Hi apathen,

We understand it's happened back in 2015.

The only reason is that they can create sure win trades (since they already know the market movement) to show investors how good they are.

Fastest Growing IB Program South East Asia 2016  = IGOFX
Best New Investment Platform Asia 2016 = IGOFX

Hi fairylord,

Do not trade with instaforex if you can. It doesnt carry good license nor giving any investors protection.

instaforex is one of the bad market makers who gave away 100% of their spreads rebate to IB and purely make money from losing clients money.

Hi J&J+Cs,

Forex4you is a NO.

Please provide us more information about MW Group.

Any myfxbook or live performance for all 3 funds? Are investors deposit funds to ADS Securities Abu Dhabi or UK?

We couldn't find much information on the web site.

mywealthgroup no track record. only state 10% to 20% per month.

forex4u is just for hit and run, many trader is not for long term.

Forex4you does not hold any top tier license, so it is not advisable. The main reason is no investors protection given since investors will have to deposit funds to them and plenty of question mark on the performance show on the copy trades.

Actually my question is.

Is the broker reliable, and i am not stating the trader of copy trading.
After all , we are here to discuss about the broker firm regulation and security.

Please reply only exactly to my question of concern and not mislead thank you.

If Forex4you is a no, Please provide details or any reliable source to state forex4you is a scam.

Thank you

How To Check Is the Forex Broker Genuine   Or Scam

What sort of trader would not like the assistance of a broker that he can rely on? Most new traders struggle to find a genuine forex broker who is transparent and provides a great forex trading experience. There are several reasons for this, but one of the major reasons is the mindset of the traders themselves. As most new traders are lured into the forex game through a fake forex broker as an easy way to make money, they have a wrong image about the forex market and hence do not know how to get long term success. Most of us know that forex is one of the most volatile markets in the world, and due to its floating nature, the prices of the currencies cannot be predicted. But the question of how to identify weather a forex broker is genuine or not depends on several factors. You can also check the various internet websites like forexstars and other to get reviews about the various forex brokers. Here are some ways how you can check the authenticity of a forex broker.
MAKE SURE THE FOREX BROKER IS WELL REGULATED
Only trade or invest with top tier licensed brokers/banks who are under tier 1 and 2 licenses for highest protection. For example, in the event of a Swiss broker/bank bankruptcy, traders and investors are given up to CHF100k capital protection.

Tier 1 licenses under: US NFA, UK FCA, SWISS FINMA, JAPAN FSA, SINGAPORE MAS.
Tier 2 licenses under: European financial regulators, Australia ASIC, Canada IIROC.

AVOID UNREGULATED BROKERS OR OFFSHORE REGULATED BROKERS (Vanuatu, Seychelles, St. Vincent, Belize, etc)

Traders and investors can check with their corresponding regulatory agencies that check the credibility of the forex brokers. They include the National Futures Association (NFA) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in the United States, Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) in the United Kingdom, Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC), Swiss Federal Banking Commission (SFBC) and FINMA, Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht (BaFIN) in Germany and Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) in France.
Analyze the Website
We all know that in this age of peerless internet technology, coming across fake content is totally possible and one must first check the website first for a clear picture of the reviews. Some websites are meant not for the viewers but an organization’s attempt at getting more affiliates. In such cases you have to judge for yourself whether the reviews are real or are posted through automated software to get more viewers.

Check the Comment Box
Some sites are highly moderated along with the viewer’s comments that appear on the website due to the fear of spam. If a website allows regular users to comment on their posts that is a great sign of openness. But if your comment doesn’t appear immediately on the website and is stuck in the moderation phase forever, you certainly do not want to waste a lot of time reading your reviews on such a website. Several times unanswered comment boxes also indicate the website’s poor activity.

Only Promote Genuine Reviews
There are several websites that post a review and also refer the viewer to a broker’s website as several broker’s pay the sites to promote themselves. While there is nothing wrong in referrals, the viewers must also use their full discretion when it comes to judging whether the reviews are genuine or not. Try to avoid websites that also provide a referral link in a review that also redirects the user to the broker’s webpage.

Transparency Is A Must
The best way to know whether your forex broker is a fake one or not, is to look for his list of clients. While several fake brokers might tell you that it is against the law to disclose such information, the reality is the total opposite and no genuine broker would be afraid to share the list of his clients. Genuine brokers use their network of traders more as their work portfolio and you can always judge the authenticity of a broker through the profiles of the various clients and traders that he deals with. More transparency in a broker’s activities will instill more faith in the clients.

Look At How The Broker Works
While this would be like judging a book from its cover, forex brokers can be judged based on how they deal with their clients. If the forex broker holds each client’s funds in a segregated account approved by the traders, then it is quiet likely that you’re working with a genuine broker. Make sure that the broker has a valid proof of operating under a government regulation.

Check the Broker’s Portfolio
After you have checked how the broker works and the long list of his client’s, you still need to see if the clients are earning regular profits or not. Doing a short background check on how the various traders are performing with a particular broker is one of the best ways to know a broker’s authenticity. Forex is a highly fluctuating market and to ensure profits one requires having a really keen eye and a really honest forex broker.

Forex trading is a risky business and requires a lot of experience and skills, to earn profits over a long term period. Hence it is highly important that the new traders must check the genuineness of a broker to experience a non-stressful forex trading environment.

If I not mistake, IronFX was very famous a couple years ago because of robot and copy trade trading.

Compared to non-regulated broker which can disappear and cannot be sued, IronFX is sued by government because cannot run away, even though case happened 3 years ago.

Two IronFX principals to be prosecuted in court by Chinese government today!...Failure to pay over $176 million in customer withdrawals globally...

Not really. They misused clients funds to pay IB partners as referral incentive up to 30% of deposit.
