AGORA direct Information
In 2005, AGORA direct was founded in Germany. It gives you access to more than 150 global exchanges and a comprehensive choice of trading tools, such as stocks, ETFs, CFDs, options, futures, and cryptocurrencies. The company says it is authorized by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), but the real licensed institution is different. AGORA direct is categorized as a suspicious clone, which means it falsely pretends to be regulated. The company does, however, stress cheap fees, openness, and wide trading access through its Trader Workstation platform.
