Taurex has been flagged by Securities Commission for "Unregistered/Unlicensed entity offering financial products or services". Carrying on unlicensed capital market activities of dealing in securities This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
The spread at Taurex is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them from a blog post comparing services and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.
Pros: Regular updates|Demo account available|Competitive fees
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources
I gave Taurex a fair chance. After for about three months 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: Portfolio tracking tools|Dedicated account manager|Segregated accounts|Smooth onboarding
Cons: Charting tools need more indicators|None so far
I referred a friend to Taurex after seeing their ad online. We both deposited. The referral bonus never arrived. Support said we did not meet the terms. When we asked which terms they pointed to a clause that was added after we signed up. Shady.
Pros: Customizable dashboard|Multi-currency support|Easy to use platform
Cons: Inactivity fee applies after 12 months|Limited cryptocurrency options
I looked into Taurex and found they appear in the regulatory warnings database. Securities Commission has issued a notice about this firm. Whether this is a misunderstanding or a serious concern, the fact remains that proper due diligence is essential. Always verify the regulatory status of any company before investing your hard-earned money.
Cons: Listed in IOSCO I-SCAN|May not be authorized in your jurisdiction
Tried to withdraw my funds from Taurex 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
Customer support at Taurex seems to be run by people who have never used the platform. Every time I call with an issue, I end up explaining how their own system works before they can help me. It would be funny if my money was not involved.
Pros: Low minimum deposit|Good analytical tools|Clear documentation
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources|Website design could be more modern
Several red flags with Taurex: (1) They promise unrealistically high returns, (2) They're not registered with Securities Commission, (3) Their contact information is vague, (4) They pressure you to deposit quickly. I recommend everyone do thorough due diligence before investing with any company.
Cons: Unauthorized firm|Found in IOSCO warnings database
Do not use Taurex for anything serious. I used them since I retired last year for small trades and it was okay. When I deposited a larger amount and traded more, my account was flagged, my withdrawals were delayed, and I was asked to explain my trading. They treat active traders like criminals.
Pros: Smooth onboarding|Comprehensive tools
Cons: Nothing significant
Taurex 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: Customizable dashboard|Copy trading available|Segregated accounts|Real-time alerts
Cons: No integrated tax optimization
