    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.

    More info coming soon.

There is no such a legal matter that will authorise broker to take client founds from account. This response may be good for someone unexperienced on forex market not for somebody who is 15 years on the market and part - qualified CFA. This guys can tell such a stories to kids in the kindergarden that trades with short duration are market abusive. I done an entry trade and they accepted it, as well as I close trade it has also been acepted.
They also not telling that they do not offer a tool to monitor a trade duration as well as they not telling that number of my all trades with short duration are about 1/5 of all I done during 1,5 year .
I have sent this matter to CySec and will also sent to Cyprus FOS. Next step will be to choose a legal support and take Plus500 to Cyprus Court.

The main thing is: opening and closing trades with short duration IS NOT A SCALPING - plus500 have implemented only a part of definition and is catching their clients in the trap - I guess they never seen a real scalping as 5 years ago scalping duration was 15 minutes, than some time later it was 5 minutes now its 2 mins. So I wonder whats gonna be next year???

And funny thing in response "Any trader suspected of employing such a strategy on our platform will have their trading account immediately terminated and all abusive trading transactions will be made void" - so in my case immediate effect took 1,5 year - what a f...g bull...t.
Simply they calculated how much money I've earned and as they could not retrieve it basing on last month or two they trying to tell me that everything from the beginning went wrong. Ohh and I should be greatfull that they "allow me" to keep part of profits achieved by so called scalping - this is another bull..t - as they simply couldnt take more than I had on account - fortunatelly and good for me.

@merc129 you have some good evidence gathered with a timeline. So this helps a lot.

are you sure your account is with Plus500 cyprus division or UK division?

Or Australian division? It would affect which regulatory body to complain to. And also the speed of the resolution.

Although CySec has improved considerably over last 3 years, they wouldn't be my first choice. Their handling of IronFx was disgraceful.

Do CySec/Cy FoS still charge EUR 20 to investigate a FOS claim?
 
@4evermaat
1) I've got all the evidence ready to sent, which is my account history, account reviews, correspondence and also screenshots with possitions time opened/closed (showing incomplete trade duration)

2) Yes this is Plus500CY, you can also see this on correspondence enclosed - Final Response directs me to Cyprus FOS

3) Yes FOS still charges 20 EUR for investogation

I just want to confirm where you opened acct. Sometimes clients open account thinking it is in one country, but it is actually in a different country (usually offshore).

Doesnt hurt to check acct opening emails/documentation.

Tsss....what they don’t tell you Cy FOS has no restitution power (better check latest updates, so no surprise )

https://www.ombudsman.europa.eu/fr/decision/en/95593

in event of positive outcome, you will still depend on company’s good will, otherwise have the decision enforced by Cy Court… a never ending costly story….in fact a true idiot Trap.

However you can take them straight to any EU Court, where Judges have quite a different vision in concern of those fancy T/C they keep inventing o_O
 
Merc129, How much of your own real actual money have you deposited and how much have you been able to withdraw over the last 1.5yrs?
How much of the $25,000 is your real deposited money and how much of it is profit from trades???
Just out of interest - thanks.
