【纪姿含】3.19为什么会有黑平台存在？应怎么辨别？

Althoughforeign exchangeMargin trading has been entering the Chinese market for many years, but due to factors such as insufficient regulation, Chinese traders still lack understanding of foreign exchange margin trading and the ability to identify the legitimacy of foreign exchange platforms.


Therefore, many illegal elements both domestically and internationally have seized this point and carried out some illegal operations.


For example, purchasing pirated trading software, registering a pirated company with the same name as a foreign company, and then extensively using other people's regulatory accounts to promote and lure foreign exchange financial investors' investment funds in China, engaging in dark box operations such as money laundering, making investors' funds unable to be guaranteed.


Among them, interrupting trading servers, significantly sliding points to collect much higher spreads than normal regulations, and prohibiting customers from making deposits are commonly used methods on black platforms. Under the game rules of small to big, once customers obtain high profits, "black platforms" and "black intermediaries" will suffer serious losses and choose to pat their buttocks and "run away".


Why do these "black platforms" exist?


The first point, as we mentioned earlier, is mainly due to the lack of regulation, which has led to the low-cost emergence of black platforms. However, the criminal costs of some illegal brokers abroad have been continuously increasing in recent years, and some illegal institutions are often investigated and fined millions of dollars by regulatory authorities. Therefore, many foreign exchange black platforms are even more focused on Chinese investors.


The second point is that the word 'li' comes first. Margin trading allows customers to 'fight big with small gains' and have a high leverage ratio. High profits have led many traders to flock to seek improper profits.


Usually, the methods used by black platforms include:


　　1.Various temptations: The platform conducts a large amount of product marketing, using verbal promises such as high profits and high returns as gifts, and even false high return cases to lure traders to open accounts and deposit money.


　　2.Deposit and withdrawal trap: When depositing funds into a private account or after depositing funds, the security of the client's funds is not guaranteed. When giving out money, do not give up the money and do everything possible to make investors lose money.


　　3.Selling trading signals; Relevant institutions or individual traders use their rich experience and trading abilities to attract customers, even form groups to deceive customers, promote huge returns, and so on. Deceived customers are attracted to pay fees, and companies and individuals who engage in fraud either choose to abscond with their payments or occasionally recommend good transactions to maintain a long-term scam.


　　4.Abnormal sliding point. There are also forward and reverse sliding points, but generally speaking, the sliding points mentioned by people are unfavorable situations for traders. Any legitimate platform will and should have a sliding point, and the difference between legitimate and black platforms is the time when the sliding point appears. Regular platforms will not slide at regular market prices, but should only exist in large market prices. Black platforms will control whether to slide or not, leading to abnormal pricing.


So, how do you identify black platforms?


　　1.First, pay attention to checking the movement of your own funds. At present, there is no open foreign exchange margin trading in China. If domestic traders want to speculate in foreign exchange, they can only open an account for trading online through foreign or Hong Kong foreign exchange platforms. Therefore, traders need to transfer funds overseas, and if they require their clients to transfer funds to their domestic accounts, it is undoubtedly a black platform.


　　2.Use trading software for verification. at presentMT4Trading software is the mainstream of the foreign exchange market, most of which are formalForeign exchange transactionsPlatforms generally provideMT4Trading software. And foreign exchange black platforms usually do not haveMT4Trading accounts or providing false informationMT4account(This can be achieved by logging into legitimate channelsMT4Platform to verify)。


　　3.View regulatory information on foreign exchange platforms. Foreign exchange black platforms often claim to be under supervision, and regulatory information can be accessed from regulatory agencies' websites, allowing investors to check for authenticity.


　　4.Check if you have formal credentials and qualifications. A legitimate foreign exchange trading platform is absolutely qualified with formal documents and can provide them to customers for review. Some black platforms, on the other hand, are only 'leather bag companies' that engage in business through backdoor transactions, often prone to the risk of absconding with funds.


　　5.Check if your trading funds are being held by a third party. Currently, most regulatory agencies have requirements for customer fund segregation. If the customer discovers during the transaction that the account accepting the deposit is a personal account or a mainland company account, it is highly likely to encounter a black platform. Moreover, the bank where the trader's funds are held in custody needs to be consistent with the location of the trader's regulatory authority, otherwise the trader's account funds will not be protected by the regulatory authority.


　　6.Check if the various factors that affect trading on the platform are normal, including sliding points, quotes, spreads, trading restrictions, etc. mentioned earlier. Black platforms often encounter situations such as inability to place orders or close positions during the trading process. Some black platforms even engage in illegal manipulation behind the scenes, resulting in losses to traders' funds.


　　7.Verify whether the funds are secure. The most important concern for investors is the issue of fund security. In addition to regulatory agencies and banks, the most important thing is the speed of deposit and withdrawal. The speed of deposit and withdrawal should also be fast, and one to two days is still accepted by technology. However, beyond the time limit of deposit and withdrawal, it is worth investors' deep thinking.


　　8.Customer service. For the fiercely competitive foreign exchange market, a formal trading platform can answer all investors' questions positively, without perfunctory treatment. It also provides various training for investors to meet their needs, at least with the most basic Chinese customer service.
