I opened a sell USDJPY

I opened a sell USDJPY position on OctaFX to hedge import costs. Despite generating a profit for 15615 USD, OctaFX accused me of arbitrage and seized my funds. I provided ample evidence to prove that my hedging was legitimate, and multiple OctaFX agents confirmed this. However, OctaFX's compliance department insisted otherwise. I tried filing a complaint with CySEC, but they responded that OctaFX is no longer regulated by them. I urge other traders to be cautious when using swap-free accounts, as there's a risk of your profits being unfairly seized.OctaFX's actions were unjustified and have damaged my trust in the company.

Delayed withdrawal when in profit

I have uses Octa for about 6 months when they started playing games. I was profiting about 15K USD (Fix Rate). When I wanted to withdraw, they say a lot of excuses to delay my withdrawal. Some of these reasons include: We need to verify with the bank, we are waiting for the funds provider, holiday season, etc… And then after 1 week from my withdrawal request, they say my account is under investigation for suspicious activities. Yeah, the suspicious activities that they were referring to was I was profiting a lot…hahhahaha. Then i was informed they do this routinely to make sure their clients’ funds are safe. But when i asked my friends who used Octa, they never have this happened to them because they were profiting way less than me. And the. after almost 3 weeks, they finally approved my withdrawl request. aAnd one more thing, their customer service are basically all robots. they use fake names amd profile pictures. Please dont use Octa.

OCTAFX Are SCAMMERS! AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS! they repeatedly charged me extremely high withdrawal fees, rejected my withdrawal multiple times by forcing me to make more and more trades before I could withdraw my capital in my Octafx account! TOTAL Cheats and OCTAFX CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!!

Unable to Withdraw

Profit cannot be withdrawn, and the principal cannot be withdrawn three times.

I deposited 9900 on June 17th to the Octa platform. Due to the platform's bonus promotion and high leverage, my funds doubled within a month. At this point, I wanted to withdraw the profits, but the platform refused my withdrawal request and asked me to provide KYC and three months of USDT wallet transaction records. After providing the requested documents, the platform claimed that I engaged in unauthorized trading. However, I traded normally, placing manual orders without delay or pushing positions. They want to deduct my profits and I even considered just getting back my initial investment. It has been almost three months now, and my initial investment has still not been withdrawn. Every time I communicate with the platform via email, their response is either that they are handling my withdrawal request normally or that it has been forwarded to the finance department. I hope that through Tianyan, the platform will address this issue correctly. Thank you.

OctaFX Blocked My Account & Denied My Withdrawal

I have been using OctaFX for the past year. Everything was fine when I was making losses, but when I finally made a profit and requested a withdrawal, they blocked my account and declined my $462 withdrawal. OctaFX scammed me! I sent multiple emails, but there has been no response. OctaFX, don't scam Indian users—refund my $462! My Account Number: 48198739

Extremely Poor Support with No Resolution or Clear

I have been using Octa for a while, but recent experiences have been extremely disappointing. For over two weeks now, I've been facing an issue that was supposedly escalated to their finance team and senior management, but there has been no resolution or clear update on what's happening. Despite repeated follow-ups, all I get are generic statements like: "Our processing department is still in the midst of investigating this issue." "This will be the report number that has been escalated to our finance team regarding this clarification: 3858103" "Please know that we're taking this issue very seriously and are working to resolve it as quickly as possible." No SLAs or ETAs have been provided, and it feels like the finance team is running the entire operation with no accountability to the customers. It's honestly frustrating to see no concrete progress despite my issue being escalated to high-level management. I would urge others to be cautious when dealing with Octa.

    I might be harsh on them, but this is what I feel! The customer service needs improvements as soon as possible. The people who work as a support seem to know the topics, but the time it takes for them to respond is a lot. I can’t stand waiting, I take it as a disrespect towards myself… As for the trading, there wasn’t any big troubles. The spreads are not 0.6 pips, they are usually 1.2 pips for eur/usd, which is fine. Commissions are zero, that’s the advantage tho.
