Regulation is terribly unfashionable these days.

Tech startups boast about “disruption” while conveniently sidestepping the boring bits like customer protection.

At Pelican, we’ve taken the tremendously unsexy approach of building our foundation on regulatory compliance: UK FCA, EU CySec, and Mauritius FSC.

Not because focus groups suggested it would attract millennials, but because Pelican does it Properly.

One doesn’t select a surgeon based on their Instagram following, after all.

Find out more about what we do here:

The financial media produces an impressive volume of content daily.

Most of it is spectacularly irrelevant to actual trading success.

At Pelican, we’re rather fond of data over narrative.

Our network enables traders to see what’s actually working – not what makes for entertaining television.

Between 74-89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs, often while faithfully following the latest market “story.”

Proper trading requires proper information. The rest is just rather expensive entertainment.

Trading from home has a curious side effect – isolation.

Just you, perhaps a houseplant, and the distinctly unsettling feeling that everyone else seems to understand something you don’t.

Pelican’s network was built specifically to address this unnecessary side effect.

The risks remain substantial, of course. But facing them with access to a community of traders following similar strategies is certainly preferable to facing them alone, with only coffee and anxiety for company.

We are excited to be part of the Vision Forex Forum tomorrow! 🚀 Looking forward to a great event.

It’s rather telling, isn’t it, that most trading platforms restrict you to copying traders from a single broker.

Rather like dining at a restaurant that claims to serve “the best food in the world” whilst only employing a single chef. One does wonder about the other 99% of culinary talent they’ve rather conveniently overlooked.

At Pelican, we’ve taken a decidedly different approach. Our network connects you to strategies across 50+ active brokers.

Not because it’s easier – quite the contrary – but because it’s Proper.

The maths is straightforward: more brokers = more trading strategies = greater probability of finding approaches that suit your particular requirements.

Of course, access to more strategies doesn’t eliminate the inherent risks of trading. Between 74-89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. Even the most sophisticated strategies can and do result in losses.

But given the choice between accessing 2% of the market’s trading talent or the full spectrum, which would any rational investor prefer?

“To the moon!” they proclaim, with tedious predictability, as markets climb.

What they fail to mention, with equal predictability, is what one should do when gravity inevitably reasserts itself.

Most platforms are suspiciously enthusiastic about buying and holding.

They’ll earnestly advise you to “HODL” through any market condition – a strategy with all the nuance of bringing only sunscreen on a British holiday.

Any competent driver knows that acceleration is only half the equation.

Braking, turning, and occasionally reversing are rather essential skills as well. That’s why Pelican enables traders to potentially benefit from both rising and falling markets.

Not because it’s revolutionary – it’s actually rather fundamental.

But because trading only half the market has always seemed a curiously limiting approach.

Trading in either direction involves substantial risk, naturally.

Between 74-89% of retail CFD traders lose money, and shorting markets introduces its own distinctive challenges.

But having the proper tools for changing conditions is rather essential, wouldn’t you say?

Another day, another trading platform vanishes with customer deposits.

Another cryptocurrency exchange suffers a mysteriously convenient “security incident.”

Another unregulated broker discovers they’re terribly sorry, but withdrawals simply aren’t possible at the moment.

These incidents have become so commonplace they barely warrant mention in the financial press. Rather like London rain – unpleasant but entirely expected.

In this regulatory Wild West, proper compliance isn’t merely a bureaucratic exercise – it’s the fundamental difference between legitimate finance and elaborate theatre.

At Pelican, we’ve built our foundation on triple-layer regulatory protection: UK FCA, EU CySec, and Mauritius FSC. Not because it was the simplest path – it most certainly wasn’t – but because it was the Proper one.

One doesn’t purchase a parachute based on its aesthetic appeal or convenient pricing, after all.

Some things simply must be done correctly, particularly when the alternative involves a rather rapid unplanned descent.

Have you noticed a rather curious phenomenon in trading circles?

During bull markets, self-proclaimed experts multiply faster than rabbits in springtime.

Revolutionary strategies emerge hourly.

Genius, it seems, is available on subscription.

Then markets correct, and these voices fall mysteriously silent. Rather like fair-weather cricket enthusiasts when rain interrupts play.

In our years building Pelican, we’ve observed that genuine trading expertise isn’t about grand pronouncements or proprietary indicators with mystical names.

Proper trading is ruthlessly methodical: process-driven, disciplined, and fundamentally respectful of risk. It’s measured through complete market cycles, not convenient cherry-picked intervals.

That’s precisely why we focus on providing access to strategies with transparent, verifiable track records across diverse market conditions.

Anyone can appear brilliant during a bull market – rather like appearing to walk on water by standing in a paddling pool.

Trading inherently carries significant risk (between 74-89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs), and no strategy eliminates this fundamental reality.

The question remains: would you rather follow the fashionable voice of the moment, or strategies built on proper trading principles?

Most trading platforms discuss “investment opportunities” with the unspoken assumption that markets only move upward.

A bit like selling umbrellas that only protect against rain falling straight down.

At Pelican, we acknowledge the rather obvious fact that markets also decline.

Our network provides access to strategies that can potentially profit from both directions.

Trading in either direction involves substantial risk – between 74-89% of retail accounts lose money when trading CFDs.

But having only half the toolkit seems a peculiar approach to any serious endeavour.

The trading world seems allergic to transparency, doesn’t it?

Mysterious “proprietary systems” and strategies shrouded in jargon so thick you need a translator.

At Pelican, we find this approach a bit peculiar. Our network displays strategy performance with refreshing clarity – both gains and losses.

Between 74-89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. This isn’t a footnote we hide – it’s reality we acknowledge.

Proper trading begins with proper information.

Everything else is just theatre with impressive lighting.

Have you noticed how trading “gurus” appear and disappear with remarkable regularity?

Today’s market genius is tomorrow’s deleted YouTube channel.

At Pelican, we’re significantly more interested in strategies with staying power – approaches that function across multiple market environments.

Past performance doesn’t guarantee future results. But strategies that have weathered different market cycles generally deserve more attention than those born yesterday.

Proper trading requires proper perspective. Anything less is just gambling with complicated terminology.

Economics professors love discussing the “network effect”: how value increases with each additional participant.

In trading, this principle is remarkably under appreciated.

A network of 50+ brokers does more than give you a wider range of options — it creates an entirely different ecosystem.

Trading carries significant risk, naturally. But having access to strategies across multiple brokers provides a diversity that isolated platforms can’t match.

Rather like comparing a local pond to the Atlantic.

Both contain water, but the ecosystems are far from the same.

Your attention is perhaps your most valuable trading asset.

Most platforms seem designed to fracture it – blinking notifications, urgent “opportunities,” and constant market commentary.

Pelican takes a rather different approach. Our network is designed to filter signal from noise, allowing you to focus on meaningful information.

Between 74-89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs, often while drowning in information without knowledge.

In trading, as in life, what you ignore is often as important as what you observe.

AI trading is everywhere.

Here’s what actually matters: while AI excels at data processing, it struggles with market psychology and unprecedented events.

Remember March 2020?

At Pelican, we combine tech efficiency with human expertise.

Strategies vetted by traders who’ve navigated real volatility, not just backtested scenarios.

Because markets aren’t always rational. And sometimes you need human judgment, not just algorithms.

Trading involves substantial risk. Between 74-89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs.

Crypto’s making headlines again. With hundreds invited to Trump’s ‘exclusive’ crypto dinner, everyone’s an expert.

The “HODL” crowd says buy and wait. But what happens when gravity kicks in?

Most platforms only bet on prices rising. A little bit limiting, isn’t it?

Pelican’s network includes strategies for both rising and falling crypto markets.

Not through predictions, but by accessing traders who understand risk management across cycles.

Crypto trading is high-risk and volatile. You could lose substantial amounts rapidly.

New financial regulations are coming. Most platforms are worried.

But we’re actually looking forward to them.

Tighter regulation separates legitimate platforms from opportunistic ones.

It’s like having proper building standards: inconvenient for cowboys, essential for everyone else.

Pelican’s triple-layer regulatory protection (UK FCA, EU CySec, Mauritius FSC) isn’t only for compliance – it gives us a genuine competitive advantage.

Because proper regulation protects serious traders from the wild west of unregulated platforms.

Social trading is trending. TikTok traders are dispensing wisdom between dance videos.

But there’s a crucial difference between following influencers and copying verified strategies.

Social trading = entertainment mixed with financial advice.

Copy trading = professional strategies with transparent track records.

At Pelican, we focus on the latter. Regulated, vetted, properly documented approaches from real traders, not viral content creators.

Trading involves substantial risk – shouldn’t your strategy be professional too?

What a week at the iFX EXPO!

Three days of meeting brilliant people from across the trading world, and we loved every minute of it. The response to what we’ve got here at Pelican has been incredible.

It was great to see so many traders and brokers who know about our network and talk about their experiences.

Had some amazing conversations about the future of copy trading, met potential new partners, and connected with traders who are already smashing it on our platform.

There’s nothing quite like hearing firsthand how the network is making a real difference.

Massive thanks to everyone who came by our stand and took the time for a proper conversation. The trading community continues to be one of the most passionate groups we work with.

The momentum behind Pelican right now is something special – time to get back to building the future of trading.
