Pocket Broker Information

Registered in South Africa, Pocket Broker, founded in 2017, says to provide worldwide share trading with extremely low entrance criteria. The FSCA marks it as a dubious clone and it seems to be improperly controlled. Though there is little openness, the site encourages low pricing, no registration expenses, and a broad variety of payment options.

Pocket Broker Fees

With features like free registration and no platform fees, Pocket Broker says to provide low-cost trading that can appear less expensive than industry norms.

the broker's QT mode require different approach, so I spent some time on demo before going to a real account! I understood that sometimes it all about choosing the right expiration time, but it aint that easy to trade on QT, but it is interesting feature for sure, payout % is high... As for other modes, they are traditioanl. and I think spreads on fx pairs can be lower

My story with PO TRADE LTD/also called Pocket Broker. This company changes its name from time to time, once to Po Trade Ltd, another time to Pocket Option, and this time to Pocket Broker. I traded correctly and officially, and I have proof of the validity of all my trades, with my profits amounting to more than $115 million, legally and officially. I was surprised when the company blocked my account, stole my profits, and fraudulently manipulated the timing of my trades on my account statement to make it appear that my profits were due to a technical glitch. I have all the documents proving the validity of my trade timing and profits. Therefore, this fraud perpetrated by this company will not benefit them, and I will never give up my rights. I will continue to demand my rights until I recover all my profits. Since trading can lose a person millions of dollars, and even if they make millions of dollars, no company has the right to confiscate any client's profits. Whatever the case.
