Stay Away from Cmtrading if you don't want to end up with heart attack

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
I first saw their advert online sometimes around mid 2023, they started calling me, I was impressed with their customer representative then Mrs Victoria, which I told her I would contact her when I'm ready, when I was ready I contacted her but I realized I was being attended to by another person called Noel, who claimed he is from admin and has 22 years experience in trading and was ready to help me, I deposited 600dollars initially, this man kept telling me , I needed more funds all the time, I should deposit more, he was giving me signals with no take profits or stop loss, and when I almost loss all the money, he told me it is because of my small capital, so I decided to start with a capital of 2000 dollars, with his 22 years of experience I lost everything within 1 week.
Mr Noel is inexperienced, unprofessional, and heartless market analyst.
Because of what happened I decided to learn about trading, I then realized he was either inexperienced or just tried to scam me.
All in All stay away from CM trading, and don't believe everyone calls himself market analyst, some of them have others motives.

Dear PRIVATE CLIENT INFO REMOVED,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review with us; we appreciate your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your bad experience. After reviewing your account and call history, it appears that your market analyst, Noel, provided you with advice regarding hedging in your trades. Unfortunately, it seems you did not follow his instructions, resulting in a loss for your account.

Please understand that your account manager was attempting to provide helpful guidance. It's important to remember that trading in the market can be unpredictable due to its volatility. Additionally, we noticed that with the deposit you made, you were eligible for a silver account. With the silver account, you are entitled to a session with a market analyst, and your analyst attempted to assist you by calling multiple times to provide guidance.

We also encourage our clients to review the educational materials we offer before beginning trading, so they can become familiar with the process. If you require further assistance or clarification, please feel free to contact us at support@cmtrading.com.

Issue almost resolved

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
I am here to let you cmtrading is resolving the issue I have with them, honestly..no matter how angry I am, I love their response. I was not ignore from beginning to the point the issue is now.
They send me mail and on facebook apologizing for what happened and promise to make a refund which they actually did, but to my trading account. I want the fund to my crypto wallet. So I will make another withdrawal and I am hoping they pays this time without further issue.
I would have love to attach a screenshot of their message and that of my account balance as well....but I can't see where to attach doc.

Mar 13, 2023 - 1 Star This broker is a poo, deposit is immediate but withdrawal takes eternity with outrageous processing fee even with crypto currency...please avoid this poop broker.
They are really ripping Nigerians because of corruption, there is no body nor agency that monitor the activities of brokers like this.
For a transaction of 624 they took 101usdt as processing fee after a long while with countless excuses to avoid paying me.
Please avoid this broker if you are from a developing country like Nigeria.
This is their target.

Did not pay out my profits, just ignored my emails

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
I funded my trading account with 15k and had a good run, I made 6k profits which I then wanted to withdraw for personal expenses during these hard covid times.

They let me withdraw my initial funds but when I tried to withdraw the profits they came up with excuses like I was not trading according to their terms and conditions... What?

We had some emails back and forth and in the end they just ignored my emails, refusing to pay out my profits. I can't believe how cheap this broker is, making up excuses to pay out 6k. I honestly did not expect that from an international broker and was super disappointed about losing my winnings. But hey, we live and we learn.
Never again will I trade with CM Trading - this I guarantee! And I wish to warn my fellow trader who are looking for a good broker. Don't get fooled into using them due to their low spreads, they screw you in the end if you make money.

They Refused To Pay IB Money and Will Start Give Many Reasons

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
I have working as IB for them since Sept 2019. then around Oct 2019, they start delay the Commission WD. after that i start sending email by email everyday to get out my IB Commission money, they paid me USD1,417 on 16 Oct 2019.

They just paid me USD1417 only, and the balance money they refuse to pay. IB Department said i need to bring to them 3 more clients, then only payment will be release. This rules make me feel upset to work with them, because they never tell me about this before. They also never have or written this rules on IB Term & Conditions.

Then on Nov 2019, i bring more deposited clients to them to complete the target. Then the story BEGIN, they called me and talk very rudely said they wont paid this IB money no matter what. They keep said, my clients trading issue with them. Then i told CMTrading, how can i monitor each clients trades ? This not my mistake.

Now i wait for balance money USD2751 to be paid and i will keep update the progress. If they still refuse to paid, i will bring this case to FSCA later.

Dear Sir

You are invited to make any complaints you like.
The accounts that you introduced were "abuse accounts" and we made it clear we did not want your business.
In fact, we paid you one month and then made it clear you should take your business elsewhere as we would not honor any more clients of yours.

They pretend to offer Bitcoin loophole but they don't. After you deposit your cash they force you to do copykat.

Good day Sir,

A couple of weeks ago, you reached out to our Support team. After investigating this matter, we replied to you in great details.

First and foremost, so we are absolutely clear, no one ever "forced" you to use CopyKat and saying so is very far from the truth!

You registered for a CM Trading account via a website called Bitcoin Loophole, which is one of our affiliates. When our representative first contacted you, he presented himself as being from CM Trading – which he is – partnering with Bitcoin Loophole – which we are.
You expressed to him that you were interested in automated trading, which in our company is called CopyKat.

The Bitcoin Loophole software itself is not something that we provide and we never pretended to provide it. When you registered and filled in your details, you were redirected to our website to make your investment.
It should be noted that no one forced you to do that either.

What is not quite clear to us is that a large number of trades were opened on your account, and you traded for a full two weeks before you supposedly realized that "this was not what you wanted". That is quite a long time to be trading with a program that is not what you wanted or expected.

You also spoke with one of our trading specialist on 31.12.19 at which point he updated that your account was actually generating profits. You seemed quite pleased with that, and you certainly did not have any issues not being on the Bitcoin Loophole software then.
Unfortunately, later that day, the market turned against your trades and the losses generated were greater than the profits that had been made up to that point.

You claim that "you were sold" a product you didn't want, and yet it took you over 2 weeks to even say something and again only after the market had turned against your trades. If you had closed your trades in time and taken the profits you had generated then, we are pretty sure you wouldn't be regretting not getting the Bitcoin Loophole software.
We do understand and sympathize with your situation, but as per our terms of use which your accepted at the time of your registration, you are responsible for the results of your own trading whether it was done directly on MT4 or via CopyKat.

Dear client,
First and foremost, we apologize for the delay in replying to your post, we were not made aware of it.
We have read your concerns and looked into your account and we have to say that what you posted here is quite far from the actual reality.

In July 2019, you opened a number of live accounts on our platform. You proceeded to fund one of those accounts in September 2019 on your own with your own e-wallet. Nobody pressured you, nobody had to talk you into it, and certainly nobody "blackmailed" you into doing this!
After about 2 weeks of trading, you had managed to generate a profits of about 37% on your initial investment, which is an amazing accomplishment by any standard!
You then requested to withdraw your initial investment and transferred your profits to a second account.
Within a few days of trading, you asked yet again to transfer your funds to a third account and by mid-October 2019, you requested to withdraw your profits.
While we were processing your request, we had some concerns that your trading activity may have violated our terms and conditions, therefore we carefully checked your account, which we are more than allowed to do. Once all doubts were removed, the withdrawal of your profits was processed back to you without any issues.

In regards to our spreads, as you have been made aware a number of times, we offer floating spreads not fixed and that means that they fluctuate with the movement of the market. This is not new and it was not "changed", we've always had floating spreads and the information has always been available to you on our website.

On another note, every single time you've brought up a concern to our support team, you were given a response. You spoke on the phone with a number of our trading specialists and you were provided with answers to all your questions and you seemed - at the time at least - to be satisfied with them. We're not quite sure why you are saying that no one listened, this is also not true.
We also don't quite know what you mean by "this broker disturb my IB" you are welcome to contact us directly about that.

We appreciate every single review we receive, they help us grow and do better as a company. Having said that, we will not entertain reviews that are not based on true facts and simply aim to hurt our reputation.

I have deposited, traded and withdrawn and once I saw my money was safe I felt safe to bring my friends with me. So far we have no complaints and look forward to much successful trading

An Unprofessional Trading Specialist

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
Eddy Banks' unprofessional behavior made me to stop using CMTrading as my forex broker. Below is how he emailed me one day after he called me but my phone went off all over sudden due to a technical issue:

Morning Paul,

I called you this morning, however you decided to hang up the phone on me and after that you went silent on the line.

I am working with over 120 traders in my portfolio and I am not going to waste my time with any games.

Do you have serious intentions to increase your monthly income or should I stop bothering you?

T: 27 105008026 Ext 700
F: 44 2031501769

After I complained, he stopped his unprofessional behavior but it was not long before he started again. For instance, he called me one day and cut off the call. He blamed me that I was pretending not to hear him. You can prove this by listening to our phone conversation. My question is, was he treating me like garbage because I had invested a small amount of money? I believe that a company should treat all customers with respect irrespective of their financial capabilities. I have tried to start trading with CMTrading again but when I remember Eddy Banks, I feel very discouraged. I have even several potential clients, including my relatives and friends, but when I remember how they will be treated like garbage by Eddy, I feel very bad.

I would like to request CMTrading management to do something about that unprofessional trading specialist. His unprofessional behavior gives the company a very bad image.

Dear Paul,

First and foremost, we apologize for the delay in attending to your message, it seems that we were not notified of your post.

You brought this matter to the attention of our Support department in April 2019. The matter was checked and we believed that it was dealt to your satisfaction, therefore we are a bit surprised that you would post this over 2 months later.
As we mentioned back in April, we did listen to the phone conversations between yourself and Eddy and we did not believe then, nor now, that he had any bad intentions. We strongly believe that this was probably due to English not being his mother tongue.

Nevertheless, we do apologize on behalf of Eddy if you felt that you were not treated in a professional or respectful manner. We would not want any of our customers to feel that way, no matter the size of their investment with us.

Back in June, you were assigned a new trading specialist and he unfortunately did not manage to reach you over the phone as it seems you were not available. If you would like to be contacted and continue your trading activity with us, please contact our support department, we would very much like to have the opportunity to make it up to you!

Thank you
