Real FX Trading has been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority for "Unregistered/Unlicensed entity offering financial products or services". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
I joined Real FX Trading through a financial advisor 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: Regular platform improvements|Social trading features|Easy to use platform|Automated trading options
Cons: No live chat on mobile
After since last summer with Real FX Trading I requested to close my account and withdraw. They said I had to complete a 30-day cooling-off period. Then they said there was a minimum holding period for my last deposit. They make it as hard as possible to leave.
Pros: Multi-currency support|Demo account available|Real-time alerts
Cons: None so far|No live chat on mobile
I requested my data from Real FX Trading under GDPR. They sent a partial export that was missing months of transactions. When I asked for the rest they said it was a technical issue. Still waiting. They do not take data rights seriously.
Pros: Responsive team|Market news feed|Regular updates|Instant funding
Cons: Website design could be more modern|Desktop app not available on Linux
Real FX Trading changed their fee structure with one month notice. What was a flat fee became a percentage. For my account size it meant a huge increase. When I objected they said I could leave. So I am leaving and writing this review.
Pros: Fast support response|Social trading features|Multi-device support|Comprehensive tools
Cons: Research section could be deeper|Mobile app could be improved
I was about to invest with Real FX Trading but decided to check their regulatory status first. They claim to be regulated but I could not find them on any official register. Financial Conduct Authority has actually issued a warning about this firm. Thank goodness I checked before sending any money.
Cons: Unauthorized firm|Found in IOSCO warnings database
I experienced a security concern with my Real FX Trading 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: Dedicated account manager|Transparent fees|Easy to use platform
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague|Wish they had more educational resources
Opened my account with Real FX Trading after attending a webinar they hosted and regretted it within the first month. The platform crashed during a critical moment, I lost potential gains, and support basically told me it was not their problem. Absolutely unacceptable behavior.
Pros: Good mobile app|Comprehensive tools
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers
The mobile app from Real FX Trading 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: Fast support response|Automated trading options|Copy trading available|Fast deposits
Cons: Search feature is basic|Minor UI glitches occasionally
I was contacted by Real FX Trading through social media. They promised guaranteed returns of 20-30% monthly. Being naive, I invested. The "account manager" pressured me to invest more and more. When I finally tried to take profit, my account was frozen and they stopped responding. Classic Ponzi/advance fee fraud.
Pros: Professional looking website
Cons: No regulatory oversight|Money disappeared|Fake testimonials
