Fraud Complaints

I have two accounts on the exchange, one account 2200 minus 2127, and one account 15693 minus 15200. Before the Federal Reserve announced at 2pm on September 29th, I had two times to avoid a price drop, but the exchange expanded my expenses and stole nearly $16k of my TK, while the small TK minus 2K2 was no problem. This is a scam organization. Intentionally stealing money from investors.

Dear Team, I am writing to solicit for your assistance. My Name is Lawrence Aitokhuehi from Nigeria.

I traded for about a month and made some loses and the balance on my trading account reduce to $720. On the 06/09/2022 I request for bank wire withdrawal of $520 to my bank account, on the thinkmarkets platform from the balance $720. The next day thinkmarkets suspend my account, withdraw all the funds and send me a mail that they have cleared my account to settle the difference in the conversion rate as at when the account was funded (attached are the mail). They also went further to state that the funds debited from my naira account by zotapay was not fully credited to them (mail also attached) They are saying the correct exchange rate that ought to have been used by Zotapay is N1,181.00 to $1.00. mail also attached. In the history of finance, USD/Naira rate has never exceeded N427 to $1.00 on our bank transactions. Zotapay is not responding to my mails sent to them since this whole thing stated May family is devastated because of this and the account officer assigned to me is no longer taking my calls and replying my chat. Please I need help to recover my funds as $700 is a lot of money in Nigeria Please let me know if you need any other information to assist me as I am in pain hear I need justice.

    What type of broker is ThinkMarkets?

    Dimension Advantages Disadvantages
    Broker Model ThinkMarkets offers tight spreads and fast execution due to its Market Making model. As a counterparty to its clients' transactions, ThinkMarkets has a potential conflict of interest that can lead to decisions that are not in the best interest of clients.

    ThinkMarkets is a Market Making (MM) broker, which means that it acts as a counterparty to its clients in trading operations. That is, instead of connecting directly to the market, ThinkMarkets acts as an intermediary and takes the opposite position to its clients. As such, it can offer faster order execution speed, tighter spreads and greater flexibility in terms of offering leverage. However, this also means that ThinkMarkets has a certain conflict of interest with its clients, as their profits come from the difference between the bid and ask price of assets, which could lead to them making decisions that are not necessarily in the best interest of their clients. It is important for traders to be aware of this dynamic when trading with ThinkMarkets or any other MM broker.

    General Information and Regulation of ThinkMarkets

    ThinkMarkets is a forex and CFD broker founded in Australia in 2010. The company has multiple regulations, including the UK FCA, Cyprus CYSEC, Australia ASIC and Seychelles FSA. This means that traders can be confident that ThinkMarkets meets strict safety and regulatory standards in all jurisdictions where it operates.

In addition, trading of some instruments may be limited in certain geographic regions. Overall, the wide range of trading instruments available is an important advantage of ThinkMarkets, but it is important to be aware of the possible limitations and additional costs associated with some instruments.

    Trading platform offered by ThinkMarkets

    Advantages Disadvantages
    MetaTrader4 is a widely used trading platform with a wealth of technical analysis resources. MetaTrader4 is not the most advanced trading platform available on the market.
    MetaTrader5 offers additional features, such as the ability to trade futures and options. MetaTrader5 may have a steeper learning curve for new traders
    ThinkTrader is ThinkMarkets' proprietary trading platform, designed to provide a superior trading experience. ThinkTrader may have fewer technical analysis resources compared to MetaTrader4 and MetaTrader5.
    All three trading platforms offer fast and reliable execution of trades. By offering three different platforms, it can be overwhelming for traders to choose the right platform for their needs.

    ThinkMarkets offers its clients three different trading platforms: MetaTrader4, MetaTrader5 and ThinkTrader. MetaTrader4 is one of the most widely used trading platforms in the world and has earned a great reputation due to its ease of use and wide range of technical analysis tools and resources.

    ThinkMarkets maximum leverage

    Advantages Disadvantages
    Possibility of making significant profits with a low initial investment Increased risk of significant losses if the market moves against the trader
    Increases flexibility and trading opportunities Increased exposure to market risk and unexpected events
    Allows traders to diversify their trading portfolio Can lead to over-leveraging and over-exposure to risks
    Allows traders to maximize their earning potential in favorable market conditions Requires adequate risk management to avoid significant losses
    Ideal for experienced traders who can handle high level of risk Not suitable for inexperienced traders or traders who do not fully understand the risk associated with leverage.

    Leverage is an important tool in forex trading, as it allows traders to increase their buying power and have access to greater trading opportunities. At ThinkMarkets, the maximum leverage offered is 1:500, which means that traders can control a position up to 500 times the size of their account. However, it is important to note that high leverage also carries a higher risk, as the potential losses are also multiplied by the same proportion. Therefore, it is important that traders understand the risks associated with high leverage and use appropriate risk management tools when trading with high levels of leverage.

    Deposit and Withdrawal: methods and fees

    Multiple deposit and withdrawal options, including bank transfer, credit/debit cards, cryptocurrencies and e-wallets such as Skrill and Neteller. ThinkMarkets may pass on charges from third-party vendors to customers, which could result in additional costs.

    I REALLY appreciate ThinkMarkets’ 7/24 customer support, always helping me withdraw my funds on weekends. Spreads are lower than most brokers’ offerings.

    Better than expected! At first, I was a little worried about those bad reviews on the Internet, but under the strong recommendation of my friend, I opened the demo account they provided, which was particularly good, and their customer support always helped me solve problems promptly, five-star praise!

    I have used Zhihui's standard account, the spread is not bad, there is no slippage, and free VPS service is also provided. But I need to remind you that there is no account manager for the standard account, but fortunately they still have 24/7 customer service support.

    My advice is not to trade cryptocurrency with this broker, or you’ll be offered the highest spreads of all Australia CFD brokers, spreads on some pairs even crazily high (I doubt they maliciously manipulate spreads). Their proprietary platform-Thinktrader is very unstable, you can hardly see the candles on daily chart, and they never realize this problem and address it.

    ThinkMarkets claims to be registered in Australia and has various regulatory licences. It seems to be a qualified broker, right? Quite the opposite! Hidden under the glamorous exterior are extremely high fees, negative slippage, and withdrawal denials.
