Hold more than this and a normal day against you would break the daily loss limit. (Leverage of 1:100 would let you open up to $10,000,000.)

Four companies. The CFD service — the gold accounts — is sold by the Saint Lucia company, not the Dubai or Texas ones.

What that adds up to

!The company you contract with is registered in Saint LuciaBrightFunded Ltd (Saint Lucia, no. 2025-00358) is the entity whose terms you accept. Registering offshore is legal and normal in this industry, but it decides where a dispute would have to be pursued, and it is rarely where the firm's offices are.
