Profile notes
- AU PDS identifies live and demo environments. Do not invent Standard/Raw named account tiers.
- AU PDS names Fortrader, while legacy global templates also advertise MT4. Selected AU profile should only promise Fortrader until edition-specific MT4 is confirmed.
- Do not conflate genuine fortrade.com with warned clone fortradefx.ae.
- Some /en-gb pages redirect to an Oops page; some /en-au contact URLs redirect to legacy global templates. Explicit AU homepage, AU conditions and AU PDS are retained.
- Live spread, execution, deposits, withdrawals and support response times not tested.
- The external overall reference spans several Fortrade regions. The factual profile uses the Australian PDS and Fortrader offering.

Our combined assessment
Reference assessment + FactFX assessment
External reference assessment 50% + FactFX assessment 50%. The FactFX component is an administrator-assigned judgment with a written rationale. No firsthand trading or withdrawal test is claimed.
External reference assessment
50% weightA dated overall product-review reference, normalized from its original scale. This is a broader product opinion, not a trust or regulatory subscore, and does not establish account-specific authorization or measured trading performance.
FactFX assessment
50% weightThe Australian PDS and Fortrader documentation provide a focused browser/mobile workflow, live and practice environments and several CFD asset classes. Current numerical spreads were not exposed by the public table, and instrument-specific exceptions require the active schedule. This is an opinion of product choice and documentation clarity, not a finding that actual costs are high or performance is poor.
