وسيط Headway هو في الواقع

وسيط Headway هو في الواقع عملية احتيال. يتلاعبون بالصفقات، ويمنعون عمليات السحب، ويغلقون الحسابات دون أي دليل ملموس على متى تم تحقيق أرباح ضخمة. يرجى التحقق أولاً قبل استخدامهم، إما أن يكون ترخيصهم مستنسخًا أو مزيفًا

It's an absolute scam,Trading on Headway resulted in me losing money, sliding from 1.16914 to 1.16625, leaving my balance at only 2.8。

It's an absolute scam, as the deposit bonus they offer you will disappear in seconds due to the spreads alone, plus you'll find that even if your account is balanced, they can remove your bonus mid-trade and blow up your entire account like they did to me. Other Exposures Original

The Headway broker stole my profits.

The Headway broker stole my profits and told me that I misused the negative balance process when I did not incur any losses on the account. Everyone should stay away from the fraudulent broker who stole my profit of $1268.

I've been plagued by both slippage and margin calls, sinking into despair. Slippage haunts every trade like a ghost. In one GBP/JPY trade, the market was stable, but my order slipped by over 30 pips.

Unable to Withdraw

I chose this crappy platform,

I chose this crappy platform, Headway, and fell for their "data-based" claims. Now, withdrawing my money is incredibly difficult. The Malaysian team running it are a bunch of scoundrels! Last month, I saw some gains in my account and thought I'd withdraw my principal first. But after submitting a withdrawal request, I started waiting endlessly. Customer service initially said it would arrive in 3-5 business days, but after a week, nothing happened. I contacted them, and the Malaysian customer service staff started arguing, saying my withdrawal request had "data anomalies" and required additional information. I submitted the requested information again and again, but they still refused. It's clear they don't want me to withdraw! Now, not only can I not withdraw my money, I can't even log in! Is this what they call "data-based"? They're just using fake data to scam users out of their money!
