Warnings
According to WikiFX, the BVI license claimed by InstaForex may be “fake” or a clone; when checked on the BVI FSC Business Search, no exact record could be found. (wikifx.com)
Some users accuse the broker of manipulating spreads, canceling profitable trades when small accounts grow well, or refusing to pay profits from bonuses/trading contests. (brokersview.com)
Using high leverage carries very high risks — traders must clearly understand margin call and stop-out levels when the market becomes volatile.
Withdrawals are sometimes reported to be delayed or subject to strict verification procedures, especially for accounts with bonuses or special conditions.
