A licence is the first thing a fake broker cannot produce, so it is the first thing to check.
T4Trade's licence is offshore (FSA). Offshore entities typically offer higher leverage and lighter reporting, and compensation schemes do not apply - the trade-off is protection, not price.
An FSA licence here is usually the Seychelles authorisation - an offshore entity, with lighter obligations than a tier-one regulator.
Check the licence yourself: the Seychelles FSA list of regulated entities.

Costs matter less than whether you can withdraw, but an offer that looks impossible usually is.
A quoted spread from 0.0 pips is a raw-spread figure, which almost always means a separate commission per lot. Compare the two together - a "zero spread" account with a high commission can cost more than a wider spread with none.
Quoted spreads are best-case figures on the most liquid pair, in normal conditions. What you actually pay widens around news and at the session open.
T4Trade lists a minimum deposit of $50. Treat it as the cost of opening an account, not the cost of trading one - position sizing on a small balance is what tends to cause damage.

Leverage up to 1:1000 is available on this entity. High leverage does not increase your expected return - it increases position size for the same deposit, and shortens the move needed to close you out.
T4Trade covers forex, metals, indices, futures, commodities, shares. A wider range matters less than depth in the instruments you actually trade.
Funding options: credit/debit cards, bank transfer, e-wallets and regional payment methods. Check withdrawal routes as well as deposit ones - they are often not the same, and the difference only becomes apparent when you try to take money out.

Questions people ask about T4Trade
Is T4Trade a real registered company?
Yes. At T4Trade, the company you would be contracting with is Tradeco Limited, registered as 8422971-1 and based in Eden Island, Seychelles. A registration number is checkable in the register of the country that issued it, and a broker that will not give you one is telling you something.
Is T4Trade regulated, and by whom?
T4Trade holds Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA), SD029, which we grade as tier 3. A licence number is the part worth checking, because it is the thing a cloned site copies and the thing the regulator's register will not confirm.
Does T4Trade trade under any other names?
T4Trade also appears as T4Trade. This matters when you are checking a licence or a warning list, because a search for one name will not always find what was published about another.
