I ended up voting guilty but only after a careful review of all comments and the documentation contained in the scam alerts folder referenced by Pharoah. In my opinion, there was no clear justification for freezing the funds and the letter smelled pretty bad. To me the leverage was not the...

Gold analysis is great for correlation with other pairs. In an ideal world, I would like to see all the majors covered plus the major crosses like EURJPY and GBPJPY. If only one pair could be added, it would be nice to have a pair that involves neither the Euro or USD. Often analysis on...

Tayto, the half day workshop is OTA's marketing vehicle. Typically, students take 5 to 6 days of training for an asset class. Other than the "Pro Trader's" course, hands-on exercises and training is pretty limited. They also have extended learning tracks which last for weeks. The issue I...

I bought the diamond package based upon assertions that the education received would be at a graduate level. It was not even close with much of the same material being rehashed between various asset classes. I have taken every single class with them and will not be taking retakes. While...

"Client warrants that he shall avoid from posting any information, opinion, post etc. with respect to the Company over the Internet, and as far as he has the ability to, will delete or remove past posts with respect to the Company. " This definitely seems fishy to me and smells of intimidation...

The one snapshot of a trade is one where the margin requirement is clearly not 200 to 1. However, the margin percentage is 286.98%; nowhere near being stopped out. I also see a snapshot of a chat with a representative stating the leverage is 200 to 1 on all currencies. I assume Ahmed is...

This looks really bad! The service agreement allows the brokerage to commit outright theft!!! Not only does this brokerage state in their service agreement that they don't allow scalping. They also have a statement that does not allow market timing!!!! Their definition of market timing...

This is not like the other case Rajiv's that involved news trading. The times on the transactions show hours and not minutes. I find it HIGHLY disturbing when look at statement 882085. It would be helpful to have the server/GMT times. The first set of trades appear to have been hit at the...

Having read through the entire terms of use, there is no doubt in my mind that this broker is a scammer. However, the terms of use (which are clearly unreasonable) do govern the contract I assume under the laws of Russia in this case. While shocking the following questions should be asked to...

The customer service representative stated "To withdraw your deposit bonus you have to reach the balance of 200 USD." Clearly, there was a balance in the account of over $200. GUILTY!
