excellent.
bom atendimento
У меня возникла проблема со снятием денег из-за того что система через которую пополнял счет отсутствует в списке систем на снятие. Две недели компания не только не помогла с решением, но вообще не удосужилась на ответ.…

Bottom line
InstaForex is a niche-popularity choice among traders worldwide, scoring 6.04/10 on our scale. Opening an account takes just a few minutes — start with the button above.
Strengths
- Long operating history since 2007 with a large claimed global user base (7M+ per company marketing — company-sourced figure, not independently verified)
- Very low entry barrier: $1 minimum deposit via Cent accounts, useful for beginners testing the platform
- Standard MT4/MT5 availability (desktop, web, mobile) plus a mobile app that lists Thai as a supported interface language
Weaknesses
- Withdrawal reliability is the dominant, majority-confirmed complaint across ForexPeaceArmy, Trustpilot, WikiFX, and Thai forums (see withdrawalReputation) — delays, extra 'verification' demands at withdrawal time, and disputed bonus-clawback deductions from withdrawable profit
- ForexPeaceArmy's own site-wide verdict for InstaForex is 'scam' / 'recommends against depositing'
- WikiFX assigns an unusually low industry score (reported 1.65/10) citing high complaint volume — single-source figure, included for context not as sole basis
- User reports (2+ independent complaint threads) allege live/executed spreads run roughly 2-3x wider than marketed figures — a spread-transparency concern
- Malaysia's Securities Commission added InstaForex and sibling brand InstaTrade (same InstaFintech Group) to its unauthorized/unlicensed-entity warning list on 11 Nov 2024 — reported by FinanceMagnates (independent trade press), reasonably credible even though not primary-regulator-fetched
- CySEC fined the EU entity (Instant Trading EU Ltd) €130,000 in 2018 for multiple compliance failings — historical, EU entity only, but relevant to overall corporate conduct pattern
- No native Thai Baht payment rail (no local bank/e-wallet rails, no TrueMoney, no direct Thai bank transfer) — Thai users must route through international wire/e-wallet/crypto, adding FX-conversion cost and settlement delay versus Thai-native competitors
- Up to 1:1000 leverage offered on the offshore entity — elevated blow-up risk for novice retail traders, flagged as a risk factor by multiple independent reviewers
- InstaForex itself publishes a scam-alert warning about clone/phishing websites impersonating its domain — a third-party impersonation risk Thai users should be warned about, separate from InstaForex's own conduct
- Bonus terms (e.g., a heavily-discussed $1500 USD bonus) are repeatedly described by users as carrying unrealistic trading conditions/changing terms that block profit withdrawal — a pattern directly relevant to any future IB rebate-tier trust analysis
