ok, not bad

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
Good experience but as a beginner trader found the lot sizing a bit difficult, the spread is ok. they do have some signal service and autochartist software which is handy, overall, hit a bad trade and when the account was low, it was hard to get back up again for the lot size, however, no issues getting my money back that was left. Also, no problems with lagging or anything.

No Problems have taken Trading Acc UP x 6

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
I am an experienced Self Trader and have not had problems with LegacyFX. MY Broker is Martin Baker. I was concerned that they are regulated in Cyprus & Vanuatu but haven’t had problems. If you haven’t traded before, Trading is risky! 75% of traders lose money with any broker world wide! I have an Account with LegacyFX & another with IGIndex (who are FCA Regulated). I trade 10 lot sizes in Forex which for a private individual is quite big. The secret to trading is to generally go for 2:1 trades so if you open 10 trades with a stop loss of say 50 pips your max return would be 10x 100pips profit (1,000 pips) and max loss 500 pips. Get5 out of 10 right profit is 5x100=500pips on other 5 you lose 5x50pips=250pips Total profit 500–250pips=250pips 250 pips x $1 per pip = $250 profit. You only have to get HALF of trades right. It is ok to do trades with lower than 2:1 like 1.7:1 any lower than you have to get 6 or 7 trades out of 10 right. I am just signing up for their PAMM Account & if you have $5,000 or more (this set by me) you can copy my trades in your account. I do my own thing! Make my choices on trading and have withdrawn $15,000 of my profits without problem.

These people are unscrupulous fraudsters. KEEP WELL AWAY !

Service use: Live Length of use: 6-12 Months
These people entice you in by asking you to trust them as professional traders. I was coerced into investing, at first a small amount, then a larger sum until eventually I had sent them £400,000. In less than ten months the account was wiped out. They place trades without using any stop loss, and when the equity falls to critical levels they ask for more money to shore up the account. Once they have bled you dry, they allow the account to blow up, after which they tell you they are not responsible as you are the one who presses the button to initiate the trades.
I am in the process of contacting the Cyprus FCA, and financial ombudsman of Cyprus, to look into my case, and hopefully stop these people from trading, and scamming anyone else. Beware in the U.K.,as they also have a temporary licence to ply their trade in the U.K.,although I have also alerted the FCA in London of their modus operandi.

Dear A****,
Thank you for taking the time to post a review about LegacyFX.
LegacyFX is an established and trusted broker, while a trader may not be satisfied with the results of his/her own trading, that does not mean they were not treated fairly by the service provider. Trading forex does carry a high level of risk and the investor must be aware that they could either profit or lose their invested capital. The market does fluctuate and could become very volatile at times.
All trades are conducted according to our Terms and Conditions, which you signed and agreed to.
In case you need any further clarification , please contact us at Support@LegacyFX.com

Best Regards,
The Support Team.

Extremely Bad Experience with such amateurs

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
I will try to be as fair as possible. They are probably a legitimate company. I was able to deposit and withdraw without issues. My big issue is with their so called "Account Managers". Those people should not be in the financial markets, and should rather work in some grocery store. As shown in the below comments, and I also got driven with their interpretation of the market analysis, which was based on exactly the opposite direction. I am not saying they did it on purpose, but at least, they were guessing. Once you get held on a trade, they keep pushing you to add money since the market will end of moving in your direction. Offcourse you get dragged coz you sure dont wana lose your money, but you will end up losing the money + that additional money you added in the hope that this would save your account. The best part is... when you dont agree to add money and/or keep your losing trades running, they will start asking senior people (as they claim) to contact you. I used to get called from Joe (my account manager), and his senior called me, and then a 3rd guy, which as they claim, he is from the risk management team who specializes in account recovery... LOL... the point is.. they will keep trying to take as much as they can from you... and no matter how good their analyses sounds, I can assure you, out of all trades he advised me about, none worked!!!

Now the second bad thing about them is... there spreads are EXTREMELY high. Moreover, the minimum lots is very high as well compared to other competitors

When you ask about their bad review, they will tell you... even samsung and apple has bad reviews. Its funny how they link themselves to such huge companies. But I can assure you the bad reviews are not based on nothing. Those guys know how to manipulate facts to get you into wrong trades and/or maybe they are just guessing. Eventually, all those setups blew off my account.

Do not trust them

Service use: Live
After you lose all your money, they just blame it on the market.
All their trades has commission, they do not care if you lose or win.

Has been good

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
I have using legacyfx for 30 days now, Jason is my advisor and since Day one he told me small accounts are very risky, he told me on his call the lot size they use is 0.1 and explained the risks etc. I accepted it all, after one month I almost doubled my money and started with $4,700, I have not done withdrawals yet but I will do one tomorrow (Monday) to see how it goes. So far I am very pleased with the service, Jason is always responding to my messages and again very happy with the results.

What else you call scam if not this co.

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
I joined in via telegram account . I had been told I get a mentor and $250 is enough to trade with. I got Steven who was arrogant and from day 1 told me my capital (almost $470) is not worth his time. they earn commission on your loss or profit! He called everyday and asked for more capital as apparently my account wasn't worth his time. At the end he pushed me into a trade with no stop loss. my capital was gone in 8 days just bc it was waste of time for him. The Co. responded poorly apparently Steven is a biggest sales person. They don't trade with their money so be aware. if you have little capital you don't worth their platform and there is no customer protection. Don't ignore negative review as I did. This is for real. Unethical, scam conman they are. Their bank account also is in KUWAIT......

their real business is Not making Trader money but make money on Deposits of people.

Their Spread is way too high.
and
i can honelty tell you these guys have no clue what to do just words and words.

I end up adding 6 K more and Lost all my money.

Its my request dont put even signle penny in this company.
i will proper complaint to FCA as well.iGot all proofs with me .

I will make sure they loose their licence if they have any in UK.

for Withdrawal it will take u 10 days . forget about it. if any one wants to see their money last time please part of this company.
And i am not writing all this in anger but to save others from these scammers and idiots sitting there to make u end up in sitution to loose all or need to add money so they can make big chunk of commission on your deposit. as So Called Account manger makes 10% or more on our deposit.
