Thank you for letting us know about the problem. We deeply regret that you were having a hard time trying to deposit, and you couldn't reach out to our support team. Unfortunately, we couldn't identify you on our system and look into your previous inquiries since you didn't provide your account details in your review.

Please note that generally, it takes a couple of hours for bank transfers to be processed. However, we ask you to allow us extra time when our financial department handles a high number of requests. There could be different causes of why your payment is delayed and not reflected in your account. This requires an investigation, and we strongly encourage you to send us your payment proof if your deposit wasn't credited into your account after 24 hours have passed. These actions could help our team look up your payment and process it.

I have a lot of experience with various brokers, but octafx is the absolut best.

Low spreads.
Great bonus conditions.
Very fast withdrawal without any fees..
Good customer service.

Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback about our brokerage. We try really hard to provide the best trading experience for our customers here at octafx. Reading reviews like yours is a great hint that we’re providing our customers with the services that meet their needs, and we truly couldn’t be happier that that’s the case for you.

As we’re already addressed your complaint in the thread you’ve created here on FPA, please allow us to echo what we’ve said here.

Thank you for your patience while we consulted your case with our team. After looking into the matters you brought to our attention, we can see that the cards you used to fund your trading account for the first and second time were different.

Please note that in such cases, our financial department may request verification of the second card to ensure it belongs to you and not to a third party, as all third-party transactions are strictly prohibited here at octafx. Therefore, the procedure is fully in line with our security measures.

We cannot merely block the possibility of conducting further transactions because in cases where funds do belong to a third party, we have to ensure that they’re refunded to the originating account. Therefore, it’s the trading activity that must be restricted to ensure that such money is not used for trading.

Looking into your trading history, we can see that the orders you're referring to were closed 17 hours after you got back access to your account. However, those orders could have been closed before the stop out occurred either in profit or with less loss as the two hours of account locking did not impact them. You decided to trade in the same direction, and it eventually led to the stop out. There were no issues from our side, and your orders were executed as per the market conditions. Unfortunately, there are no grounds for compensation/reimbursement as it was solely your decision to continue trading.

We want to remind you that despite this incident, you're always welcomed to contact us anytime, and we'll be more than happy to hear from you and help with any questions you may have.

Kind regards,
octafx rep.

I have been trading with this useless trader for 3 months now and im becoming more and more worried about the way this company handles my query or any issues.
1. They say there will be no swaps charged to accounts having funded more than 10k.
But they still keep charging the swaps and later asks me to provide details against the wrongly charged swaps. As in I'm working for octa FX and I will keep all this information ready for them.

2. They don't have a trading practice called partially closing a trade. If you are making losses on the trade you cant close it partially to minimize the loss. Rather it will book the entire loss and again open a new trade of the remaining lot. This is so weird and when I spoke to my account manager he gave fake promises of being working on the resolution.

3. They treat their customer with the least priority and I'm still to get my money reversed from them which now more than 50 days.

Nov 6, 2020 - 1 star octafx is a fraud company.. Beware.. You can lose money even without trading. There is no way you can contact there finance team. It's only the customer support team that never has any clue of what is happening.. In my case, 2 transactions of INR50000 got debited from my account on the 5th october 2020 but did not credit to my trading account. Since then I'm chatting with them every day.. But getting the same response .." madam we have requested for update sorry for the delay".. Every single day they are responding with the same message. After 1 month today on 05th nov, I asked them to arrange a call back from the account manager, when that human called me he was clueless about what is happening on my issue. He said he is following up with the finance team but he was not ready to provide a single email communication regarding the same. Still, no one knows what will happen to my funds. They don't have a call-in number. Only chat support. I have been trading with multiple traders and this is the worst of all. You cant talk to them at all. They don't respond to emails.. I'm very frustrated..

Reply by octafx rep submitted nov 20, 2020 dear shaziya shaikh,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're sorry to read that you had trouble depositing your funds at octafx. We've looked into your review, and as we can see, it is still being investigated by our financial department. We can also see that you've recently mentioned on social media that one of the transactions got back successfully, but there's still one missing. We're extremely sorry that it's taking so long, and we apologize for all the inconvenience you may have faced as a result. Please note that we’re still exchanging with the payment processor and are waiting for updates to provide you with as soon as new information reveals itself.

We wish to assure you that we’re committed to resolving this issue as soon as possible but want to ask you to allow us a bit more time. We understand how uncomfortable you may feel about the matter, and we want to tell you that we take it very seriously. We'll do everything that it takes to prevent such cases in the future and reduce the processing times. Please bear with us and remember that our customer support is constantly checking your case and they will be more than happy to provide you with the latest details.

We're looking forward to hearing from you soon. And we hope that it won't take much time to receive your funds back.

We deeply regret to read about your dissatisfaction with our services. We'll be more than happy to receive feedback from you about what could be improved, considering that the issue with swaps has been resolved and you were compensated.

As for the partial order closure, we're aware of the issue. However, it's not something we could influence and fix immediately as it would require an extensive amount of time and effort once such feedback is passed to the relevant department. However, we want to ensure you that we take your suggestions and recommendations very seriously, and we'll make sure they're all addressed and considered by our team.

We would also appreciate it if you could share what could be improved regarding our customer support services to meet your standards. It's one of our top priorities to ensure that we provide the most convenient trading experience to our customers and everything is done to your satisfaction.

Please send us a message anytime soon. Our team is always here for you, and we'll be happy to hear from you whenever you have any questions.

Promotion rules

Deposit bonus can only be claimed by a verified customer.

The bonus amount available is 10% to 50% for each deposit amount. You can also claim 100% bonus during certain special offer periods.

Bonuses are available in multiples of 10%, so you can claim 10%, 30%, 50% or 100% on a deposit, but not 11%, 25%, or 47%, for example.

The bonus cannot be added to internal transfer deposits and to deposits from contests/promotions, etc. Unless stated otherwise.

Deposit bonus shall not be credited in case account free margin is less than your bonus amount.

Ctrader deposit bonus can only be claimed by a verified customer.

The client can claim a deposit bonus on each deposit he makes. The bonus amount available is 10% to 50% for each deposit amount. You can also claim 100% bonus during certain special offer periods.

Bonuses are available in multiples of 10%, so you can claim 10%, 30%, 50% or 100% on a deposit, but not 11%, 25%, or 47%, for example.

"total bonus" denotes the total amount of bonus in a client’s account. Total bonus comprises all the bonuses claimed by the client for the trading account. Total bonus is affected when a part of the total bonus is withdrawn or cancelled or when additional bonuses are credited to the client’s account.

"active bonus" denotes the amount of bonus which can be used to open positions by adding it to the account’s equity. The amount of active bonus cannot exceed 100% of the account’s unrealized profit & loss + balance, therefore this value will fluctuate according to live conditions.

Ctrader deposit bonus can’t be used instead of, separately or before the account’s balance. If the account’s balance is zero, so will be the amount of active bonus.

It is required to trade (bonus amount)/2 (bonus amount divided by two) standard lots to be able to withdraw a bonus.

The deposit bonus cannot be added to internal transfer deposits and to deposits from contests/promotions, etc., unless stated otherwise.

The deposit bonus shall be added to the total bonus in your account and remain there until the volume requirements are met or the bonus is canceled. After the required volume is traded the bonus will be withdrawn from the total bonus in your account and an equal amount of money will be added to your account’s balance.

The bonus for each deposit is considered a separate bonus and will have its own volume requirements.

Volume calculation starts from the first bonus and continues consecutively. This means that you can't withdraw later bonuses before you trade the required volume for the first bonus, and so on. The volume calculation starts from the moment the bonus is credited to the client’s account. The required volume for each deposit is calculated separately.

The bonus can be withdrawn ONLY if by the moment of lots calculation, the bonus is still present in the account. If a client had traded the required volume, but the bonus has already been canceled, it would not be added or compensated.

If the trader's own funds are withdrawn after the bonus has been credited, the bonus will be canceled.

A client can cancel deposit bonus at any time. Once deposit bonus is cancelled, it cannot be reinstated.

Octafx may reject client's bonus application(s) at any time without prior notification or providing reasons for such decision.

Octafx may cancel a client's bonus at any time without prior notification.

Any situation not described in these rules shall be subject to the company's decision.

Octafx reserves the right to change, update or cancel this promotion with notification in the company news.

Bonuses explained in examples:
ex.1: you make a 1000 USD deposit and get a 500 USD bonus. Your account balance will be 1000 USD, equity 1000+500=1500 USD, total bonus 500 USD. To be able to withdraw this bonus you will need to trade 500/2=250 standard lots, without time limit. Later you make another 800 USD deposit to your account and get a 400 USD bonus. Your balance will be 1800 (1000 + 800) USD, equity will be 2700 (1000+500+800+400) USD, total bonus will be 900 (500+400) USD. To be able to withdraw the second bonus you will need to trade another 400/2 standard lots.

In this example after you trade first 250 standard lots and complete the volume requirements for the first deposit bonus in your account, the bonus amount (500 USD) will be withdrawn from the total bonus, leaving its value at 400 (900 -500) USD. At the same time the equal amount of money (500 USD) will be added to your account’s balance.

Ex.2: you make 200 USD deposit and get 100 USD bonus. The balance in your account will be 200 USD, equity 300 USD, total bonus 100 USD, active bonus 100 USD. Then you close 1 unfortunate trade with a loss of 110 USD. Account balance will be 90 USD, total bonus will still be 100 USD, but active bonus will be also 90 USD now, therefore equity will be 180 USD.

A comparison of commissions: octafx, pepperstone & cityindex

When picking an online broker to invest with, you’ll want to take a close look at their fees, charges and commissions. Some brokers offer a zero-commission model, which sounds like a big positive, but brokers have to make money somehow. A no-commission broker generally takes a profit from the spreads, and might also levy other account charges.

Take the time to check commission charges carefully when you’re making a broker comparison. Today we’re comparing commissions at three popular online brokers: octafx, pepperstone and cityindex.

Octafx

Octafx offer a commission free model when you trade with them using their MT4 and MT5 platforms. This means you don’t have to worry about commission charges on these platforms, but do keep an eye on the spreads. As already mentioned, that’s how you pay your broker fees, when you trade commission free.

Octafx do charge commission when you trade using their ctrader platform. Trading commission on ctrader is USD0.03/0.01 lot for most major forex pairs such as EUR/USD and GBP/USD. Remember, there will also be spreads to consider, alongside the commission fee, so factor all costs in to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Pepperstone

At pepperstone, commission charges depend on the type of account you open, the platform you use, and what you are trading. With the standard account, there are no commissions. With the razor account, you will pay a small commission, which will be reflected in the fact that spreads will generally be considerably lower. In fact, pepperstone boast that during times of high liquidity, spreads can go as low a 0 pips with your razor account, on many popular forex pairs.

The razor account, however, charges a set commission fee of $3.50 for each standard lot that you buy, and a further $3.50 when you sell. This is calculated pro-rata for those trading mini lots or micro lots. Pepperstone, like octafx, also charge a commission when you trade with ctrader (as opposed to using the MT4 and MT5 platforms). The ctrader commission is charged at 3.5% of the base currency being traded.

Cityindex

With cityindex, commissions will again depend on a number of factors. This broker operates a commission free model on most contracts for difference (cfds), forex trading and spread betting. With these instruments, broker profits will be taken from the spreads.

They do, however, charge a commission on CFD equities, which vary by market. For most UK and european equities, there is a 0.08% commission, and for most asian equities it is 0.2%. There is variation between equities, markets and platforms, so it is important to check commission rates within the market information sheets which can be found on each trading platform.

Things to remember

We hope you found our comparison of commission fees helpful, but remember commissions are just one type of fee, and it’s important to assess all the costs you’re likely to incur with any online broker. Factor in the spreads on top of commission fees, where necessary, and also look for other hidden fees such as administration, inactivity or withdrawal fees.
