What we commit to
- No guaranteed returns. The percentages we publish are illustrative targets, not fixed rates. Some periods lose money, and we say so on the page rather than in the small print.
- Our regulatory status on every page. Including the parts that are not flattering. If that costs us registrations, so be it.
- Clear withdrawal terms. Published, with the same payment method required in and out, and no surprise holds.
- Named, reachable support. A real address and a real phone number, answered by people who can explain what you are buying.
Choose the plan that matches your circumstances. Every figure below is an illustrative target, not a fixed rate.
How these figures work. The percentage shown against each plan is an illustrative target for that tier, calculated from the historical performance of the strategy under the market conditions of the period measured. It is not a fixed rate, not a guaranteed return, and not a promise of future performance. Actual results vary from period to period and can be negative. Your money is at risk and you can lose all of it. The full position is set out in the Terms and Conditions.
Platinum Plan
$25000-$100000
- Target return: 30%
- Returns are variable and can be negative
FAQ
Forex trading is the practice of buying and selling currencies in order to make a profit. It works by taking advantage of fluctuations in exchange rates between different currencies. For example, if you believe that the value of the US dollar will rise against the euro, you can buy dollars and sell euros. If your prediction is correct, you can make a profit — and if it is not, you can lose money.
Expert Trading combines access to a third-party trading platform with market commentary and account management support. We are also transparent about the things that are not flattering: we publish our full legal and regulatory status on every page, and we do not claim to be regulated by a regulator that has not authorised us.
We offer market analysis and news commentary, onboarding guidance, and a support team available on business days by email and WhatsApp. Support hours and response times are confirmed when you open an account.
Registration takes a few minutes. You create an account, complete the identity checks we are required to carry out, select the plan that matches your circumstances, and deposit funds. You can then access the trading platform and start trading.
No trading activity is completely risk free. Before you commit any money you should understand three things. First, leverage magnifies losses as well as gains. Second, an unauthorised firm does not give you the protections you get from an FCA-authorised one: your money is not covered by the FSCS, you cannot complain to the FOS, and your account is not subject to FCA client-money rules. Third, if you are resident in the United Kingdom you should check whether you are permitted to trade with an unauthorised firm before you send any money — the FCA publishes guidance on this, and trading with an unauthorised firm can be an offence.
Our regulatory status is set out in full in the Terms and Conditions and at the bottom of every page. We would rather you decide with the facts in front of you.
The risks are significant and you should not invest money you cannot afford to lose. Returns are variable, not fixed and not guaranteed. The percentage figures shown against each plan are illustrative targets based on the historical performance of the strategy under particular market conditions; they are not a promise, a fixed rate, or a contract of future results, and periods of loss occur. Other risks include: leverage increasing the size of losses; currency movements against your position; slippage and execution risk; the possibility of losing access to funds while a withdrawal is processed; and the risk that an unauthorised firm is unable to meet a withdrawal request at all. If you are uncertain whether this is suitable for you, take independent advice before you deposit.
You need to be at least 18 years old, resident in a jurisdiction where we can accept clients, and able to complete our identity checks. You will need a valid identity document, proof of address, and a payment method in your own name. Once your account is verified, choose the plan that matches your circumstances, deposit funds, and you can start trading.
Yes. We run a single-level referral programme. If someone you refer registers and funds an account, you receive a disclosed commission on their deposit. The programme is single-level only — there is no payment for recruiting further members, and no commission is payable on the activity of anyone you did not refer directly. A full description is in the Terms and Conditions.
No. Referral commission is earned from the deposits of people you refer. You do not need to deposit money yourself to be eligible to refer, but you cannot receive commission on your own deposits.
Withdrawals are made to a payment account in your own name. We ask that funds are withdrawn using the same payment method used for the deposit, because a mismatch is a common trigger for payment-provider fraud checks and is the single largest cause of delayed withdrawals. Where we cannot verify a withdrawal request, we may ask for additional identity documents before releasing funds.
