trade-eu.net 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 had high hopes for trade-eu.net from a blog post comparing services, but my experience has been disappointing. Customer support is slow, the platform has frequent issues, and their fee structure is not as transparent as advertised. I am actively looking for alternatives now.
Pros: Low minimum deposit|Fast deposits
Cons: Research section could be deeper
I experienced a security concern with my trade-eu.net 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: Low minimum deposit|Tax reports included|API access
Cons: Limited demo account features|No crypto staking
Several red flags with trade-eu.net: (1) They promise unrealistically high returns, (2) They're not registered with Financial Conduct Authority, (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
trade-eu.net has no proper customer support. The live chat is a bot. The phone number goes to a call center that cannot access your account. Email takes two weeks. When I had a real problem they were nowhere to be found.
Pros: Social trading features|Great customer service|Automated trading options
Cons: Research section could be deeper
After spending since the beginning of the year trying to make trade-eu.net work for me, I have given up. The platform has too many limitations, the fees are not competitive, and the quality of their market data is questionable. There are much better options available.
Pros: No hidden fees|Comprehensive tools
Cons: Search feature is basic|Currency conversion fee exists
Their two-factor authentication was optional when I joined. I enabled it. Later I lost my phone and could not log in. trade-eu.net recovery process took 3 weeks and required notarized documents. By then I had missed important trades. Their security is your inconvenience.
Pros: Detailed reporting|Good analytical tools
Cons: Wait times can be long during peak hours|Mobile app could be improved
trade-eu.net has the worst mobile app I have ever used for investing. It crashes constantly, features that work on desktop are missing entirely, and the security implementation is questionable at best. How they released this app is beyond me.
Pros: Automated trading options|Easy to use platform|Segregated accounts|Responsive team
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources
Tried to withdraw my funds from trade-eu.net 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: Lost entire investment|Reported to authorities|Unresponsive
Do not be fooled by the professional-looking website. Behind the scenes, trade-eu.net is disorganized and incompetent. I found them based on a colleague's recommendation and I can only assume the positive reviews are either outdated or paid for because my experience was terrible.
Pros: Customizable dashboard|Instant funding|Transparent fees
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources
trade-eu.net locked my account without warning and demanded documents I had already submitted. for close to eighteen months later I still do not have access to my funds. Their compliance team does not respond to emails. I am considering legal action.
Pros: Regular platform improvements|Full transparency|Good mobile app
Cons: Slow to add new assets
