CMTrading is the worse Ponzi-type scheme I have personal experience with
I have had a really bad experience. I saw SM's advert on an online social media post and started to do my research... I could not find a site like this - and it would've been very helpful if you guys have had this I place then - for I don't think I would have joined if I read the negative statements. PLEASE see what SEC Nigeria has posted!! BEFORE you take any decision READ this "Investigations have revealed that CMTRADING's operations exhibit the typical indicators of a *****ulent Ponzi scheme, including the promise of unusually high returns, heavy reliance on a referral system to sustain pay-outs and desperate requests for subscribers to fund accounts." Out of what I have written below you will see that my experience and conclusion confirm and align with what SEC Nigeria said. I started with the initial $250 deposit on 2022/05/17 and understood the system quickly depositing an additional $1000 on 20/05/2022 and had quite good results. With the prodding from my agent with the $2500 bonus I would get and my previous success I added $5000 on 15/06/2022... through it all the agent kept telling me that the more I put in the more I will profit from it since I will be treated as a VIP and will get access to better information and trends. I did this and up to the point where I deposited $5000 I actually didn't do too bad... I actually made quite decent profits which convinced me to put some more money into the account. The bonusses is also used as a means to convince you to put more money into your account. Once they had my $6250 my troubles started. Yes they did keep to their promise of the bonuses and yes I still had access to the agent assisting me. But once the decisions became bigger and the amounts involved larger - I started loosing money. I hear the excuse on numerous other negative feedback re knowledge and risks. To give a bit of background on myself I come from a financial background and have run a profile in SA for our family with quite reasonable success so I do understand and know how to read and act on trends and movements - so NO I didn't take emotional decisions and NO I didn't take excessive risk. I repeated the strategy that was shown to me and which actually gave me VERY nice returns... Problem was once the agent assisting me got wind that I will not be putting more money into my account and that what I have put in the account would have to grow and become my portfolio - the help become less and less and advice was to follow what I know. This led to BIG losses to such a level that I then lost interest. Next thing I tried to withdraw the funds - only to be told that I cant withdraw - since I have lost my OWN money but not the bonusses that was issued to me. I was ONLY then informed that you have to do 600 transactions on the account for the bonus to be permanently allocated to you, if I were to withdrawn then all bonusses would be forfeited.... Which I then started doing... small consecutive trades with again good results and making good profits, small but on an upward trend. Through all this the people assigned by CMTrading advising me and who kept changing, because of reasons which was never disclosed in full, but basically the bottom feeders, us who don't put a lot of money into the account, get the "not so good" advisors/assistants/agents. Who keep pushing for you to put more money into the account. When they see that their pleas fall on people not willing to take more risk they disappear into the background. At a stage they stated charging me a brokerage fee, when my account was not actively trading, which sparked me into the small regular trades mentioned above. This was more than 12 months after opening the account, and NO the bonusses up until then wasn't reversed as stated in a previous reply to a complaint from another user. Weird thing is as I started to approach 300 deals and making small profits and staying on an upward trend, the next thing all my bonusses was reversed on 19/04/2024... Making my account so small that trading becomes more of a hassle than anything else. So now my account has been dormant for a period I don't even know how long, but definitely more than 12 months. To conclude the following conclusions regarding my personal experience with CMTrading: 1. As long as you are willing to put more and more money into your account they are all ears and willing to assist. 2. Bonusses are used to lure people in to depositing more and more 3. While your willing to refer people you have a trusting relationship with - they are all there 4. The moment you become distant and their promises and sometimes demands don't have an affect - they become one of the WORSE platforms that I have EVER been involved in. STAY AWAY - My final conclusion.

*My “trading profits” vanished when the ****’mers locked me out of my account
*My “trading profits” vanished when the ****’mers locked me out of my account. A desperate search led me Trazevault.org, They didn’t waste time—just asked for the facts and got to work. Less than two days later, They came through. It was the first relief I’d felt in weeks.🌐 trazevault.org.

I was devastated after losing my money to online investment brokers and had nearly given up hope of recovery
I was devastated after losing my money to online investment brokers and had nearly given up hope of recovery. Then I came across Tony Jackson, and it was a game-changer. Tony demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication in helping me recover my lost funds. The process was clear and transparent, and he kept me updated every step of the way. Thanks to his efforts, I was able to regain my hard-earned money. I highly recommend Tony Jackson to anyone in a similar situation—he truly delivers results!" +1 505 - 402 - 0714 Tony*jack*son*3330 At Gmail . Com

IM NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR TRADING
CM Trading could you stop contacting me with all your different numbers, I did specifically told you Im not interested in your trading after I learned that the "Minnie Dlamini newzafrika interview with Mpho" was a **** news kindly focus on resolving your current clients problem or issues and also thanks to hello peter for opening my eyes almost joined this trading thing. Stop with your annoying calls. I'm not going to register with you or any other trading. I asked why do you keep on calling me even when I told you I'm not interested but you failed to explain only to say its great opportunity to make money, to make money for who you[CM Trading] or me? because for me you seem so desperate for people to join like forcefully. Stop calling my number to register with you. I'm not interested or ready to be the victim of the circumstances. Stop calling me even late at night 22:56 no guys stop its realy annoying. Just focus on your current clients and make them happy because a happy client will bring more business to you, you won't even have to call desperately to annoy people on their phone every day every hour with different number even when they tell you they are not interested in registration.

This is probably the worst trading platform. They are very ********* and have extremely high cost spreads roller over fees, etc. They charged me 28 % on my total account roll over fee on one trade and then when I stop trading for 4 months they even occur cost for not trading, 50 $ every second month. They deducted 100$ out of a 800$ account. And when you tried to withdraw your money it is also a struggle, I have been struggling a month now to get my money and there is now number where you can call them locally, only oversees number and then also struggling to get hold of someone, but if they after you to deposit money, you get a call almost every day. Not a happy customer
