- Thanks.
The post-trade transparency report is used for a single trade, not for bulk/monthly reporting. Meaning you’ve made a trade on 20.09 and you saw a spike that was unnatural resulting in your order being stopped out due to margin or SL levels hit. Then you write to the support and ask for such a report for that trade. So, that you can see where was the issue. - It’s all about the location/regulation of the broker. Brokers regulated with different regulators can offer different leverages.
- Every broker regardless of order execution model can offer higher leverages (for clients outside of the EU) if they have an office/branch/subsidiary registered with an “authority” outside of the EU (for example - Vanuatu), which means that the EU clients will get the leverage cap of x30 but the non-EU traders can register with the broker’s non-EU branch and still receive the higher leverage.
- Perhaps it would be easier to spot MM/DD broker traits.

Remember - All scam brokers are Market Makers/Dealing Desks, but not all Market Makers/Dealing Desk brokers are scams!
It’s kinda the same thing like with scotch, cognac and champagne:
- All scotches are whisky, but not all whiskys are scotch.
- All cognac is brandy, but not all brandys are cognac.
- All champagne is sparkling wine, but not all sparkling wines are champagne.
