Certified Trade has been flagged by Financial Markets Authority for "Fraud and Other Types of Misconduct". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
I was about to invest with Certified Trade but decided to check their regulatory status first. They claim to be regulated but I could not find them on any official register. Financial Markets Authority has actually issued a warning about this firm. Thank goodness I checked before sending any money.
Pros: Website looks legitimate on the surface
Cons: Listed in warning databases|No transparency|Pressure to invest quickly
Tried to withdraw my funds from Certified Trade and was told I needed to pay a "withdrawal tax" of 20%. This is a red flag. No legitimate broker charges withdrawal taxes. When I refused, they became aggressive and eventually stopped all communication. My entire investment is gone.
Cons: Blocked my account|No legitimate license|Fake returns
I trusted Certified Trade with a significant portion of my savings and I deeply regret that decision. Not because of market losses, but because of how poorly the platform performed and how dismissively the support team treated my concerns.
Pros: Easy withdrawals|Quick verification|Dedicated account manager
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists
I joined Certified Trade after a trusted YouTuber reviewed them and from the start, things felt off. The signup process collected far more personal information than necessary, the verification took unreasonably long, and when I finally got access, the platform was nothing like what was advertised.
Pros: Detailed reporting|Automated trading options|Multi-currency support|Clear documentation
Cons: Research section could be deeper|No phone support on weekends
I experienced a security concern with my Certified Trade account and reported it immediately. Their response time was inexcusable for a financial platform. It took them four days to acknowledge my report and another week to actually address it.
Pros: Transparent fees|Responsive team|Fast deposits
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources|Cannot customize dashboard fully
I gave Certified Trade a fair chance. After for a few weeks now of usage, I can say with confidence that there are far better options available. The interface is clunky, the fees are higher than competitors, and the customer support team seems overwhelmed or understaffed.
Pros: Market news feed|Intuitive for beginners|Tax reports included|Automated trading options
Cons: None so far
My withdrawal from Certified Trade was rejected three times for vague reasons. Each time they asked for more documents. When I finally provided everything, they said my account was under review. for about five months of being strung along.
Pros: Demo account available|Economic calendar
Cons: Would like more payment methods
I am in a dispute with Certified Trade over a trade that was clearly erroneous. The price shown was wrong, I closed at a profit, and they reversed the trade and took the money back. They said it was a system error. So I lose and they keep? Unacceptable.
Pros: Real-time alerts|Fast execution
Cons: Slow to add new assets
The mobile app from Certified Trade is dangerous. I placed an order that showed as pending, so I placed another. Both executed and I was overexposed. When I complained they said it was user error. The app design is misleading.
Pros: Customizable dashboard|Portfolio tracking tools
Cons: Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days|Account statements could be more detailed
