Re Octa Fx still not accepting or allowing UK customers to log into their account from the UK. On your webpage you display the following ;


2016 OctaFX UK Limited, reg. no. 08849391
Address: OctaFX UK Limited 9 Devonshire Square London EC2M 4YF
OctaFX UK Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
Registration number 679306

As you are stating FCA regulation the delay in allowing UK customers to verify accounts should surely be over? Or are you infact not FCA regulated? If you are FCA regulated why are you not accepting UK customers?

Dear Husker,

We understand that you're quite disappointed with the fact that the procedure of acceptance UK customers lasts so long, but we assure you that OctaFX is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the details you specified are right. We are waiting for FCA to allow us to accept UK clients. We are very sorry that you have to wait so long, but we make everything possible to speed up this process.

Best regards,
OctaFX Rep.

To be clear, I already have live trading accounts with other brokers. I only want to see if the allegations of dishonesty levelled against you are true or not. FYI adopting a condescending tone with a potential customer enquiring asto why you claim FCA regulation yet for SOME reason are not accepting UK customers, is NOT what I call good customer service. Infact your behaviour on this thread has left me deeply suspicious of you as a broker. A year after stating the process of FCA regulation was underway you are still displaying FCA regulation whilst not accepting UK customers, without explanation (until today), this is the very definition of shady behaviour.What I want to do is test you as a broker on a live account. If you pull something dishonest I will join the chorus of voices condemning you. I have found both your demo accounts trading conditions and the layout of your website excellent. Everything I want in a Broker. Your customer service/the way you interact with potential customers is however disgusting. Next time we speak, DO NOT adopt a condescending tone with me. Have I made myself clear?

OctaFX delights traders with new accounts offering
​
OctaFX, the forex broker renowned for offering the lowest spreads in the industry, today announced a complete revamp of its trading accounts and conditions. In its bid to constantly respond to customer requests and improve trading performance, OctaFX has further enhanced conditions on both MT4 and cTrader accounts as well as launching a brand new MT5 Pro Account.

OctaFXs new Pro Account is designed to suit traders who wish to take advantage of the benefits of the new MT5 platform. MT5 offers numerous new features including an enhanced new user interface, the ability to hedge, opening multiple trades for the same symbol including in opposing directions, and the ability to place Buy Stop Limit and Sell Stop Limit orders, to name but a few.

In addition to enabling trading on MT5, OctaFXs new Pro Account provides users with even lower floating spreads, starting from 0.2 pips. And for those interested in additional currency pairs, indices (Nikkei 225, Nasdaq 100 S&P 500 Dow Jones 30), precious metals or crude oil, a total of 44 instruments are now included. The Pro account is commission-free and the combination of a minimal volume limit of 0.01 lot, 1:200 leverage and advanced MT5 analysis tools enables traders to adapt their strategy to any market conditions.

OctaFX has combined the best features of their old Micro and ECN accounts into their newly enhanced MT4 Micro account. These include spreads starting from 0.4 pips, a minimal volume of 0.01 lot and 1:500 leverage. The number of trading instruments available with the MT4 Micro account has been increased to include 28 currency pairs as well as gold and silver. New MT4 ECN accounts are no longer available but existing users of old account types (MT4 or cTrader) can continue to use their old accounts for trading.

Traders interested in direct market access are now able to select OctaFXs revamped cTrader ECN account. This account features raw spreads from 0.0 pips, competitive commissions and 35 currency pairs along with gold and silver and level II quotes.

We have listened attentively to our customers and developed a suite of accounts designed not only to cater to almost all our traders needs, but also to provide industry-leading trading conditions, said an OctaFX spokesperson. We have built a reputation of putting our customers first and we are thrilled to be able to once again delight traders on OctaFX.com with unrivalled trading conditions.

Here is what some OctaFX customers are saying:

I love the Pro account! It has extremely low spreads, includes more instruments and its much more interesting to have CFD and Energies in the OctaFX platform.

Muhammad Hafizul Abdul Rashid​

I love the spreads. I do notice there is platinum and palladium on there and 1:200 is good leverage, I think it is safe This pro account has indices, OctaFX has never offered those before. I'm very happy.

Maxim Ferberov ​

What kind of technical issue which delayed withdrawal almost 3 days up to now. Is technical issue only for me, means a withdrawal by other trader with big amount for me had no technical issue?
