Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why Element Trade MT5 is on the register
Element Trade MT5 claims to be operated by Element Trade Ltd. under various regulations, including the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), the Japan Financial Services Agency (Japan FSA), and the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI). However, our search for this company in the above-mentioned regulators’ registries didn’t yield any results. This means that it is using false information to deceive unsuspecting investors. In addition, Element Trade MT5 also claims to have an NFA ID of 0555592. We did find matching records on National Futures Association (NFA) website but data shows that it is not an NFA-member and thus not subject to this regulator’s oversight. In essence, Element Trade MT5 is not regulated by any governing body. Entrusting this broker with investors’ funds is highly risky, as there are no legal protections in place to safeguard the funds. It is unequivocally a scam.
If you have money with this broker
- Stop sending funds. Do not pay any further “fees”, “taxes” or “verification” charges to release a withdrawal — this is a common secondary scam.
- Preserve evidence. Save transaction IDs, wallet addresses, chat logs, and every screenshot before the account is closed.
- Report it. Notify your bank/exchange and your national financial regulator so the activity is on record.
- Get guidance. Tell us what happened and we will point you toward the right next step. We are a free public registry — we never charge any fees.
