I have seen fully verified accounts with unrealistic gains are they legit or are they somehow faking it
If you see accounts with None Verifiable/Regulated Brokers, Then it's fake.

Trader with regulated broker. Always check regulator website. Regulator regularly update scam broker list.

You need to look at the terms that are being offered and how effective they are.

Most of the time unregulated brokers are scammer. Customer review is also helpful to identify scammer.

Completely disagreed.
Scammers are everywhere but theres also good people who really want to help and make money.
I know few traders who just launch their system, after months working on it. They dont ask money from nobody, they dont charge any fees, they simply have a MAM account where people register on the broker and have total control of their money. The risk is super low because the guys dont risk as soon their money is also there.
So scammers are everywhere but not generalize.
Theres still few good people in this world. But for sure, even with this pandemic, the scammers are hunting.

If anyone promising you unrealistic profit percentage, he is a scammer. If anyone is really able to make 200%/300% in short time he will not need funds from Internet. Even If anyone is able to make 10% per month consistently, he would be millionaire in few years with few thousand bucks.

A scammer promise you 50% to 100%+ daily return if they are managing account. Stay away from them. If they are that much capable of making money they only need 100$ to be millionaire. Just use your logic to recognize them.

Professional4X posted:Thank you for such a detailed report. It helped me alot. Lately I as trading with a unregulated broker just to test the high leverages, everything was going smooth but gradually my trades started being manipulated, it was then when I realise that the broker I am trading with is using plugins. After that i never tried any unregulated broker.
They often show unrealistic gains with very little Draw Down.

Quite often a scammer will try to pass off a DEMO account as a LIVE account, but they will not be able to validate the account.
When pressed for the reason as to why they are unable to verify the account, they will typically use an excuse such as 'Oh I contacted myfxbook because there is a problem with their website....'
The more your practice, the more you learn.

You have to research the market properly to recognize the scammer.

is it true that a unregulated broker can be a scammer?

Even regulated brokers can sometimes be scammers. But at the end: yes, unregulated ones (or the ones who just say they're regulated) are most probably a scam.
A good broker has a strong investment bank behind it or a direct access to the markets (like prime of prime brokers or investment banks) and also have a good banking regulation (not only for forex, but also for all the other financial services in the market). A banking insurance and well-known name with a good long-term reputation is a plus.
patience is the key

There is a high possibility that maximum of the unregulated brokers are often scammers. You need to choose a broker wisely. The best is before investing huge capital review the broker critically on various forums and get in touch with traders who invested in that broker. Check if they have trader friendly withdrawal and deposit policies etc. These factors certainly clarify if your broker is a scammer.
The more your practice, the more you learn.

You just go with higher lot-sizes then. For example, instead of '1lot for every 100k account size' (at 1:500 max account leverage), you go with '1lot for every 10k account size' (at 1:50 max account leverage). 😉
But there are also regulated offshore-brokers out there, where you can still use higher leverages (e.g. 1:200, 1:500). You just need to check out if they are reliable on long terms/conditions. I also use 3 offshore-regulated and only 1 EU-/ESMA-regulated one.

Yes but there is a reason for that, although not everybody agrees with leverage restriction regulations, high leverage is very risky.

Many scams in the forex market are no longer as pervasive due to tighter regulations, but some problems still exist.
One shady practice is when forex brokers offer wide bid-ask spreads on certain currency pairs, making it more difficult to earn profits on trades.
Be careful of any offshore, unregulated broker.
Individuals and companies that market systems—like signal sellers or robot trading—sometimes sell products that are not tested and do not yield profitable results.
If the forex broker is commingling funds or limiting customer withdrawals, it could be an indicator that something fishy is going on.
