This company is not honest. It's all deceitful and fake to take all you have and leave you empty. I noticed a lot of figures on my account weren't adding up so I found this disturbing However, Letter... See more

They are a scam broker

They are a scam broker, they don't withdrawals. I have been waiting for my withdrawals for 5 days now. Everytime I enquire about it they tell me the matter has been escalated. They claim to process withdrawals same day but thats all a lie

Trade245 is a wolf in sheep clothing

Trade245 is a wolf in sheep clothing, when you are a new customer they will be responsive to you, as far as withdrawals your 1st processes will be quick and successful as long your minimum withdrawal profit is R1000 or below.... Trade 245 is also capable of locking your floating profit once they have analyzed any reversals so that you loose, also capable of locking accounts with pending limit orders or pending Tps so that Targets may not be reached. I have had issues with them and until today they no longer respond to my messages

I deposited funds with Trade245 and…

I deposited funds with Trade245 and deeply regret it. Their customer service is abysmal. They bombard you with emails requesting documents, but once you submit everything, they go silent—especially when you ask about your withdrawal.

It’s been over 10 days since I requested my payout. Every day, I’m told “you’ll receive it by the end of the day,” but nothing ever arrives. They keep making excuses and dragging things out. It’s clear they’re stalling, and at this point, I believe this is a scam operation.
They’re quick to take your deposit but vanish when it’s time to pay out. I’ve followed every instruction, submitted every document, and still—no funds, no accountability.

This is a SCAM

This is a SCAM, do not deposit any money, they will ask you to provide documents so they can use your data for their scams, I have asked for my deposit and they refused.

Thisbisa very very very 100% stupid broker,they are smart and scamming.
I used it and I was in profitable trades then I wanted to manually close b4 tp, then they manipulate the trading terminal mt5 such that when you close order it will say REJECTED, until market change direction to my loss ,that's where then mt5 was normal,
I don't recommend this broker to anyone. Even their watsap number is so stupid, u wrote then your issue they will lough at you. Live chats is 0%.
Arg. It doesn't deserve even a star. I hate your poor service, yet you know we arr trading money for money, but feel sad when someone is winning 😢.
Yooooo scam senja.

SCAM BROKER!!!

SCAM BROKER!! Avoid using them at all costs, they don't allow you to enter trades during news releases and if you already had trades running they close some of them. Too many excuses when you want to withdraw your money. The 1/5 is too generous in my opinion, if it were possible I'd give them a 0/5. DO NOT USE THIS BROKER❗️❗️

Ghosting my answers - impossible to withdraw (which is illegal)

Hi, I have been waiting for my withdrawal for approximatelly 2 months.

I don´t know why in this last withdrawal request they asked me a BTC wallet ownership verification.
I provided all the notary documentation requested and proved to them that the wallet is mine. But they are still holding my withdrawal. And they simply doesn´t answer me.

This isn´t the only problem I had with them.

The withdrawal before this one they are holding, I requested 1 withdrawal and they divided into 2 and charged me 2 withdrawal fees. (approximatelly 20 usd each)

Bonus is a scam

Bonus is a scam , better go to XM or HFM. Being a pro with a experience. At least your bonus won't get swallowed. I placed positions and they were swallowed including the broker bonus . Don't use them better to use another broker .
