Even worse, MogaFX's parent company is registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, where the Financial Services Authority does not authorize or supervise brokers operating there in any way. This is undoubtedly a notable red flag.
MogaFX advertises that it mainly offers four different asset classes, covering Forex, CFDs, Indices and Commodities.

Apart from demo accounts, MogaFX claims to offer four types of live trading accounts: Standard, VIP, ECN, and Raw Spread.
The minimum initial deposit amounts stated are as follows: $1,000 for the Standard account, $10,000 for the VIP and Raw-spread account, and $50,000 for the ECN account.
Account Type | Min Deposit |
Standard | $1,000 |
VIP | $10,000 |
ECN | $50,000 |
Raw-spread | $10,000 |
In comparison, licensed brokers typically allow setting up a starter account with a minimum deposit of $100 or even less.
MogaFX offers flexible leverage for all account types, allowing you to choose from 1:100, 1:200, 1:400, or 1:500. However, it is important to remember that the higher the leverage, the greater the risk of losing your deposited capital. Leverage can work in your favor, but it can also work against you

The platforms available for trading at MogaFX are the world's leading MetaTrader4 and MetaTrader5. Both are accessible via Web Trader and mobile apps (iOS and Android). However, we do not believe that this unregulated broker will truly provide reliable platforms.

MogaFX claims to offer numerous deposit and withdrawal methods, including Bank Wire Transfer, Perfect Money, Fasapay, Online Banking, CoinPayments, GCPAY, B2B PAY, Sticpay, Skrill, and Neteller.
The minimum initial deposit requirement is as high as $1,000. However, there is no mention of the minimum withdrawal amount.
Regarding withdrawal fees, they seem illogical, with different fees charged based on the withdrawal method, such as a $25 fee for wire transfers.
