• Please try to select the correct prefix when making a new thread in this folder.

    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.

Problem Got cheated by Windsor Brokers

I am having an issue with a company

Myself, Aravinth from India. I opened a trading account (MT4 Account no: 5242029) with Windsor broker (windsorbrokers.com) and made my first deposit of $5800 on 03-07-2024. I placed two trades; I lost both the trades by hitting SL. Again, I deposited an amount of $19450 on 16-07-2024. Then I placed 3 trades and booked some profits and I placed a withdrawal request of $13675 on 23-07-2024 which got rejected after 5 days without any reason and no intimation.

I followed up with my Account Manager, Mr.Alokesh regarding this withdrawal, He told me that the company will return only my deposit amount and profit amount cannot be withdrawn, when I asked him the reason, He told that the profitable trades were wrong. When I asked him to clearly specify what was wrong in my trades, he did not give any proper clarification and asked me to mail to support@windsorbrokers.com. I followed them multiple times, but only got one reply mail that my account is under Investigation by the Compliance Team. After that they even disabled trading options for my account.

After a week, I got a mail from Compliance department that I can only withdraw my deposited amount $ 25,250 and profit of $323.69 and the rest profit amount of $7035.70 cannot be withdrawn claiming it as illegitimate profit under clause 6 ‘Abusive trading activity’ of their Client Account Agreement. My Account Manager also did not give any clarification, He asked me to withdraw the amount as mentioned in the mail. My profit amount of $7035.70 got debited from the trading account.

Further, I mailed them asking for clarification about the abusive practices, they replied after 4 days that I was engaged in the pattern of transaction which constitutes Gold Arbitrage. I am puzzled how they can call it as Arbitrage, I placed trades based on my swing trade predictions and set TP/SL which got closed by hitting TP or SL, What’s wrong with it ?

I’m utterly disappointed in their cheating behavior, Initial 2 trades were loss so they did not have any concern, once I made profit and requested withdrawal, they falsely accused me of Gold Arbitrage and Abusive trading technique and cancelled my profit. I’m totally taken aback by their dishonesty.

I have experienced a similar situation as you. I deposited a total of $131,000 into my account with this company over three transactions. Initially, I lost a significant amount through trading, but later, my trading activities increased my wallet balance to $160,000. However, every time I attempted to withdraw funds, my requests were repeatedly denied. Despite numerous contacts with both my account manager and customer service, their final response was that I am only allowed to withdraw $40,000! I find this unacceptable! I am currently in the process of appealing. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Hello Huang,

I have already mailed to the relevant regulation entity and they have mentioned that the case will be resolved within 3 months and waiting for their next reply. Windsor Broker is falsely accusing me of doing gold arbitrage but they have to prove it. Without anything they cannot accuse us and cancel the profit, this is clearly an cheating intention.

When did you experience this and did they give you any reasons ?

Dude, please choose to withdraw your capital, it's best for you. In my experience, the broker will be ready with all the evidence to cite you for trading violations. Never use such brokers, clearly Asia has better brokers eh

Hi mate, one interesting piece of news is that there are some small brokers, they have a very small amount of deposits in a month, so they are very sensitive to withdrawals. However, regarding the safety of your personal principal, I would suggest you choose to withdraw your principal. Securing your principal first is the key. Then, forget about this and choose a more friendly and larger broker in the future. In India, these options are plenty.
