So guys, I am so curious and for so long wanted an answer once and for all for all the people out there in Malaysia that is doubting about whether or not earnings from Binary option trading and Forex are legal. As far as I know, there is no such law against Binary option right now, but hypothetically if someone was to earn a lot of money from Binary option and Forex, and let say if the bank/lhdn comes knocking, what should one do? Will the money consider as tax free overseas income? Or will be seen as capital that could not be tax? Or simply illegal "black money" if you will?

QUOTE(gamestotal @ Mar 18 2017, 02:27 AM) forex requires license. either money changer for hard cash or bank for electronic transfer / wire / TT. some like western union, money gram all have license. u can check on bank negara site , under forex license. if its not listen, its not licensed. NOW, bank negara regulates financial rules IN MALAYSIA. therefore almost all companies that does this locates their country outside of malaysia so bank negara cant catch them. this doesnt mean it is legal. on the topic on binary... better go to genting. higher chance of winning plus its ban in multiple other countries ( reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_option ) copied from wikipedia: On June 6, 2013, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission jointly issued an Investor Alert to warn about fraudulent promotional schemes involving binary options and binary options trading platforms. The two agencies said that they had received numerous complaints of fraud about binary options trading sites, "including refusal to credit customer accounts or reimburse funds to customers; identity theft; and manipulation of software to generate losing trades." Other binary options operations were violating requirements to register with regulators.[14] Hey Stephen, thanks for the quickest reply  , that answered mostly for the legal or not part but, regarding if someone really made money for a living from forex or binary option platform, will the lhdn and bank come question? It would be best if someone really had experience with this sorta things can come up here with smth.
