Headquartered in the Republic of Mauritius ? An offshore entity? Did you read any of their legal customer documents? They state "The amount of time needed to execute a Request depends on the quality of the connection. Under Normal Market Conditions, the Requests are usually completed within one and ten seconds" One second? You do realize that's incredibly slow. 7 days minimum written notice to withdraw? No mention of account segregation, liquidity provisions, or anything of any use or reassurance.

Why someone would want to entrust their hard earned money here is beyond me. There must be 50 MT4 bucket shops that would be better, if one can't decide from the top 5-10 major ones.

Never had an idea to trade with this broker, but after this post I'm really confused. So what brokers I can trust my money.

So what does that mean? How can "the web" possibly make the decision for one to mail away thousands of dollars into a big black hole Donnald? Or is that Avalong? Wait - you're just logging in with different IPs, right?

Read what I wrote about Sunbirdfx. And click the links I provided that testify to their virtual existence. Hotbird is the same type of operation.

It is a tax resident in Mauritius. What is that? It's not a physical resident, right? So if it's a physical resident in say, the USA, why is it a tax resident of elsewhere? JadexFX was a resident of Belize for the same reasons, and it was a sham that went under weeks ago. I'm doubtful if HotForex's customer agreement is available for viewing prior to signing up. Even if it is, what about them being able to govern your financial assets? So they have overall governing ability, but - through the goodness of their heart - they also let you govern a little, by placing trades, here and there? What does this mean?

If after all that you still feel that among Oanda, MBT, Alpari and a multitude of respectable futures brokers in the US amd UK (that do spot fx as well) and are fully regulated, with real brick-and-mortar offices - that HotForex is the best option, I recommend you cease any notion of trading forex with real money. Or, declare your employment or shilling endeavours for this fake-fronted operation.

7 days minimum written notice to withdraw?
That is B.S.

Red flags and sirens should be going off right now.

What exactly constitutes a written notice?

Read contract very closely.

Make sure it is worded exactly right.

those 50% bonus is a scam,,beware about it as it will be included in yr free margin.. remember that u can only claim the bonus if u fulfill certain conditions... but it is alredy displayed in yr free margin, like the money u already own. Once u lost yr original deposit and yr trades start to eat into the 50% bonus margin, all yr trades will be closed and the bonus will be wiped out,,,..
