TREND TRADE 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.
After seeing ads for TREND TRADE online, I investigated. The company is listed in the IOSCO I-SCAN warnings database and has been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority. Their website looks professional but that means nothing - many scam operations invest heavily in appearance. Always check the regulatory warnings before investing.
Cons: Flagged by Financial Conduct Authority|Cannot verify credentials
Tried to withdraw my funds from TREND 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.
Pros: Initially responsive customer service
Cons: Blocked my account|No legitimate license|Fake returns
Their two-factor authentication was optional when I joined. I enabled it. Later I lost my phone and could not log in. TREND TRADE recovery process took 3 weeks and required notarized documents. By then I had missed important trades. Their security is your inconvenience.
Pros: Stable platform|Educational resources
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists
If you are reading this considering TREND TRADE - run. I wish I had read more negative reviews through a financial advisor. I thought the positive ones were real. Maybe some are. My experience over for a couple of months now has been so bad I feel obligated to warn others. Do not make my mistake.
Pros: No hidden fees|Regular updates
Cons: Alert system is basic
Do not use TREND TRADE for anything serious. I used them for over three years 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: Multi-currency support|Reliable uptime|Low minimum deposit|Economic calendar
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux|No phone support on weekends
For anyone considering TREND TRADE, please be aware that this company has been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority. This does not necessarily mean they are a scam, but it does mean they may not be authorized to operate in certain jurisdictions. I strongly recommend checking the official regulator website before making any investment decisions.
Cons: Appears in regulatory warnings database|Uncertain regulatory status
The spread at TREND TRADE is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them through a forum discussion and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.
Pros: Multi-currency support|Wide product range|Professional team|Fast deposits
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague|Desktop app not available on Linux
I signed up with TREND TRADE after a trusted YouTuber reviewed them and the first red flag was the aggressive account manager who would not stop calling. After depositing, the promised support vanished. Withdrawals are delayed with endless excuses. I have reported them to the regulator.
Pros: Fast support response|Social trading features|Automated trading options
Cons: Mobile app could be improved
I opened an account with TREND TRADE for just over a year ago. The platform frequently logs you out, orders fail to execute at the stated price, and when you complain they blame your internet connection. I have screenshots proving otherwise.
Pros: Clear documentation|Tax reports included|Customizable dashboard
Cons: Wait times can be long during peak hours
I invested $25,000 with TREND TRADE after seeing their professional-looking website. At first, everything seemed fine - they showed me impressive returns on my dashboard. But when I tried to withdraw, they kept making excuses. First it was "processing time," then "verification needed," then "you need to pay a tax fee first." I never got my money back. I have since reported them to Financial Conduct Authority.
Cons: Cannot withdraw funds|Not regulated|Pressure tactics
