Mt.Cook Financial (mtcookfinancial.com) is a boutique, technology-driven FX & CFD broker built for serious traders, funds, and money managers. Under one brand, clients can access the full liquidity stream—ECN.

Mt.Cook runs an agency-only, A-book (no b-book) model: trades are passed straight through to liquidity partners/ODPs, and the firm’s compensation is the transparent round-turn commission quoted outside the spread. No hidden markups.

Accounts, pricing & leverage:

• ECN account: commission $7.50 per standard round-turn lot, minimum deposit $500.

• ECN (Mt. Kilimanjaro): commission $6.50 per round-turn lot, typically suited to higher volume.

• Mt. Everest tier: $5.50 per round-turn for institutional flow.

Markets & platforms: Trade forex, precious metals, indices, energies, and crypto CFDs via MetaTrader 4 (desktop & mobile) or FIX/API for custom and systematic strategies. MT4 is heavily optimized (low-latency bridge, Equinix data centers) and the ECN MT4 terminal is available. API connectivity supports full depth-of-market and real-time pricing for quants and developers.

Liquidity & execution: The ECN stream aggregates 18+ independent liquidity sources and uses a Smart Order Routing Algorithm (SoRa) to balance tight pricing with market depth.

Money managers & copy/social trading: For asset managers, Mt.Cook offers its Hybrid PAM—a next-gen allocation system combining block execution with investor-level controls (risk multipliers, equity-stop protection, fee automation, and IP protection). The brokerage also integrates with leading social/copy networks (e.g., MetaTrader Signals, Myfxbook/Signal Start).

Funding & withdrawals: Accounts are managed via a secure client portal. Minimum deposit is $500; common funding routes include bank wire and crypto, and withdrawals are processed daily.

Regulation & group structure: Mt.Cook is a multi-entity group. Atlantic Pearl Financial (Pty) Ltd serves South African residents and is authorised by the FSCA (FSP 50420). Atlantic Pearl Limited (St. Kitts & Nevis) serves international clients. The website notes that services are not directed to U.S. residents and lists restricted jurisdictions.
