Today we’re looking at a top-tier trading platform designed to make your trading journey as simple and convenient as possible. They promise user-friendly controls, advanced features, and educational materials, as well as several account types with seemingly low costs and excellent multilingual support. However, in this TradeEU Global review, we will take a close look to see if everything is really as good as it seems, because behind the fancy words there can sometimes be hidden risks and questions about legality.
The broker claims to be registered in Mauritius and holds a license from the Mauritian regulator. This is generally true. It indeed has a license from the FSC.
But if you dig deeper, the company’s history is much more complex. A couple of years ago, the brand was simply called TradeEU and operated under the management of a Cyprus-based company with a license from the CySEC regulator on tradeeu.com domain.
So why did the jurisdiction change? Between 2022 and 2023, TradeEU violated regulator rules and was fined 90,000 euros by CySEC. Apparently, this fine was the reason for the rapid change of the managing company for a simpler offshore zone, where requirements for brokers are much softer and easier to bypass.
It’s also important to remember that the Mauritius license fully protects only residents of that country. If you file a complaint against the broker from another jurisdiction, it’s unlikely the regulator will intervene or side with you. This means real protection for most foreign traders is practically absent.
So, here’s what else we’ve discovered. In fact, Tradesense Holding (the company currently operating the TradeEU Global brand) was registered back in 2021. But as we know, most of the broker’s activity at the time was conducted under a CySEC license, through a different legal entity and under the brand name TradeEU.
Why did they need a second legal structure? Most likely, it was created from the beginning as a backup in case operating under the strict oversight of a European regulator became inconvenient or undesirable. It’s also possible that two parallel streams were running. For example, one group of clients was directed to Cyprus under EU regulation, while the other was pushed toward the offshore entity, where requirements are far more relaxed and easier to bypass.
Interestingly, the Cypriot company is now promoting a new brand under the name TitanEdge.
When it comes to the website, the first thing that stands out is the fact that TradeEU Global operates through no less than three different domains. And that’s not even counting the earlier versions used before the rebranding.
Unfortunately, the website itself leaves a mixed impression. Aside from basic company information, there’s very little useful content. It’s nice to see that spreads are listed per individual instrument — a rare detail among offshore brokers. However, once you try to register, complications begin. For example, from our European jurisdiction, we received the message: “TradeEU is not available in your location or to residents of your country.”
This raises a valid question. Who exactly does this broker work with? It would be much more transparent if such restrictions were communicated upfront, not discovered only during the sign-up process.
At first glance, the trading conditions at TradeEU Global might seem quite appealing. The company offers leverage of up to 1:200 and claims to provide tight spreads. Indeed, according to the table on the website, spreads start from 0.4 pips for major currency pairs, and for stocks, they can be as low as $0.03. Overall, these numbers are fairly average. The best spreads like these are usually reserved for ECN accounts with well-regulated brokers.
However, this is where transparency ends. There’s no information at all about the minimum deposit. Is it $100? $1,000? $5,000? It’s simply not clear.
Now let’s look at what the company presents as competitive advantages. The ability to open long and short positions, mobile trading, market news updates, customer support, and no hidden fees. All of this is pitched as something remarkable, while in reality, it’s just a basic set of features that literally every broker offers.
Add to this the fact that TradeEU Global is an offshore company, where client protection is extremely limited. As a result, even decent spreads and high leverage turn into risks. You might lose money not only due to trading itself, but because of something much simpler — the lack of proper regulation. And the leverage alone is a risk, too. For example, the Cypriot regulator only allows up to 1:50.
When it comes to customer support, TradeEU Global really goes above and beyond, at least in terms of phone numbers. The company lists a truly staggering amount of contact numbers for different countries. We’re talking about more than a dozen lines, covering regions from Latin America to the Gulf states.
Additionally, there’s a single support email address, and a modest presence on social media. While the social media channels do exist, they don’t appear to be particularly active or widely followed, which is somewhat surprising for a company that claims to have been around for four years and positions itself as a global brand.
So what does this all tell us? The abundance of phone numbers might seem impressive, but the selection of countries is quite specific, while major markets like the EU or North America are notably absent. This raises some questions about where the broker is really active and who its target audience is. All in all, the support setup feels oddly selective for a company that claims to be truly international.
