Research checklist
What traders should verify
FTB does not assume that a broker, exchange or product available elsewhere is automatically available to residents of India.
Regulatory position
Identify the relevant regulator and legal entity. Do not rely only on a global brand name.
Funding & withdrawals
Review current supported payment methods, fees, processing times and account verification requirements.
Trading hours
Use local time carefully. India Standard Time, provider availability, regulation, funding methods and tax/legal considerations can affect how a trader plans sessions and news releases.
Costs
Compare spread, commission, swap, conversion and withdrawal costs rather than focusing on one headline fee.
Risk
Leverage can magnify losses. Product protections and account rules differ by provider and jurisdiction.
Compare providers carefully
