Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why OpenTrading is on the register
OpenTrading claims to be a regulated firm while presenting neither details about its company information (company name, office address) and regulations, nor legal documents (terms & conditions, risk disclosure, etc.). Lacking such information may be a distinct characteristic of unlicensed brokers, as legit brokers always present their accreditation and licenses in a prominent position. It is a red flag here. Downloading its official MT5 trading platform, we found this broker locates in the British Virgin Islands. However, we did not find any match results to OpenTrading in the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission (BVI FSC), which is the national financial regulator. The truth is, OpenTrading is not under valid regulation by any regulators to do forex. Investors’ funds in this broker are unsafe and cannot be protected by any law. Therefore, it is 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.
