A twenty year old boutique, still run by the two brothers who started it.

Dave and Jack Manoukian founded ATC Brokers in 2005 and they are still at the helm. A team of fourteen people. Dual regulation under the FCA and CIMA. One pricing book for every client, from the first trade to the ten thousandth.

Two regulators, not one.

ATC Brokers Limited holds an FCA licence in the United Kingdom under FRN 591361 and a CIMA licence in the Cayman Islands under FRN 1448274. The UK side brings the institutional grade oversight that hedge funds and family offices look for, including capital adequacy rules and conduct supervision. The Cayman entity adds operational flexibility for clients outside the UK who want a regulated home without the UK residency constraints. The practical effect for a trader is simple. You get to choose which jurisdiction fits you, and both sides are held to a real regulator with real enforcement teeth. Client funds are segregated at both entities.

One price list. Every trader.

Most brokers run tiered pricing. A new account pays one spread, a VIP desk pays another, and the gap between them is where the house edge lives. ATC Brokers runs uniform pricing. The same rate applies whether you are testing the platform with a small account or running serious size through it. There is no back room desk negotiating better terms for bigger balances, because the better terms are the only terms. For an everyday retail trader that means the cost of a round turn is not a moving target, it does not quietly widen when you lose a few trades, and it does not require a phone call to a relationship manager to unlock. You get the same book as everyone else.

No dealing desk. No inside seat on your flow.

ATC operates on a non dealing desk model with direct market access routing. No internal desk takes the other side of client positions, which removes the structural conflict that sits inside many retail shops. For scalpers and high frequency algo users that matters for two reasons. First, the execution is neutral. A winning strategy is not a liability to the counterparty, so there is no incentive to slow fills or widen spreads on profitable accounts. Second, the platform stack is built for it. MetaTrader 4 for the standard workflow, the proprietary MT Pro plug in for traders who want more control inside the same terminal, and mobile access for when you are away from the desk.
