Actives Traders Review

About Actives Traders

Actives Traders (various domains including activestraders.com and theactivetrade.com) operates without any valid financial services regulation. The Italian regulator CONSOB issued warnings on 25 July 2022 and 6 October 2022, stating that the firm is not authorized to provide financial services in Italy. Following these warnings, both domains have been flagged as part of a fraudulent scheme (). The company claims registration with Companies House in the UK (registration numbers 04840365 and 05367727), but being registered with Companies House does not equate to having regulatory authorization, nor was it found in the UK Financial Conduct Authority register ().

Actives Traders has advertised extremely high leverage (up to 1:1000) and a minimum deposit of approximately $300–€300, which far exceeds regulatory limits in regions like the UK, EU, and US (). The trading platform is a proprietary web-based solution and lacks advanced features typically found in industry-standard platforms like MetaTrader 4/5 (). The company lists conflicting jurisdictions—the UK and Dominica—yet remains unlicensed and offshore, with no formal oversight or client fund protection ().
