UK FCA Issues Warning to Unlicensed FX Broker Global FX Trade

When a reckless investor sees a broker claiming to be licensed, it's simple to dismiss the question of regulation. Investors are especially vulnerable at this time since the regulatory information claimed by the fraudster may not be available on the websites of any Forex authorities. This kind of scammer is a brazen fraudster, such as Global FX Trade.

Get Rich Quickly？

At first glance, the website (https://global-fx-trade.com/) shows a customer called Jonathan Larson who claims to have made $10,000 overnight by trading on Global FX Trade. He also seems to be pushing traders to “emulate his success.”

Non-MT4/MT5

Unlike other forex brokers, Global FX Trade solely supplies investors with a platform called FITS, rather than a third-party platform (MT4 or MT5). It is not a good option for the customer, particularly if they are dealing with an unregulated broker.

Scammers do not always utilize third-party platforms because they like to have complete control over the platform so they may tamper with market data and commit fraud.

Regulated？ No!

Global FX Trade (also known as Global FX Trade Advisors Corporation) is a licensed broker under multiple regulations, including the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (UK FCA), the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (PFSA or KNF), and the Capital Markets Board of Turkey, according to its website (CMB). Aside from that, it claims to be a registered investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

We searched SEC but found no matching results. Furthermore, the National Futures Association, not the SEC, is the exclusive forex regulator in the United States (NFA). Nonetheless, there is no regulatory information on Global FX Trade in the NFA.

Samely, no results matched this broker in KNF or CMB.

Furthermore, the UK FCA has cautioned the public that Global FX Trade is an unlicensed broker.
