Latest Exposures

FBS is a joke… account shows funds available but when you try to trade it rejects with ‘not enough money’. They just manipulate the platform to stop traders from opening profitable trades. Feels like a straight scam

In the afternoon (Asian session) Malaysian time, your EURUSD spreads consistently stayed above 2.8 pips. Meanwhile, other major platforms were running spreads below 1.5. Shameless! They're operating without a license and freezing accounts. Who's responsible if I can't withdraw RM50,000? KVB doesn't even have a BNM license in Malaysia, yet they're so brazen about soliciting customers! I deposited RM50,000, and my account was suddenly frozen, citing "compliance review." Their slippage during trading was the worst of anyone else's. My stop-loss on USD/JPY was set at 138.5, but it only closed at 139.8. A 130-point slippage resulted in a loss of RM23,000. KVB is not licensed to trade forex in Malaysia. Freezing accounts is purely a scam.

Withdrawal scammers. Malaysians, don't treat them like ATMs. As a three-year veteran of the Malaysian forex market, this is the first time I've been scammed by OneRoyal. I wanted to smash my computer! I applied to withdraw 20,000 Malaysian ringgit on the 23rd of last month, and 15 days later, the money is still stuck on "under review"! Every time I contact customer service, they either say "the risk control department is verifying it" or give me a ticket number that no one is handling. When I ask what stage the verification is at, they just play dead. Last Wednesday, I traded EUR/USD on the night of the non-farm payroll report. I set a stop-loss at 1.0850, but it only closed at 1.0810. I instantly lost 400 pips and 3,800 Malaysian ringgit. Three Malaysian friends have been scammed. One had 80,000 Malaysian ringgit in his account frozen, claiming it was "suspected of illegal trading," without even providing any evidence. Don't touch this scam, this rubbish platform. Once you put your

I experienced severe slippage with cmc markets. The losses are so much that my account got blown. All my stoploss were hit because of negative balances caused by the slippage. If you must use cmc, don't trade high volatility assets with like XAU. Better still avoid using them. This broker is very shady imo.

I feel it is my duty to share my experience so that others do not fall into the same trap I did with Skyline Trading and their representative Alex. On 27 August 2025, Alex from Skyline Trading contacted me and strongly persuaded me to place a trade in natural gas, despite my initial intention to only complete a fund transfer later in the day. Trusting his advice, I executed the trade. Within seconds, my account balance dropped by –USD 4,000 due to what he later called a “high spread.” In shock, I immediately contacted Alex. Instead of taking responsibility, he told me to place another order (a buy option). After following his instructions, my account balance showed a further –USD 700 loss. Please dont get in ther trap

Penurunan leverage yang tiba-tiba menyebabkan margin call, ditambah kerugian dari perdagangan produk pertanian di Medan. Penurunan leverage yang tiba-tiba dari Deriv menghabiskan 72 juta rupiah saya. Mereka mengiklankan "leverage hingga 1:500," tetapi saya sedang long USD/IDR di 1:200. Saya mempertahankan posisi saya hingga tengah malam, dan tiba-tiba menerima email yang mengatakan "leverage disesuaikan menjadi 1:50." Posisi saya terpaksa ditutup karena slippage 65 pip, mengakibatkan kerugian sebesar 4,55 juta rupiah. Selama 20 hari terakhir, saya telah kehilangan uang dalam lima perdagangan karena perubahan leverage yang tiba-tiba, dengan total 38 juta rupiah. Deriv adalah platform penipuan yang mengabaikan hak-hak pelanggan.

Sistem Headway yang macet membuat saya kehilangan 65 juta rupiah. Kamis lalu, saya memasang order beli USD/IDR di harga 15.320. Setelah mengklik konfirmasi, sistem macet selama delapan detik. Setelah pulih, sistem menunjukkan posisi perdagangan di harga 15.365. Itu berarti terjadi slippage 45 poin. Saya kehilangan 2,7 juta rupiah. Saya merekam layar dan menunjukkannya kepada layanan pelanggan, yang menjawab dengan bahasa Indonesia yang terbata-bata, "Koneksi Telkomsel Anda buruk." Sementara itu, perdagangan di platform lokal "BCA Forex" sangat stabil. Pemeriksaan di BAPPEBTI mengungkapkan bahwa Headway bahkan tidak terdaftar di Indonesia. Mereka hanya mengeksploitasi gangguan sistem untuk mencuri uang.

Hello, My name is Mohsen Shahvaladi, and I have been trading in the forex market for some time. I opened an account with Liyan Broker and deposited $1,400. After some trades, I made around $819 profit and successfully withdrew $800. However, when I later requested to withdraw another $500, my requests were repeatedly rejected without any clear explanation. Soon after, I received an email claiming that my Device ID matched a fraudulent individual, and on that basis, my account was completely closed. Since then, I have not even been able to log in to my account. The broker’s support team was very slow and unresponsive. They only replied once saying the issue would be escalated, but nothing has been resolved. It is completely unacceptable for a broker to accuse clients of fraud without evidence and block their access to their own funds. I strongly believe Liyan Broker is a scam. If you have funds with them, I highly recommend withdrawing as soon as possible. As proof, I have attache

This broker seems great at first, but I have one major complaint. I'm unable to withdraw the full amount of money I want from my account. I even contacted customer service, and they told me I could only withdraw small amounts at a time. I followed their instructions, but my withdrawal requests were still repeatedly declined.

The deposit bonus offered by this company is a complete rip-off. The spreads are so wide that the bonus money gets eaten up almost instantly. To make things worse, they can remove the bonus from your account without warning, even in the middle of a trade. This is exactly what happened to me; my account was blown up, and my balance went from $230 to $38 in a second. When I contacted customer service to find out why, they were deceptive and unhelpful.

When I lost money while trading with Headway, my account went into a negative balance. Headway advertises negative balance protection, so I was expecting my balance to be reset to zero, as is standard practice in the industry. Instead, they let me deposit more money, and then they used those new funds to cover my old negative balance. The way they handled this felt dishonest and misleading.

The Weltrade company had increased the spread for Gold, almost 1600 % from what it usually was and my account could not withstand. Moreover, Systemgates Ltd aka Weltrade is changing its registration every single year, from one offshore country to another. In 2016 it was Vanuatu, in 2017 it was Belize and in 2018 it is Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. I found out that Systemgates Ltd has no licence whatsoever to engage in forex trading since the Financial Services Authority does not issue a licence to a company engaging in forex. I have lost 56 000 USD and trying to get them back . The company refused to return the money after I lodged my complaint with it more than 10 times.

Everyone, be warned. KVB used the lie of "SC regulation" to trick me into depositing RM120,000, and now my account is frozen and I can't withdraw a single cent! Their salesperson used printed "SC registration screenshots" to sell me their account, claiming it was "safe and secure." I fell for it and deposited money into the EUR/MYR market. After only making a profit of RM16,000, my account was locked due to "abnormal trading patterns." Customer service said I needed to pay a 20% "risk margin" to unlock my account. I scraped together RM34,000 and paid it, but I still couldn't access my account. Others who were scammed like me have had as much as RM250,000 frozen. This unlicensed platform should be shut down by the Bank of Japan (BNM). Losing your entire principal due to inability to complete your mission is a clear attempt to legally plunder customer funds.

Headway's slippage always goes in the direction of losses, with an average slippage of 12 pips on profitable trades and never more than 2 pips on losing trades. If this isn't intentional, what is? Malaysian traders have exposed Headway's spread fraud. The platform uses unusual spreads on Southeast Asian currency pairs: the average spread on USD/MYR is 12 pips, and on EUR/MYR it's as high as 15 pips, which is 3-5 times the normal market spread. Even more outrageous is that during Malaysian public holidays, spreads can widen to 20-25 pips, clearly exploiting insufficient liquidity for malicious pricing. Headway should not be in Malaysia. Never trust this broker. If you have any funds, withdraw them immediately and stay away from them.

As a Malaysian trader, I'm extremely angry about WELTRADE's exploitative spread practices against Southeast Asian clients. The average spread on the platform's USD/MYR currency pair is a staggering 18 pips, compared to just 6-8 pips on other international platforms like Pepperstone. Worst of all, during the Malaysian stock market's opening hours (9:00-10:30 AM), spreads often suddenly widen to 25-30 pips, completely rendering my short-term trading strategies impossible to execute. My trading records show that I lost an additional 5,800 ringgit in March alone due to abnormal spreads. WELTRADE also charges Malaysian clients an additional "emerging market currency surcharge" of US$3 per lot traded, while spreads on platforms in Singapore and Australia during the same period are completely normal. This is systematic spread manipulation targeting Malaysian traders.

ความล่าช้าของข้อมูลตลาดของ WELTRADE สร้างความเดือดร้อนให้กับผมอย่างมาก ผมกำลังเทรด USD/MYR และเห็นราคาแพลตฟอร์มแสดงอยู่ที่ 4.73 แต่ตลาดกลับขึ้นไปถึง 4.76 แล้ว ความล่าช้าเพียง 30 วินาทีทำให้ผมขาดทุน 3,600 บาทตอนที่ผมวางคำสั่งซื้อ ผมตั้งจุดตัดขาดทุนไว้ที่ 4.68 สำหรับ EUR/MYR แต่ความล่าช้าของข้อมูลของแพลตฟอร์มทำให้ไม่สามารถดำเนินการได้ ผมรอจนกว่าราคาจะลดลงเหลือ 4.75 ก่อนที่จะปิดสถานะ ส่งผลให้ Slippage 70 จุดและขาดทุน 84,000 บาท แอปเทรดบนมือถือของ WELTRADE มีช่องโหว่ด้านความปลอดภัยที่ร้ายแรง แอปนี้ขอสิทธิ์การเข้าถึงข้อมูลผู้ติดต่อ กล้อง และข้อมูลตำแหน่ง ซึ่งไม่เกี่ยวข้องกับการซื้อขายเลย โบรกเกอร์รายนี้ไม่น่าเชื่อถืออย่างยิ่ง ควรหลีกเลี่ยง

I can't withdraw for almost 2 days now and what does this mean and I have been trading with the broker for long

I did a wire withdrawal on August 12th and today is the 17th and it still says pending and on the clearing stage. My understanding is that the wire withdrawal was suppose to be faster. I’m very confused and worried because that was 2.1k of my own money. Does anyone have any idea what’s going on???

"low spread" lie! They claim a "fixed spread of 4 pips on USD/JPY," but during actual trading hours (from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM local time), the spread reached up to 32 pips—nine times higher than Mumbai's platform! Last month, I traded in XAU/ USD (gold). When I placed the order, the spread showed 6 pips, but after the trade was completed, it became 21 pips.

I'm incredibly angry about your actions! During my time trading on this platform, l've been plagued by both slippage and margin calls, sinking into despair. Slippage haunts every trade like a ghost. In one GBP/JPY trade, the market was stable, but my order slipped by over 30 pips, resulting in significant losses from the outset. And when the market moved against me, the platform's malicious manipulation made me even more miserable.
