"Do not use!!!"
What do you like best about 1x Trade?
Nothing to like, they trade in Fraud.
You make money, they then accuse you of cheating with no review process.
They then keep all the funds you have made. 87k USD gone.
What would you improve about 1x Trade?
The owners being locked up and sued woukd be an improvement.
Overall
Disgusting, accused of cheating, funds seized and kept by them.
Customer support is pointless, thier compliance team dont answer questions, dont investigate, they dont do anything. 1xTrade is nothing but a scam, using traders to build accounts for them to seize funds, stating you breached their terms and conditions 87k USD gone in a flash.

What do you like best about 1x Trade?
The onboarding process was seamless — account setup was quick, deposit via crypto was straightforward, and the platform interface was clean and easy to navigate. In hindsight, that should have been a warning sign. Legitimate regulated brokers require identity verification, suitability assessments, and risk disclosures before allowing you to trade. The fact that I was trading within minutes of signing up, with no checks whatsoever, is not a feature — it is how unregulated brokers avoid scrutiny while making it as easy as possible to get your money in.
What would you improve about 1x Trade?
Stop stealing from your clients. Honor the profits that were legitimately earned and clearly documented. Respond to compliance emails instead of ignoring six consecutive messages while publicly pretending you are eager to resolve the case. If you genuinely believe a trade violated your policy, provide the specific clause, the exact data used in your review, and allow the client to respond — rather than sending a vague email and immediately zeroing the account with no appeal process.
Get regulated. Obtain a proper licence from a recognized financial authority. Until then, stop targeting EU and Polish residents who are entitled to regulatory protections you deliberately circumvent by registering in an offshore jurisdiction.
And if you are going to offer someone their money back, make it actually withdrawable.
Overall
I am a Polish day trader specializing in XAUUSD CFDs. On 1 February 2026 I opened an account with 1x Trade Ltd. (www.1xtrade.com) after seeing promotions by YouTube influencer "FxAlexG". I deposited USD 1,800 in USDC on the Ethereum network.
I built my account to ~USD 35,000. On 5 February 2026 I opened a pyramided short position across three trades with Take Profit at 4,684.00:
Trade #3291402 (primary): opened 20:20 UTC+2, profit USD 16,973
Trade #3295742: opened 23:38 UTC+2, profit USD 9,416
Trade #3296001: opened 23:44 UTC+2, profit USD 8,429
All closed 6 February at 02:20 UTC+2 when Take Profit was hit. Platform daily break: 00:00-01:05 UTC+2. Primary position opened 3h 40min BEFORE the break. All positions closed 75+ minutes AFTER the break ended.
On 7 February 2026, 1xTrade confiscated USD 31,238.00 claiming trades violated policy on "gap exploitation." This is false — timestamps prove positions were not opened just before close nor closed immediately after reopen. The platform also charged swap fees on all three trades, confirming they were treated as valid until profitable. Balance reduced to USD 0.53.
I sent 6 emails to [email protected] — all unanswered. 1xTrade then offered the funds back as a non-withdrawable bonus, conditional on deleting my reviews first. I refused. Complaints filed with KNF, FSRA Saint Lucia, Interpol, and FBI IC3. 1x Trade Ltd. (Saint Lucia IBC No. 2025-00218) holds no regulatory licence in any jurisdiction.
"Best Broker"
What do you like best about 1x Trade?
The best trading platform and the fact that it uses metatrader
What would you improve about 1x Trade?
I think 1xtrade is the best trading platform out there and there isn't anything I would change or think needs improving.
Overall
