At Fortrade, your numbers do the talking. We are a global CFD and Forex trading provider, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA Reference: 609970), established in 2013. Our Watford team works exclusively with UK-based FCA clients in a non-advisory, execution-only environment.

Not every call goes your way • Hunger to grow, not just to start • Coachable - the system works if you work it • Professional telephone manner and strong written communication • Commitment to ethical conduct and FCA compliance standards No finance degree needed.
