Speaking to Tradeo CEO, Jonathan Adest about the matter, he stated to Forex Magnates that they have been in contact, saying “We've notified them in the past on our planned pivot. As we now support only one MT4 server, they have no additional claims.”

Speaking about YouTradeFX, Adest mentioned that they provide a regulated partner to offer their brokerage services with. For YouTradeFX themselves, the CySEC entity is rather new, as they only received their license in the country in the summer of 2013. In the firm’s public statement, Adest commented that part of the rationale to the transition from a multi-broker offering to a single broker model was due to customer confusion, saying “Without doubt, the number one issue we heard again and again was the complexity of our registration funnels, as we weren't a broker.

The new venture is similar to the one launched by social trading network TradeCrowd in November, where they partnered with UK-based TradeNext to provide customer onboarding and regulation.
