Score CM

Score CM, also known as Score Capital Markets, launched in 2024 and operates under offshore licences from Dominica’s Financial Services Unit and the Mwali International Services Authority (Comoros).

It provides trading exclusively via MetaTrader 5 (no MT4 support), offering access to over 60 CFDs across forex, indices, commodities, metals, and cryptocurrencies. The broker offers high leverage of up to 1:1000, and while negative balance protection is claimed, client fund segregation and investor compensation schemes are not clearly disclosed.

Score CM makes it easy to get started, with a low $10 minimum deposit. First impressions were mixed—nothing stood out immediately, but the basics were in place and worked as expected during our testing.

The MT5 platform was stable and responsive, and we found execution speeds acceptable with minimal slippage. Support via live chat and email was functional, and multiple funding methods—including various crypto options—worked smoothly during our tests.

MT5 is offered with the full standard toolkit: technical indicators, customisable charts, and basic Expert Advisor (EA) functionality. Execution was reasonably fast throughout our sessions, and we didn’t encounter any downtime or slippage issues worth flagging. These features make Score CM a workable option for traders seeking simplicity, high leverage, and straightforward access to MT5 trading.

Unfortunately, Score CM falls short on trading costs and regulatory robustness. Index CFDs are particularly expensive—the FTSE spread clocks in at 5 points, and the Dow at 4.50, which are among the highest we’ve seen across brokers reviewed by TraderGuide. Such wide spreads can quickly eat into profits for index traders or short-term strategies. While spreads on major forex pairs can be tight in ECN modes, other asset classes felt much less competitive.

The regulatory profile is minimal. Operating under two offshore jurisdictions without recognized consumer protections, Score CM lacks standard safeguards such as compensation schemes or transparent client fund segregation. While they mention negative balance protection, detailed policies are absent—raising risk considerations for those used to FCA or ASIC standards.

Score CM also offers only MetaTrader 5; there is no proprietary platform, copy trading, or social trading functionality. The offering remains basic—no advanced analytics or added features that often come with more polished brokers.

Score CM does the minimum well enough—stable platform, easy onboarding, and decent support. But once you dig deeper, the gaps are hard to ignore.

The index spreads are some of the highest we’ve seen across brokers on TraderGuide, and that alone makes Score CM a tough sell for cost-conscious traders.

If you’re only trading the most common forex pairs and don’t mind paying a premium on indices, it might do the job. But for anyone serious about keeping trading costs low or seeking deeper regulatory protection, there are stronger choices out there. Score CM is functional, but not competitive—and that’s a dealbreaker in a space where razor-thin pricing and tight execution matter more than ever.
