    Discuss is for general discussions of a financial company or issues related to companies.

    Info is for things like "Has anyone heard of Company X?" or "Is Company X legit or not?"

    Compare is for things like "Which of these 2 (or more) companies is best?"

    Searching is for things like "Help me pick a broker" or "What's the best VPS out there for trading?"

    Problem is for reporting an issue with a company. Please don't just scream "CompanyX is a scam!" It is much more useful to say "I can't withdraw my money from Company X" or "Company Y is not honoring their refund guarantee" in the subject line.
    Keep Problem discussions civil and lay out the facts of your case. Your goal should be to get your problem resolved or reported to the regulators, not to see how many insults you can put into the thread.

Summary:
I had a balance of $20,253.14 after closing an order with a profit of $10,253.14. I requested a withdrawal of $13,253 via Neteller, but it was declined due to the need for additional KYC verification. After verifying my account, I successfully withdrew the amount, but a subsequent withdrawal of $7,000 was declined, and my account was blocked. OCTA FX claimed I breached trading conditions without providing a reason, and they have not returned my remaining balance of $7,000.14 despite my explanation that my profit came from GBP/JPY and USD/JPY, and no trading conditions were breached.

@OctaFX Rep, can we have your attention here, please?
 
what was your trading strategy? How many time was the order opened?
I use a short-term trading profit strategy. These orders were opened for the first time after I deposited funds, specifically on 10 July 2024. I closed the orders on 11 July 2024, achieving a profit due to the rapid price movements in the GBP/JPY and USD/JPY currency pairs.

You are just like my case. I opened position on July,3 to sell USDJPY for 5 standard lots then closed. it all on July, 17 which make me profit 15,615 USD. They accused me for misusing swap-free feature and withheld all my profit. Still to date, I have not received my profit back.

Why does forexpeacearmy.com put OctaFX as top ad intentionally? Is OctaFX trustworthy?

I worry if OctaFX swap-free is scam. I worry if I win big money after short USDJPY, OctaFX will probably say I abused their swap-free system.

I’m really sorry to hear that you're facing a similar issue with OctaFX. It’s frustrating when a platform accuses you of breaching conditions without clear evidence, especially after earning your profit through legitimate trading. I explained to them that my profits were from GBP/JPY and USD/JPY trades and that no trading conditions were breached. Unfortunately, my account remains blocked, and I haven’t received my remaining balance either.

The swap-free feature seems to be a point of contention, especially if you’re making significant profits, even when opening an order for just one day, as in my case.
