STP Trading Review — Is STP Trading a Scam?

Forensics Source Group is not affiliated to this broker. We do not hold this account, we cannot close a balance, and we do not phone you as this firm.

Yes. STP Trading is a Mauritius-licence-claiming MT5 forex and CFD broker (previously stp.forex) marketing “anti-margin-call” credit, bonuses and signals, with a history of withdrawal-never-received complaints and inflated self-published ratings. The notices are written once, in the block below. If you paid stptrading.io, the date and how you paid are the part this review cannot see.

The record

What the notices say

  • Claims a Mauritius FSC licence (GB26206302) plus a Saint Lucia registration, and admits “we were previously www.stp.forex” — brand and domain churn that breaks complaint trails, in a confusing brand family with separately complained-about “STP Funded / STP Markets” namesakes.
  • Publishes “4.8/5 rated by 12,000+ traders” on its own site while its actual Trustpilot is roughly 3.0/5 across 35 reviews — a fabricated rating on its own homepage.
  • Unusual hooks mask B-book risk: an “Anti-Margin Call” survival credit, “Hedge at a Negative Margin Level”, a 20% welcome bonus and free daily signals, with 1:300 leverage.
  • Support runs through WhatsApp/Telegram on a +971 UAE number with 8-language live chat — a boiler-room contact pattern; one complaint records a deposit marked “paid” that never arrived, met with “send an email.”
Loss or this pattern

A trading loss and this pattern are not the same

A trading loss is a real position that moved against you. You can see the trade. The pattern below is a different event.

  • withdrawal marked paid but the money never arrives
  • fee or swap deductions disputed for months, excused as “the LP took it”
  • account-manager reliance via WhatsApp/Telegram
  • brand renames (stp.forex → stptrading.io) that break complaint trails
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you close my STP Trading account, or have the person who phoned me call again?

Forensics Source Group is not affiliated to this broker. We do not hold an account at stptrading.io. We cannot confirm a balance, close an account, or phone you as STP Trading.

STP Trading says I must pay a tax or fee before withdrawing — should I?

No. A real broker deducts a fee from the balance. A new payment to release your own money is a second charge. Keep the message that asked for it.

What do you do with what I send?

We place it next to the record above. Where the same payment shows up from other people, those files can sit together as a class action. The first look is free.
