparty clients and does not serve retail clients. The firm operated CFD and forex trading via its proprietary DTTPro platform, offering demo accounts (minimum deposit USD 0.0, commission USD 2, maximum leverage 1:100, no hedging, no scalping, no Islamic account) and real accounts (minimum deposit USD 10 000, same commission and leverage, likewise without hedging, scalping, Islamic features or negative balance protection). USD was implied among account currencies. ()
On 27 March 2025, the FCA imposed restrictions on Direct Trading Technologies, preventing it from conducting any regulated activities or disposing of assets without FCA consent. Open positions were required to be closed by 3 April 2025 and client money under Title Transfer Collateral Arrangements had to be returned to compliant accounts by 31 March 2025. As of 4 April 2025, the firm's Part 4A permission was varied to remove all regulated activities. These actions were taken following findings that the firm had falsified audit records, had inadequate financial crime controls, poor governance, and failed to cooperate with the regulator. ()
Who it’s for
- Professional clients or Eligible Counterparties able to meet high minimum deposit threshold (USD 10 000) and understand leveraged CFD/forex trading;
- Experienced traders seeking variable spreads and direct access to liquidity via the DTTPro platform;
- Clients outside the United States, as the firm explicitly excluded US residents from its service offering. ()
Pros and cons
Pros
- Regulated by the FCA at the time of operation, aimed at institutional-grade clients;
- Offers standardised commission (USD 2) and high maximum leverage (1:100) on both demo and real accounts.
Cons
- FCA revoked permission to carry out regulated activities following serious regulatory breaches, including falsified audits and governance failures;
- No services were available to retail clients; high minimum deposit requirement of USD 10 000 for real account;
- Lack of Islamic (swap-free) accounts, hedging, scalping, or negative balance protection, limiting flexibility for certain trading styles.
