Profit Deduction Without Evidence – Serious Compla

I deposited $3,600 and traded my account up to $7,456.54. However, I was only able to withdraw around $5,200. The remaining profit was removed by YWO. They claimed I violated their terms but failed to provide any clear evidence or explanation. This raises serious concerns about transparency and fairness. Traders should be cautious.

Scam

All based on deception

This platform only allows losses, not profits, especially for Introducing Brokers (IBs). Even with the same trade, different margin levels will result in varying outcomes for different investors. This platform deducts profits from every trade, leaving the client to bear the losses. Which IB would dare to participate? If they do, they'll be left with no way to clean up the mess. Investment bankers, beware! Don't believe emails offering support for various trading options, because it's pure nonsense.

YWO platform canceled all profits without explanat

Trading Account Number: 23469 I am a client currently trading on the YWO platform. During my forex trading activities, I have executed all trades in full compliance with the platform’s rules and regulations. However, on April 17, 2024, I discovered that the platform had unilaterally removed profits from my trading account in the amount of $4,058.55, without any clear notification or reasonable explanation. All of my trades were conducted legitimately, without any form of fraud or violation of the terms and conditions. The platform’s unilateral adjustment of my account balance without providing concrete evidence is a lack of transparency and has seriously affected my rights and interests. If this issue is not resolved satisfactorily, I will: File a complaint with the relevant financial regulatory authorities; Publicly disclose this matter to protect my legitimate rights and interests.

All-Kill Scam

The platform advertises unlimited trading, but with the same trading strategy, some accounts profit while others lose. Then comes the shady dealing: they cancelled and deducted the profit from the account with an accuse of illegal trade, but when it comes to a account with lose, they would say it's normal trade and let the customer bears the loss themselves. Since the same trading strategy on the same platform at the same time is invalidated, then all trades should be invalidated. This platform is a All-Kill Scam because making a profit and withdrawing funds normally is extremely difficult. Everything is fine before any trades or deposits, but once you deposit and make a profit, a whole host of problems arise. Sigh… It operates a platform without any real ability, relying entirely on deception. Investment bankers, be very careful when depositing funds! (They're stubbornly refusing to admit it and I'll fight for my rights to the end.)

Complaint Regarding Incorrect Profit Adjustment

Platform: MT5 YWO-TRADE Date & Time of Trade: 13:31:54 17/04/2026 I noticed that my profit 3379,77$was unexpectedly adjusted/removed by the system. Specifically, the platform appears to have cut my profit / modified execution price without justification.I submitted a request for an investigation to the support team, but they did not respond and ignored my requests.

YWO's behavior is ugly and unscrupulous, resulting in significant losses.

YWO received the email shown below and thought the platform was incredibly powerful. The agent arranged for me and three other investors to deposit. My trading account showed a loss of $2000, while only one of our three, an investment banker, made a profit. He deposited more money and managed to weather the storm. Now the platform says his profit was irregular and was deducted directly. I thought, since we were trading at the same time and using the same strategy, if one trade order is irregular, then all of them are; if not, then none are. I applied to get my $2000 principal back, but the platform replied that mine was normal. Haha, they're taking all profits and losses; this is amazing.

Unable to Withdraw

Double standards made me unable to withdraw and the profit was deducted.

My first deposit resulted in a margin call and a loss. The platform sent me an email stating that my account balance was zeroed out, along with a statement that the platform supported any trading rules and methods. After I deposited more funds, my account became profitable due to favorable market conditions. The platform then deducted my profits, claiming it violated the customer agreement. When I lost money using the same trading strategy, they proactively sent emails to clear my account balance and asked me to deposit more funds. However, when I made a profit, they claimed it violated the customer agreement. The same trading strategy applied a double standard, allowing only losses but not profits. Moreover, the platform kept reducing my leverage as I traded, from the advertised 1:1000 to 1:50, with the sole purpose of quickly causing my account to be liquidated. It's a platform that purely profits from its customers' losses.

    Leverage

    The leverage on this platform is up to a high 1:1000. Leverage allows traders to increase the potential return on an investment by using borrowed funds (debt) to finance the purchase of assets. However, it also increases risks.

    Fees

    If you are a Standard Account user, then the commission is free. But when it comes to the Zero Spread Account, the commission is from $7 per round trip.

    YWO doesn't disclose much information about the spread on its website. But the spread seems to start from 0 pip, since YWO offers a “Zero Spread Account”.

    Trading Platform

    MT5 (MetaTrader 5) is offered by this platform. It is a popular multi-asset trading platform developed by MetaQuotes. It is widely used by traders for online trading in various financial markets. Being the successor to MT4 (MetaTrader 4), MT5 offers enhanced features and expanded functionality.
