MX Trade : Not returning Customer funds.

Issue escalated to Traders Court mithunkumarjain vs mxtrade.com | GUILTY
I started with MXTrade.com on in mid Aug-2016. My MT4 account id is : 8080714. On 4th Sep, Sunday, when market is closed, and all my open trades and pending trades got closed. When I asked MXTrade how can my trades get close on Sunday when market closed, they did not have any answer. So I decided to quite and withdraw my money. I raised a fund withdrawal request on their website and emailed MXTrade many times. They are not returning my money and not responding my emails. Be away from MX Trade. Along with me I personally know 2 more customers of MXTrade who are suffering from same issue. If you want detail of those customer please contact me I can share those with you. I don't want any one to suffer from MX Trade.
At this point of time, MX trade is not FCA regulated and MX trade licence is registered in Belize which is a small country in eastern coast of Central America. It doesn't have any value.

They do not paid me my affiliate commission over 180,000$ and they do not paid my customers, too, when they asked cash out of the profits.

I have been a client of the company since around 22nd July 2015. I worked with Mr Korg Haynes who was assigned to me as my broker when I joined the company. I worked under the advisement and direction of Mr Haynes in a manner that was at all times, to my knowledge, within the bounds of the mxtrade's rules and regulations.

Two and a half weeks ago (around 22 October 2015) my account was disabled - I have not able to log into my account from my mobile device or desktop application since. I inquired about the matter with my broker and he advised me not to worry since my account was being moved to VIP and that Mr Michael Richardson would contact me on 23 October 2015, and later rescheduled to 26 October 2015. I was never contacted by Mr Richardson but by Mr Gavin Andersen (on 27 October 2015): he informed me that my account was in trouble and that he would help me "fix it". The brief that Mr Andersen gave was that Mr Haynes had made some fraudulent bonus deposits (to the value of $21 000) into my account, these deposits were made to save my account but nonetheless were against regulations and that I needed to pay the money for those deposits - if I did not pay the money my account would be closed and the company would take all my profits and capital investments.

I inquired further about the deposits to understand exactly what Mr Andersen was talking about. The outcome of my inquiry is that I am aware of those deposits and I explained to Mr Andersen that I had asked Mr Haynes about the context of the deposits at the time they were made: Mr Haynes informed me on one occasion that the deposit was a bonus from the finance department to help us trade - the company made profits when I made profits and they extended the bonus to further this cause. On another occasion I logged into my account and found a $10 000 deposit and I inquired about it, Mr Haynes informed me that he had requested it the night before, it was a bonus from finance that they would deduct from my account at a later stage. On a third occasion Mr Haynes informed me that if deposited and extra $500 over and above a $1000 deposit I had already made then I would qualify for a $3000 bonus from finance. I had screen shots of these Skype conversations and I shared with Mr Andersen. I addition to this, I had requested information from Mr Haynes in order to understand margin level requirements and the point at which a margin call would occur on my account, as well automatic closure of positions and accounts. Mr Haynes informed me that my account was far from a margin call and that I would only need to worry when my margin level was near 25% because that is automatic account closure.

After going through the information I provided, Mr Andersen contacted me on 28 October 2015 to inform me that the actual amount due for the fraudulent bonus deposits is now $12 000. In conversation with Mr Andersen I expressed concern that at the time my account was disabled there were open positions and that something should be done to safeguard my account while the mxtrade was still investigating the issue - it seems this point is being used as leverage to urge me pay back the deposits before my positions turned negative.

I did not disagree with Mr Andersen that someone needs to pay back the deposits, however I disputed that I should be held liable for my broker having made illegal deposits on my account and misrepresenting the company. Mr Andersen insisted that no one but me is responsible for raising the money, reason being: the deposit was made to save my account, but how so if my account was never close to a margin call as indicated by my broker, but if indeed levels did reach those in line with requirements for a margin call, I was still denied the opportunity to make an informed decision on whether to close certain positions before they reached critical levels because of the false information that was presented to me regarding the company's margin level requirements. Mr Andersen did not accept my argument and informed me that if I do not raise the deposit my account will be closed, the results of which is that I will loose everything.

I asked for further information about the fraud incident report and what justification the mxtrade has given for holding me liable for damages instead of my broker. After a lengthy discussion with Mr Andersen around the above-mentioned points I explained to him that I want to find an amicable solution even if it means paying back the deposit but I needed a formal communication regarding the incident to acknowledge the wrong doing and also provide a reasonable justification of why I would be paying. Mr Andersen told me he would see what he could do. On the evening of 28th October 2015 I received a credit agreement form in my email inbox for me to sign and Mr Andersen gave me a call shortly after to talk about the agreement - I told Mr Anderson that I was not happy with this since it was a standard credit agreement that made it look like I had knowingly asked for the deposit and there was no acknowledgement from the company regarding the incident nor any information regarding the circumstances surrounding the issue. Mr Andersen's response was to revert to the fact that my account will be closed if I did not pay the account and that he had done his best to help me. In a follow up discussion the next day on 29th October 2015 I told Mr Andersen that I would like to speak to some-one who would assess the issue based on its merits instead of trying to cover up the fact that there was misconduct, negligence and misrepresentation of important policy information on the part of the company - Mr Andersen told me that someone would contact me.

After several follow up emails to the company's legal and customer service department, I was finally contacted by an mxtrade employee from the finance department by the name Max Daniels on 9th November 2015. Max and I spoke extensively and I explained my experience but essentially he held the same view as Mr Andersen. After some time going back and forth with Max, I communicated my dissatisfaction in how the matter was handled and asked Max what options I had. Max said he would speak to his superior and he gave me call after about 20 minutes or so - the final outcome is that I now have $10 000 due for the fraudulent deposit on my account: if I make a 10% deposit I can gain access to my account and I will be granted a credit agreement where the remaining $9000 must be paid back by me within 30 days. My conversation ended on this note as it was late in the day. We spoke again the next on 10th September 2015; Max asked me if I had thought about the deal and if I had made a decision. I told Max that the deal did not seem appropriate to the circumstances and I could not commit to its terms. Max told me that I did have the option not to sign a credit agreement and that I could start making small deposits into my account which he could use as evidence that I want to fix the matter and assist in stopping further action being taken to close my account. These terms do not seem fair and could further exacerbate the situation that I am in.

Total scammers... I have a lot of proof.

They tell you a lot of beautifull things until you deposit, then everything change and you lose your money.

For example they told me they will give me the commision fees back until i deposit, then i lost all my money only for commisions, nothing about markets. The commisions was more than my total balance only in one trade.

Then i claim for my commisions back as they primised me and nothing... i have been scammed and i have proofs.

I highly recommend MxTrade.com for their services. I have been their client for a while and they have expert brokers that is assisting me and making sure that I do the right thing.

The broker is always giving me an updates on what is going on in the market. He is one of the reason why I am a successful online trader right now, but of course, we can’t earn if we are not willing to invest something.

Another good thing is I can easily contact them because they have chat support, phone support and even have mail support.
I am happy Mxtrade trader and looking forward on my next withdrawal!

Absolute disgrace they are total scammers ,they disable your platform so you cannot close trades ,put me in minus on 2x large trades because they said no dont need a stop loss.!!
once you are locked in they want more and more money to increase the margin has they say ---- this is just to fleece you of more money.
They put you in trades with large spreads and you nearly always end up in the minus but hey come on increase the margin and we will bankrupt you some more .
