These are real theives/ If they found any investor make money, they put plugin to put delay in execution and loose all deposit + profit. If we ask the reason, the animals will reply it is normal exeuction slippage.

Very bad broker, Their main business is robbery, not forex

I have been trading with OctaFX for last 2 years and i have a wonderful time so far, as i mostly use their demo contest account like Champion. I have also even won the prize there for the 2nd place of 300 USD and their recently launch weekly contest cTrader is extra ordinary, as there are 400-500 USD to be won and hopefully i will win it again. They also have wonderful payment system where all my payments are given instantly, so i would really rate them high - 5/5!
YOus this Kitchen for demo guys like you))

Sorry mate, but i am not able to understand what you meant by guys like me. It is not that demo should be used by all and it is also obvious that it is way too boring, therefore why anyone not trade with such amazing contest if available without any joining fees. If i am not required to pay any fees for joining OctaFX's cTrader contest then i would love to join, as 400 USD is a huge amount for me and it is worth 1 month's salary, so it might not be so cool for you, but newbies like me are huge lovers of such contest.

 ban such EAs;

4.9. In exceptional cases short-term orders lasting less than 180
seconds can be cancelled should they be considered an abuse.

6.6 Margin Call and Stop Out levels may be increased during
news releases, periods of high market volatility, abnormal market
conditions and other irregular events.

4.8. Using arbitrage strategies on linked markets (e.g. currency
futures and spot currencies) is prohibited. In case the Client uses
arbitrage in either clear or hidden way, the Company reserves a
right to cancel such orders.

this broker manipulating prices, im a scalper very price sensitive. i could strongly feel they always slips 1 or 2 pips every close order. even the market is not volatility.

from their Customer Agreement

they pretty much not hoping you make money, so they are not true ECN. 100% pure dealing desk. and pure lies

Any comment regarding OctaFX broker? Can I trust it? Many thankz.

Do not trust these morons!

As long as I just make a profit with them everything was OK.

I was even allowed to withdraw like $30 via Skrill.

Today I made withdrawal $100 via Skrill and it was rejected for no reason, twice.
I got reply I should use bank account for withdrawal, while I deposit via Skrill
And in their own email where they request me to withdraw via bank account there is a sentence

Please note that you can only withdraw from your account by the same means that you used for depositing it

And I did deposit via CC. Of course I do not have any bank account connected to OctaFX

So be aware of this scum.



At the end I di withdrawal. The issue was the support was not able answer simple question why was my withdrawal rejected, why am I forced to withdraw to bank account, etc..
So OctaFx as broker seems to be OK.
OctaFx support sucks a lot

But... if you sent your money to FX broker registered in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, they probably correctly assumed that you don't need it anyway 😇
