What the record says

ASIC cancelled the AFS licence of XTradeau Pty Limited (media release 24-122mr, 2024) after an investigation found vulnerable clients were encouraged to trade CFDs they could not afford; an AAT stay application filed 29 April 2024 was refused.

xtrade.com's own licences page names Up Trend Ltd (UIC 121527003, Sofia) as licensed by Bulgaria's Financial Supervision Commission under licence RG-03-110, operating as an EU investment intermediary under MiFID II.

The same page states the Seychelles entity WizBrokers Limited (company registration 8436587-1, FSA licence SD203) does not offer services to residents of the USA, Canada, Iran, North Korea, Europe and the UK.

The FSA Seychelles securities-dealer register lists WizBrokers Limited, trade name Xtrade, registered at Azores Building, Ile du Port, Mahe.

Loss-rate warnings on xtrade.com state 83.5%-85.5% of retail investor CFD accounts lose money depending on the regional entity.
