About Hatta Copy

Who runs this desk

Hatta Copy is run by a small editorial team that writes and checks every page in-house. We are writers and researchers, not traders selling a system, and we do not manage money for anyone. If a page on this site reads like a sales pitch, that is a mistake we want reported to editor@hattacopyae.com.

We work from the broker's own documents and from the facts we can verify on the day we check them. We do not have a dealing desk, we do not hold client funds, and we cannot open, close or adjust an account for a reader. Everything here is written for readers in the UAE, with local funding and the local regulator in mind.

The editorial standard for a number

A number appears on this site only when we can point to where it came from, and every number carries its unit and its condition in the same sentence. The gold contract is stated as 1 lot = 100 oz with one pip = 0.01, and the reference price is given as approximately 4275.0 so a reader can see the scale being used. If we cannot source a figure, we describe what it depends on instead of inventing a plausible-looking value. That is a stricter standard than it sounds, because it removes most of the numbers a trading page could contain.

Costs are described by their components, never by an adjective. A gold trade can involve a spread, a commission and a swap, and each of those depends on the broker, the account type, the instrument and the holding period. We do not print a spread figure we were not given, and we do not call a cost low, tight or competitive, because those words are claims and we have no basis for them here. What we can do is explain how each component is charged and when it applies, so you can read a real quote sheet with the right questions.

Leverage is handled as a boundary, not a setting. The figure we publish is up to 1:500 on standard forex accounts, within DFSA/SCA-compliant limits, and it varies by instrument. The worked example of about $85.50 margin for a 0.10-lot gold position exists to show how margin is calculated at that boundary, not to suggest it is the right level for anyone. Any other ratio you see quoted elsewhere is not from us. When a number depends on your account, your entity and your instrument, we say so plainly.

How the site is funded and what that does and does not influence

The site is funded by its own publishing operation, and where a commercial arrangement exists it is disclosed on the page it affects. Funding covers the time spent checking broker details, writing platform walkthroughs and keeping instrument notes current. It does not buy a place in a comparison, a favourable sentence about execution, or the removal of a risk warning. The test we apply is simple: if a funding source would be embarrassed by an accurate page, the page is still published accurately, and the arrangement is stated where a reader will see it.

Funding has no influence on the facts we state about FxPro. The UAE-facing entity is FxPro Global Markets MENA Ltd., and the regulator caveat we carry is that FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK), CySEC and FSCA. We do not add a local licence claim we cannot support, and we do not drop the caveat because a page would read better without it. The same applies to funding methods: we list cards, bank transfer and e-wallets, and note that local UAE bank transfer is supported, because those are the methods we can confirm.

What funding does influence is scope. It determines how many platforms we can cover in detail, which is why MT4, MT5, cTrader and FxPro Edge each get their own notes rather than a single paragraph. It also determines how often we revisit pages, which is why a stale figure is corrected rather than left in place. It does not influence the editorial angle, which stays on mechanics and risk: contract size, pip value, margin at the stated cap, and the fact that gold trading can lose more than the margin committed.

Who runs this desk and how decisions are made

This desk is run by a small editorial team based in the UAE, with each member responsible for a defined slice of the toolkit: instrument notes, cost mechanics, platform walkthroughs and risk framing. Decisions on what to publish are made in a weekly editorial call where every proposed page must pass two tests: it answers a question a UAE trader would actually ask, and every number in it can be traced to a source we are willing to name. There is no single owner signing off on hype; consensus is required before a page goes live.

Decisions about which broker details to include are made against the published facts we hold, not against commercial relationships. When we describe FxPro, we state that the UAE-facing entity is FxPro Global Markets MENA Ltd. and that FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK), CySEC and FSCA. We do not add a regulator we cannot verify, and we do not soften that caveat to make a page read more smoothly. If a detail changes at the broker, the page is corrected rather than quietly left stale.

Day-to-day calls on wording follow a simple rule: if a sentence implies a promise, it is rewritten. That is why you will see leverage described as a cap of up to 1:500 on standard forex accounts, within DFSA/SCA-compliant limits, varying by instrument, rather than as a target. A 0.10-lot gold position at that cap needs about $85.50 margin, and we show that figure as an illustration of the mechanics, not as a recommendation to use the maximum. The desk treats restraint as part of accuracy.

The questions we ask before any broker detail goes live

Before a broker detail is published, we ask whether it can be verified from a primary source and whether it will still be true in six months. For FxPro that means confirming the UAE-facing entity is FxPro Global Markets MENA Ltd., confirming the platforms are MT4, MT5, cTrader and FxPro Edge, and confirming the regulator caveat reads exactly as FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK), CySEC and FSCA. A detail that fails the first question is described in terms of what it depends on; a detail that fails the second is dated or left out rather than presented as permanent.

We ask whether the detail changes what a reader would do with their money, and if it does, we add the risk framing in the same paragraph. Leverage is the clearest case: up to 1:500 on standard forex accounts, within DFSA/SCA-compliant limits, varies by instrument, and it is a cap rather than a setting to aim at. The margin illustration for a 0.10-lot gold position at about $85.50 is included so the reader can see how the cap translates into money posted, and the same paragraph notes that losses can exceed that margin. A leverage figure without that context is not published here.

We ask whether the detail is being included because it is useful or because it fills space. Funding methods pass that test because a UAE reader needs to know that cards, bank transfer and e-wallets are listed and that local UAE bank transfer is supported; a list of methods we cannot confirm does not. Contract specifications pass it because 1 lot = 100 oz and one pip = 0.01 determine every calculation a reader will make. A promotional detail fails it, which is why no bonus, promotion or minimum deposit figure appears on this site as a stated number.

What this desk is not

Hatta Copy is not a broker, not a bank and not a licensed financial adviser. We do not execute orders, hold client money, or give personal recommendations on whether to buy or sell gold. Nothing on this site is a personal recommendation, and it should not be read as one.

We also do not claim any licence or regulatory status of our own, because we have none. When a page mentions a broker's licence, the only regulator fact we rely on is the one the broker states: FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK), CySEC and FSCA. That is a statement about the broker, not about this desk.

How the desk is paid, and what payment cannot buy

Affiliate links are the only revenue this desk has. If a reader opens a broker account through a link on this site, the broker may pay us a referral fee, and that costs the reader nothing extra. We do not sell advertising, sponsored reviews or paid placement, and we do not accept guest posts.

Payment never buys a rating and never hides a weakness. A broker that pays a referral fee gets the same checks as any other, and a weakness we find is written down whether or not there is a commercial relationship. If a broker's terms on funding, withdrawal or cost are unclear, we say so plainly, and the reader can decide.

How to challenge something published here

You challenge a published claim by writing to the desk with the page, the sentence and the source you believe is correct, and we will check it against the facts we hold. If the sentence is wrong, it is corrected and the correction is noted on the page. If the sentence is right but unclear, it is rewritten. We do not require you to be a customer of any broker, and we do not ask for account details. A specific challenge with a citable source gets a specific answer; a general complaint about a broker gets a general explanation of what we can and cannot verify.

The most useful challenges are the ones aimed at numbers. If you believe a margin example is wrong, show the contract size, the price and the leverage you are using, and we will rework the arithmetic. The published example uses 1 lot = 100 oz, a pip of 0.01 and a reference price of approximately 4275.0, with a 0.10-lot position at the stated cap of up to 1:500 on standard forex accounts, within DFSA/SCA-compliant limits. If your broker applies a different instrument-specific limit, that is exactly the kind of correction we want to see, because the cap varies by instrument.

Challenges to regulator statements are handled the same way. We state that FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK), CySEC and FSCA, and that the UAE-facing entity is FxPro Global Markets MENA Ltd. If you have a public register entry that contradicts or adds to that, send it and we will review it against the register itself rather than against a secondary summary. We will not remove a caveat because it is inconvenient, and we will not add a licence claim without a register entry behind it. That symmetry is the point of inviting the challenge.

What this desk will never publish about gold trading

This desk will never publish a profit figure, a win rate or a performance claim for a gold strategy, because none of those can be stated honestly without a verified track record we do not hold. Gold (XAU/USD) is a leveraged instrument where a 1-lot position is 100 oz and one pip is 0.01, so the money at risk moves quickly relative to the margin posted. We describe mechanics and costs, and we leave outcomes to the reader. Any page that implies a reliable income from trading gold would contradict the risk framing every page here carries.

We will never describe a cost as cheap, tight or competitive without a number to support it, and since we are not given a spread, commission or swap figure, those words do not appear attached to costs. Instead we say what a cost consists of and what it depends on: the broker, the account type, the instrument and how long a position is held. That is less satisfying to read than a headline number, and it is the only version we can defend when a reader checks it against their own statement.

We will never present the maximum leverage as a target. Up to 1:500 on standard forex accounts, within DFSA/SCA-compliant limits, is a cap that varies by instrument, and the worked example of about $85.50 margin for a 0.10-lot gold position is there to show the arithmetic, not to recommend sizing. We will not name a funding method we cannot confirm, which is why the list stays at cards, bank transfer and e-wallets, with local UAE bank transfer noted as supported. And we will not drop the statement that FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK), CySEC and FSCA.
