Doto, a CFD broker with its own platform and MetaTrader

Doto is an online trading platform specialising in contracts for difference (CFDs) on forex, commodities, indices, cryptocurrencies and stocks. The website doto.com is operated exclusively by Doto Global LTD, a company incorporated in Mauritius with number C162994 and authorised by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) as an Investment Dealer (Full Service Dealer excluding Underwriting) under licence C119023978.

The firm presents itself as part of an international group of related companies with regulatory authorisations in various jurisdictions. Trading activity and the operation of the MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms are the exclusive responsibility of Doto Global LTD and are governed by the laws of Mauritius.

Instruments and markets available

The platform provides access to five major asset classes: forex, commodities, indices, cryptocurrencies and stocks. The site mentions specific examples such as Bitcoin, Tesla or Nvidia shares, and commodities such as gold or oil, tradable via CFDs without the need to buy or store the underlying asset.

The catalogue is organised by instrument with information on price, 24-hour change, leverage, minimum spread and performance over the last seven days. The website itself warns that this data is for general reference only and that real-time market information should be checked on Doto.

In addition to its own platform, Doto offers the MetaTrader 5 and MetaTrader 4 platforms for those who prefer classic trading tools. The proprietary platform includes analytical tools, market news and an economic calendar designed to help plan trades and anticipate movements.
