Warning: The Italian CONSOB Blacklists UeTrades as a Scam

Warning: The FCA Flags HobitalFxTrade as a Fraud

| 2022-08-25

Abstract：An unregulated forex broker will not follow the industry's practices, and thus investors are likely to lose their money.

HobitalFxTrade (HobitalFxTrade.com) is a completely unknown website claims to be “one of largest forex brand”. Additionally, it is claiming to offer a trusted and secure trading platform. But fact-checking confirms that the company is a scam website that has already attracted the attention of the FCA.

An unlicensed UK-based company

HobitalFxTrade claims it is one of the world's leading Forex CFD provider and is providing fair and transparent Forex trading to active traders, but actually it has no authorization to do so.

It presents no regulatory information. Headquartered in the UK, the entity must be registered and regulated by the FCA. But no result matched with HobitalFxTrade was found on the regulator. Instead, we only found an unauthorised record.

The FCA flags HobitalFxTrade as a scam

On 5 July 2022, the financial watchdog added HobitalFxTrade to its alert list, saying that this firm is not authorised by it and is targeting people in the UK.

Forex accounts with leverage up to 1:1000

As you can see, HobitalFxTrade provides four types of forex trading accounts, with leverage ranging between 1:300 and 1:1000. According to the laws and rules of the UK financial authority, it is not possible for a UK-regulated broker to have such risky levels of leverage.

An unregulated broker is clearly not authorized to operate in any regulated country.

SBI Chief Expects 50 bps RBI Rate Hike in December, Sees Consumer Credit Cooling

State Bank of India (SBI) Chairman C S Setty expects the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to raise its policy rate by another 50 basis points in December, and then to hold until March 31. He made the projection at the Business Standard BFSI Insight Summit 2026 in Mumbai on Monday, according to Business Standard. A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point, so 50 basis points equal half a percentage point. The repo rate is the rate at which the RBI lends to commercial banks and is the main lever of Indian monetary policy. Setty's number is a forecast from the head of India's largest bank, not an RBI announcement, and the central bank has not committed to a fixed path.

India's Forex Cushion Shrank $5 Billion. Now Look At What Foreign Investors Still Hold

In a shocking development, India's forex reserves declined $5.011 billion in the week ended October 16 to $721.016 billion. This represented an extension of decline from their September peak, according to the Moneycontrol report. The number shown above is half of a comparison circulating on X. The soft half reprsents the one the figure is compared against: total foreign institutional holdings of Indian stocks ($775 Billion+), notified through an X post with 1,260 followers. The gap arrived after subtracting one from the other is under $55 billion. The post remarked the two figures "dangerously close" and questions India's assertion of having built a massive cash balance to act as exit ramp for foreign capital. Here is what can be checked, what cannot, and where each piece lands in a USD/INR position.
