⚠️ Fake ? Classic Withdrawal Trap

An investor reports their Capitalcom account was suddenly frozen after trading.
Funds became non-withdrawable, and the platform allegedly demanded a “security deposit equal to the account balance” to unlock withdrawals.

Based on shared evidence, this case likely involves a clone platform, not the official capitalcom.
Other users noted the app interface differs from the Google Play version, and warned that any platform asking for extra money to withdraw funds is almost always a scam.

Industry Risk Alert:
① Clone platforms often copy well-known broker names, domains, or apps to lure deposits.
② Once users try to withdraw, they invent fees like “security” or “guarantee” deposits for a second round of fraud.

⚠️ Moves Funds — Red Flag?

Multiple users in Vietnam report that Gold Fun Corporation allegedly moved client funds to AGA Capital Hub without consent, followed by withdrawal limits or account blocks.
Some accounts have reportedly been unable to withdraw since Sept 2025.

Investors say AGA Capital Hub is promoted as a PAMM manager or AI trading tool, yet appears to control fund flows, raising serious concerns.

So far, neither Gold Fun nor AGA Capital Hub has issued a public response.

👉 Is this a risk control issue — or a warning sign investors should not ignore?

⚠️ Investor Alert:

Multiple traders report sudden account bans and fund deductions at Scope Markets, citing a lack of clear evidence or prior notice.
Public records show the broker operates under multiple entities and regulators, each offering different levels of protection.

Based on the documents provided by the complainants, their trading accounts were opened under RS Global Ltd, an entity registered with the Belize FSC. This is considered an offshore regulatory jurisdiction with very limited investor protection. In practice, this often means weaker dispute resolution mechanisms and greater difficulty in recovering funds when conflicts arise. Investors should be fully aware of these risks and exercise extra caution.

⚠️ Always verify which entity your account is under, keep full records, and escalate disputes to the relevant regulator if issues arise.

⚠️ Trader Report: # IronFX Profit Removed After Contest？

A trader reported that IronFX encouraged a $3,004 deposit through a trading contest. After the account became profitable, all profits worth $19,228.45 were removed, citing “rule violations.”

⚠️ Challenge Account Closed Suddenly?

A trader reported joining a FTMO proprietary trading challenge, only to have the account suddenly closed, with funds and the entry fee frozen and no withdrawal allowed.

According to email screenshots shared by the trader, FTMO cited “cross-account hedging” as the reason. The platform said the trader coordinated opposite positions across accounts in a simulated environment, which violated its rules.
As a result, all trades were terminated, the account was permanently banned, the fee was not refunded, and future participation was denied.

⚠️ Gold Chart Dispute Ends in Account Lock?

A trader reports that on Dec 28, while comparing gold indicators, the gold price chart on WZ Gold Group Company Limited appeared noticeably different from other platforms.

When the trader questioned customer support, the only response was that the platform is “legitimate,” with no explanation for the unusual price movement. After the trader mentioned the possibility of reporting the issue, support requested the account number — and the account was then suddenly blocked, making login impossible.

The trader estimates losses of around RMB 160,000 over the past one to two months. As of now, the platform has not issued any public response regarding this complaint.

⚠️ Trader Report:

A trader reports that while trading silver on Grand Markets, the spread suddenly jumped from a normal 30 points to 502 points, triggering an instant margin call and wiping out the account.

The trader tried to contact the account manager but received no response. The platform has remained silent and has not provided any explanation or resolution so far.

👉 According to FxGecko, Grand Markets only holds an offshore Anjouan (Comoros) license, which offers very limited investor protection. Dispute resolution under such regulation is often difficult, and risks can be high.

Do you think a broker should compensate traders for margin calls caused by sudden abnormal spreads?

🇺🇸 US Data Focus: On Tuesday, US Q3 GDP takes center stage. Durable goods orders, consumer confidence, and jobless claims will also be released through the week.

🇯🇵 Bank of Japan Watch: On Friday, Tokyo CPI and comments from BOJ Governor Ueda are in focus. Any policy hints before Christmas could trigger yen volatility.

⚠️ Reminder: Lower liquidity can amplify price swings. In quiet markets, key data or surprise news may cause sharp short-term moves.
