Land FX review: Regulations, Platforms, Trading Instruments and Broker Ratings.

Get out of Land-FX now before it's too late.

I requested a small withdrawal via Skrill and this was declined. Land-FX said I'd already withdrawn more than my initial deposit which was not true.

I then requested a withdrawal via bank transfer. Again, this was declined with the broker saying that they don't wire to my country.

I began to get suspicious and asked questions. Land-FX stopped responding to me, disabled my MT4 account and locked me out of my own client area.

Two weeks passed and Land-FX proceeded to cancel all my profits (over $12,000). Land-FX then demanded I sign a document agreeing to the cancellation of profits in order to retrieve my original deposit back. I had no choice but to sign the document in order to have my deposit returned.

In all my years as a trader this is the biggest scam broker I have ever come across. Do not take the risk with Land-FX, they are cancelling profits and not honouring withdrawals.

do not process the withdrawal request
do not reply to emails
seems they are experiencing some financial difficulties or even scam
the execution was awful for the past months, so got many losses there and decided to make a withdrawal

When they siad i was crazy for using a forex broker to short crypto us equities, they said i was crazy for two reasons:

1. Market won't go down in 2022
2. Forex brokers don't let you short equities and crypto

With a help of land-fx, now, i have a big sime (and a considerate amount on a bank account) after btoh bets paid out just fine.

Big thanks to the team of land-fx to. help me gor through a relatively steap learning curve with MetaTrader platform. The funding and withdrawal took a bit longer than my nerves would prefer to, but what matters is that at the end of the day the returns are secured. Now off to find another trade!

They are running a thing called Portfolio ECS via this broker, made 25% in three month this year, I know if you compare it to to Year to Date BTC growth, It may seem as not so much, but I didn't have to lift a finger, not to mention store my own btc or do any other heavy lifting for this matter, just finance the account and I am ready to go.

Land-FX is real cuties when it comes to customer care and onboarding process. Big respect for helping me stick the landing, with the funding of the account, German bank can be very pedantic and archaic, but the broker seems to have enough German clients to have learned the ways of dealing with that "obstacles".

Who would have guessed that a broker from China would let me open a margin short position and pay out the profit the same day via Tether withdrawal. Many bloody fools must have gone done for a broker to let me do this so easily. More respect and certanty to their dealing desk though.

What's next? Tesla short?

Big respect to the Land-FX. Onboarding is swift, and account funding is even better!

Profit equivalent to 500,000 yen or more will be cancelled.

I wasted time and effort.

Land-FX is probably the most underrated broker around. Without flashy designs and simple product offering one might forget, that what make a good forex broker is not the looks, but the it's gut, and according to my high frequency EA strategy (wasn't executable with so many fx providers that i lost count) , the broker is a real deal.

This might be my last public fx-related publication. Through sick and thin i have been piling the experience, but now, after another "god-knows-why-the-market-does-it-to-me" episode, I hanging the rope and leaving this review as a fiarwell to Mark from Land-fx - you tolerated my petulant ass for so long, i hope they at least give you bronus from my losses :)

On a more serious note, Land-fx has been a much better broker than I a trader.

Georgia's not a big market, so you won't see a lot of big brokers in this market, that's why it's especially good to have a great discount broker that can offer regulated access to the markets, without compromising on nearly impossible KYC or extra trading fees.

Using land-fx mostly for their money management services, and find that type of investment, by far, the best option in Georgia.

The company does a very good job communicating the core competencies to it's clients. For once, when they reached me out, i had a perfectly happy relationship with my broker at the time. Yet, after a brief convo with their sales, i'v realised that i would be over 1.5k in trading fees given the projected volumes.

How do they do it? Lower spreads, d/w method that don't eat out % of the transaction. Power to discount brokers, what can i say :)

I was looking for a broker that still offers stop outs under 100%, wasnt sure it was still a thing in a regulated environment until i’v discovered landfx.

Their spreads could be better for exotic pairs, but having your cake and eating it too, is certainly not about forex.

Besides thar, i am really happy with this broker and suggest it to everyone looking to trade micro lots.

Albeit the lack of spread trading (0 tax), Land-FX is cheap in comparison to other UK-regulated entities.

I am actively trading a Martin-Gale EA and another scalping strategy that makes the cost of spread (on majors) absolutely essential. The total amount i save on monthly basis with land-fx is approaching a 5% per month in comparison to bigger EU players.

I am not sure about other trading methods, but If you are in for high-frequency trading, I suggest you take a check this chain out.

Not sure why non-regulated brokers have such a freedom down here in Africa. Discovering land-fx via ECS (Pamm managers from Estonia, Europe) is the first time in over 3 years of forex trading, that i can consider investing more than pocket money into this brokerage and their subsequent Automated Trading Systmes (the call them EAs).

As a non-professional, I don't care that much about the spreads and trading fees as I do about being able to withdraw profit. But my friends are saying Landfx doesnt' charge much.

Will be updating the review as soon as i finish the first year of trading with them in March.

Nothing less of spectacular in a way land-fx conducts their business in my region. I'v tried several premium brokerages, and ended up with their less regulated entities that provide really little protection at the prices of the service Germans get it.

At land-fx you know what you are paying for, the spreads on forex majors are minimal; the broker is clearly keeping some of the orders on b-book - which is fine by me as long as they pay, then there's a comfortable account funding and no annoying emails pushing you to trade more five days week around the clock.

Overall, if you are looking for a descent discount broker that won't evaporate the next time any relatively strong wind blows, you'v got Land-FX ready to tak you up on it's promises.

Despite the luggy PAMM interface, i eventually made sense of the basic principle to be able to follow some of the strategies with "gambling" part of the deposit.

Still can't wrap my head around which traders to trust exactly, but at least there's no luck of thereof.

Land-fx banks location doesn't actually make it unprofitable to keep the money in deposit, so don't rush catching to golden goose with the money managers, land's are not too greedy with the spreads to trade yourself (if you have a vision or technique, preferably both actually).

Despite quite an aggressive bonus on deposits and leverage of up to x1000, the lands didn't budge when the volatility increased even further back in mid-june.

I am happy there's still place in FX, when you are not bothered by obnoxious regulators , meanwhile still feeling relatively safe to keep going.

2020 is probably the best year for making it with trading, even if for the pure luck, which i wish everyone who decide this type of life.

The latest wave of regulation made forex a bit of a sour competition.

But there's rarely a now walk-around, now is there? :). Don't get me wrong the impression land-fx makes is far from "walkaround" type of a business. If not only the world we live in..

I believe it was a temporary issue with intermediary bank during COVID as card and sticpay withdrawals were processed smoothly during the same time. So everything's in order after all, keep up the good work and Wena has been very helpful!

Mar 18, 2020 - No Rating I am a customer at LandFx for many years now and I have always been pleased by their level of service. I do not wish to give a rating as the issue is still ongoing, but since the beginning of the crisis, their bank wire withdrawals do not reach my bank account anymore. They are still processing the credit card refunds, but not the bank wire withdrawals. I hope this resolves quickly and that it is not a liquidity issue on their side. I will keep the community posted about this issue

According to my rough calculation, trading 30 lots a month could save you up to 7% on trading expenses, should you consider a good discount broker (which i believe land-fx is) over a wanna be big boy and offer etfs and stock prime brokerage that will squeeze on things like financing fees and commissions on prime of the prime ECN technologies (often times still wrapped in a inferior mt4)

You broker's really tested, when things don't go as planned. The stories i hear from fellow traders - stuck in a trade for the broker going silent, after, apparently, bankrupting itself over WTI, are horrendous.

One knows what she's getting onself into when choosing forex though. So far Land-FX hasn't shown a sign of strain over what looks like a very tough period for humanity.

I'm grateful to have this respite from the madness. Never have i though to fined solace in trading, yet here i am ruminating out loud about it :)

The guys at land-fx saved my posterior. After my oil order led the account into a negative territory i was left wondering if an Asian broker would try and get some of the money i theoretically still owed them. To my surprise and subsequent admiration for the broker, the didn't. Should I ever return to trading, Land-FX will be the first stop. Thanks again folks!

I deposited 500,000 yen and made a swing trade with this FX company.
And when I tried to withdraw money because it was about 1.5 million yen, all the profits were canceled.

I was told it was a bonus arbitrage, but I didn't do that.
But they just said, "It's in the terms and conditions that we don't have to prove it.

They won't prove anything and they are the worst contractor.


Japanese translate
このFX業者にて５０万円をDepositして、スイングトレードを行いました。
そして150万円くらいになったので出金をしようとすると、利益を全部取り消されました。

ボーナスアービトラージと言われましたが、そんな事はしていません。
でも彼らは、「我々はそれを証明する必要はないと利用規約に書いてある」と言うだけでした。

何も証明してくれないし、最悪の業者です。

The time's crazy, but as bad as it may sound, it's one of the best times to make money on the market.

Land-fx's been sticking to it's part of a commitment, providing a sharp execution (ECN account) and not delays with withdrawals.

Planning to ride the markets till we are through, and wish you all good luck - esp land-fx, as i depend on them keep processing my withdrawals.

In trading, occasional defeats are inevitable, they come in different shapes, may defy you or make stronger - I will never forget the sound advise Land-FX account manager gave me, after i saw my account going from x3 in two weeks to needing a negative balance protection policy.

Years has passed and trading have become the biggest contributor to my household budget (first being my wife's prudence).

The company that attracts good people and offers what's advertise deserves a good feedback - so here comes my appreciation for being just that.

if you want to not ever get your money back you can donate it to this broker if you don't believe try depositing a small amount of money and see if you will get it back

Endless thanks to mr JD of land-fx to personally contact my bank and make a clear case on the distinction between fx and binary options to finally get my wire transfer to go through.

Looking forward to the time when Indonesian brokers catch up with rest of the world in terms of financial literacy.

For now, god bless the people like those in charge of Land-FX for having enough words to talk sense to centuries old bureaucrats.

Genuinely pleased with land-fx atm, despite the lack of a pleasant interface and some in your face grammatical mistakes on the website, their trading conditions and customer relationship management are of a premium broker quality.

Advise land-fx to everyone, who's looking for a cheap way to trade majors with flexible leverage and small interest rates on the money your borrow for trading. Long-term traders should consult with the sales team before settling on the exact conditions.

If you ask around, the best way to trade over 1:30, without running into extra risks in a "broker department", you can either rely on a EU company to find it's way around and give you up, if they get pressed, or you can find a firm that's not bothered by the EU market (and presumably licensing there), but runs volumes, EU companies can't possibly pull off in such a rigid, and over-regulated eu environment (EU, I Love it, but your know, it's true).

For me it's pretty straightforward, and land-fx is a hero in snatching EU clients, i'm pretty sure my account managers was hired to talk european english to me, just recently :)

I'v stumbled upon land-fx at the mids of testing another one of my EAs ideas. Their spread seemed low enough for my strategy at the time (it failed). Eventually, i gave up on building an ea , probably not smart enough for it anyway, but stayed with the land-fx, for the great account management i received over that period (and off course the extremely low fees and fca protection with 1:500 leverage)

pro tip: as someone mentioned here below, welcome back bonus is totally the thing, just don't expect to be able to withdraw it easily (basically an extra leverage).

Good luck!

That time of the year, the money to be made :)

I don't know what sort of woodo stuff Land-fx are pulling out of their sleeve (b-book magic, i guess), but adding funds to my account based on just proof of a wire (no way could have arrived from Ukraine to Belize in under 4h) helped me make a descent amount in shorting the son a of a dog USD.

The five stars as a token of gratitude for taking a risk for your clients.

Don't you miss the good old days of financial deregulation? Negative balance protection (FCA) + leverage x500 is the tools you need these days to bet against the market.

Pardon my fatalism, but Land-FX, for whatever it's worth, is great companion to screw up the market to enrich yourself while on the way down to planetary extinction.

Sep 12, 2016 - 5 Stars Despite this section review scaring the goose bumps from me, I tried to withdraw funds and, to my relief, the first deposit went smooth and as promised within 2 working days (maybe i just got lucky).

Returning a favour to Land-FX team and letting everyone know that over the last 4 month of trading i encountered 0 issue with the company. Maybe it has something to do with holding a VIP account type and being registered under FCA UK branch, but as long as my trading is not interrupted the moderate 1:200 leverage i use works perfect for camarila strategy with high risk aversion. Still working out my minimum trading requirement to fully withdraw the bonus on deposit i received, but as long as i used it for additional margin - not in a rush to withdraw it.

Now, how do you thank the business capable of accepting a loss of profit in favour of a basic human decency?

The guys from support were able to accept the remote order cancelation i couldn't communicate at a time, due to power shortage in my area.

The cancelation of a pending order was in the order book, so luckily, when i returned online, the order did execute (i could have lost over 5k) was online, with an error: "no internet connection" .

I expected my query to be dead on arrival, but apparently, proof of connection issue in the neighborhood (seems like telecom companies do rule the world) , and order book log, were enough to make the case.

I don't expect an a-book broker to pull something like that from their sleeve. You should be careful with bigger amounts though.

Using land-fx for trading gold, they are a decent company that still finds their way around ESMA (leverage striving bunch would understand). Thankful, for their help with "mambo-jumbo" without leverage, otherwise - for the lack of features could have easily be 3 stars :)

Good Broker and support team are very accommodating and helpful.

The webinar they conducted weekly led by Shadi is very informative and helpful.

Land FX is scammer! They disable my account without any inform. I trade in real-time, my hard work become useless. Atleast email whats the problem not automatically disable account. But i don't think i theres a problem in my trading, i didn't do illegal price is real-time.

Land-FX is a pretty decent broker. I never had a problem with any of my transactions with them. Great Customer support too! Keep it up!!

I've been with LAND FX for 6 months now and I am very happy with their service. Execution is brilliant- no requotes, and fast fills.

Spreads are great, not only on Majors. Slippage only happen during news but is the lowest I've ever seen till now.

I highly recommend to use their Fix Api and MT4 accounts it could be a huge difference but of course it depends on your trading style and strategy.

By far the best broker I have come across. Fast execution, great spread and a pleasure to work with.

Good luck all!

LANDFX is a good broker
If you refuse to withdraw money, maybe you are in violation of the LANDFX terms.
If the problem is solved, LANDFX will withdraw your money.

Dec 19, 2016 - 1 Star They canceled my profit over 15,000,000JPY.
They closed my account and they do not wiretransfer my deposit amount 2,500,000JPY.
they requested me to send written-oath that do not tell this issue to anybody ,if you told this issue to somebody,you will not withdraw.
I signed in writtenoath and send to them 2
month ago,but they do not wiretransfer my money.
They are SCAM.

Good broker, Transparency is their title, 24 hour support, FCA regulated, different accounts types that cover all needs, so i really recommend them for trading with.

thank you

I joined Land-Fx around 4 month ago, they have just received FCA at that time. Ever since I had plenty of their help in a form of trading tips and MT4 walkarounds. Their response is always fast and precise. Their Facebook analysis is always pre-fact, the account manager - Shadi is always updating the latest fundamental and technical analysis via their newsletters and social media updates. Happy to be trading with them so far.

The market has been incredibly good to me for the last couple of monthes and land-fx provided the neccessary service to harness its kindness.:)



Despite all the negative comments below i havent had reasons to doubt land-fx honesty after 4 month of trading with them, and, unlike some bigger companies, can vouch for their superb support and super-fast deposits/withdrawals.



I have an experience with going to FCA for help in resolving disputes with another broker (they paid me back so i wont mention their name), so even they try to play a trick I have certanty in being protected.



Other minor benefits of trading with land-fx are, negative balance protection and also they claimto keep clients funds fully segregated from their own.

Quico from Spain, Land-FX offers great personal offer bonus on deposit, FCA backup is what makes me confident in the company with it's negative balance protection policy and funds segregation.



Giving the favour back with the review for superb support response time and actionable solution to solve the problem with MT4 indicators for MT4.

My experience with Land-FX (Land Prime Ltd) is very bad. I gained a lot of money with my trading, but Land-FX would cancel my large profitable trades, claiming mine were not actual market prices and also hinting on price latency.

At the end, me and my lawyer won a case against Land-FX at the Financial Services Complaints Ltd. For more details either message me or take a look at my comment about this:

But spoiled execution. Execution - 450ms

2015-06-26 1Star This scammers!!!
They do not pay profit
My profit 2500usd
It company SCAM!!!

They canceled my profit.
I said that I made an unfair deal and canceled my profit.
They canceled my profit of 2,000 dollars.
They are SCAM.
Many Japanese investors should stop employing this broker.

I have been satisfied with LAND-FX so far, because I can enjoy their attractive low spread and fast processing. Their IB program seems nice as well.

2015-05-06 I opened an account since it's getting popular in Japan and countries in Asia. Seems like they offer a special deal to each market.
So far, I have enjoyed a very low spread trade with no commission through LAND-FX as well as their campaigns.
