Why people choose to start here

What you get that a do-it-yourself setup does not

• Segregated client funds, held separately. Hartyn Markholm never commingles client money with company capital. Your funds sit with regulated banking partners, held apart from operational accounts at all times.
• FCA-aligned compliance standards. Verification, reporting and fund handling follow the same regulatory expectations set for firms authorised in the United Kingdom.
• Two-factor authentication as standard. Every sign-in and withdrawal request is protected by 2FA, alongside TLS encryption across the whole platform.
• Clear risk profile on every account. Before you deposit, your risk profile is set with your analyst, and predefined stop-loss and drawdown limits apply to every position.
• Multi-currency account statements. Every deposit, withdrawal, fee and trade appears on your account statement in plain figures, with nothing summarised away.
• Three asset classes, one secure login. Trade crypto, listed equities and major forex pairs from the same protected dashboard, without opening a second account elsewhere.
• Independently reviewed infrastructure. Quarterly third-party security audits and blockchain-logged trade receipts back every transaction on your account.

Is my money safe and protected here?

Who this is probably not for

Being straight about this saves everyone time. If any of the following describes you, a different route will suit you better.

• You need guaranteed returns. No honest platform offers them, and neither do we.
• You want to invest money you cannot afford to be without.
• You trade at professional volume with your own execution stack.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of some or all of the capital you invest. The value of investments can go down as well as up, and you may receive back less than you originally put in. You should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
