Verdict up front: The FCA has warned about this platform twice — first on 25 February 2025, then again on 23 July 2026 under a different address. It is still live and still taking registrations. If you have deposited, act now.
Verified evidence (checked 1 September 2026)
- First regulator warning: the FCA published a warning naming www.horizonglobalmarkets.com on 25 February 2025, listing an address at 55-61 High Street, Eltham, London.
- Second regulator warning: the FCA published a further warning naming https://horizonglobalmarkets.com on 23 July 2026 — nearly eighteen months later, under a different claimed address.
- Address on the 2026 notice: 1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5AB, with telephone +7027064466 — both shared with other FCA-warned platforms.
- The site is still operating. Live pages include a regulation page and a customer login, and it is presented as a CFD platform for stocks, gold, oil and indices.
- Domain age: horizonglobalmarkets.com was created 18 May 2026 (registrar Sav.com), which post-dates the first FCA warning entirely. Sources: two FCA Warning List entries; Verisign registry record.

Investors, Take Note A current domain registered after a regulator already warned about the brand is a sign of a re-launch, not a new business. |

What is Horizon Global Markets?
A CFD trading platform offering stocks, gold, oil and indices, with a live customer login. It is one of the few platforms in this batch to have attracted the FCA’s attention twice.
Warned once, then warned again
The FCA first named this platform on 25 February 2025, listing an Eltham, south London address and a US telephone number. It named it again on 23 July 2026, this time listing 1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf and a different phone. Two notices, eighteen months apart, under two different sets of contact details. The current domain was only registered in May 2026 — more than a year after the first warning — which points to the operation being re-established on fresh infrastructure rather than continuing unchanged.
What the FCA actually said
Both notices carry the same core wording: the firm “may be providing or promoting financial services or products without our permission” and is “not authorised by us.” The consequence is unchanged by there being two of them — money placed with an unauthorised firm has no Financial Services Compensation Scheme protection and no route to the Financial Ombudsman.
The pattern this fits
A warned platform that reappears on a new domain with a new address is following a well-worn cycle: get named, go quiet, re-register, resume. The Canary Wharf address on the second notice is the same one used by other platforms warned in the same week, and the telephone number matches theirs too. Presented as independent businesses, they submit identical contact details.
Check it for yourself
Nothing above depends on trusting us. Search the name on Google, ask ChatGPT, and run the register checks named in the evidence box. A regulator warning takes about a minute to confirm on the regulator’s own website, and that minute is the cheapest due diligence available to any investor.
For this platform specifically: search the FCA Warning List for Horizon Global Markets and note that two separate entries exist, dated February 2025 and July 2026. Then check the .com registry record for the domain and see that it was created in May 2026, after the first warning was already published.
If you have already deposited
Act on paper, not on hope. Save every screenshot, chat log, email, payment reference and wallet address before the platform can close your account — once access goes, so does your evidence. Report the loss to your national financial regulator and to your police force’s fraud unit. Tell your bank or card issuer immediately; where funds moved by card or transfer within recent weeks, a recall or chargeback is sometimes still possible. If you paid in cryptocurrency, the transaction cannot be reversed, but the receiving address is permanent evidence and exchanges can sometimes freeze onward movement.
Then brace for the second approach. Victims of investment fraud are frequently contacted again by people offering to recover the money for an upfront fee, sometimes posing as lawyers, regulators or the platform’s own compliance department. That is a second fraud aimed at the same victim. No legitimate recovery service, and no regulator anywhere, asks for a payment before returning your funds.
The bottom line
Warned by the FCA in February 2025 and again in July 2026. Currently running on a domain registered after the first warning, from a borrowed Canary Wharf address, on a phone number shared with other warned platforms. If you have money here, preserve your records and report it now.
