Original FPA Traders Court Submission:

I am submitting the case against: www.odmarkets.com/

My Case is: For the first time in the business, an FSP licensed broker offering 30 seconds trades (they call it gold options) claims abuse. ODMARKETS offers 30 seconds Gold Options. As usual, options close at a predefined time, however the difference here is the profit isn't predefined. It means that on a market run of 100 pips, you can win or loose 100 pips and you can do nothing about it. Yet, after being extremely successful, they claimed abuse based on their terms and conditions. Funny thing is, their terms and conditions do not have anything to say about that. I leave you with the verified statement http://www.fxblue.com/users/odg. FSP and NZ authorities have been contacted didn't reply for over a month leaving me no choice but to file an FPA case.
P.S: I had a forex account with them with nice results too but not that formidable, since gold is a true runner. That one is disabled also after 35 days of trading and claimed to be abuse. Please check attachment email1.pdf to see that they have reviewed the account and then emailed me that I can trade normally, only to disable it again and send me the email in the attachment email2.pdf.

Go ahead and invite them to your Scam Alerts thread.

Did that when I filed the case. Thanks Pharaoh. The weird thing is that the NZ regulator never bothered to answer for a whole month, which raises serious alerts about NZ regulation.
 
Did you file with the main regulator as well as the dispute resolution scheme?

I contacted FSP with no replies at all. I emailed them asking what's keeping a broker from changing their terms and conditions after the claim was filed. And once I filed the FPA case, I contacted the broker via the official contact form following the procedures mentioned on the FSPR website and I need to wait 30 days for the broker to respond.

They dont seem to have replied yet...

Why is it the regulators who are paid a lot of money to regulate, take retail clients complaints so lightly whereas FPA who do not have this take it so seriously, Id like to see FPA made regulators, then things might actually get done in the world! :)

Ill wait a bit longer, if they still dont reply im leaning towards guilty....
