About company:

Pacific Financial Derivatives Limited (PFD-NZ) was founded in 1991. It is headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand, but the company provides services to traders all over the world.

PFD acts as Derivatives Issuer (DI) under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. PFD offers brokerage services for trading currencies, metals, commodities, CFDs, indices and futures.

Security

The company is authorized by the New Zealand Financial Markets Authority (FMA) and is a member of the Dubai Commodities Exchange. The broker is also an FDRS participant (an independent financial organization for settling disputes between traders and brokers).

The FMA supervises activity of financial companies to ensure better security to traders. In addition, regulated dealing centers must have at least $1 million in their account.

Trading platform

PFD offers only one trading platform, MetaTrader 4 (MT4). It provides effective tools for construction of graphs, an environment for developing custom tools (MQL), and mobile applications for iOS and Android. Another advantage of MetaTrader is a wide range of technical indicators and automated trading systems (Expert Advisors). Most importantly, a trader can use them even when working with other dealing centers.

In addition, PFD provides access to MT4 MultiTerminal designed for management of multiple Forex accounts.
