About Tradewise (TradewiseFX)

Tradewise/Tradewise‑FX operates the website and offers trading across six asset classes—including Forex, cryptocurrencies, indices, stocks, energy, and commodities—with over 500 instruments available. It advertises several account tiers (Mini, Starter, Smart Trader, Pro Trader, Platinum) with minimum deposits ranging from €500 to €20,000, and claims tight spreads and fast execution. ()

The broker is unregulated and has received a warning from the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as an unauthorised firm. The FCA warning, dated 18 December 2023, states that Tradewise/Tradewise‑FX is providing financial services or products without permission. As a result, clients would not be protected by the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). ()

Additional industry resources categorize Tradewise/Tradewise‑FX as unregulated, potentially part of a network of clone websites, not registered with the US National Futures Association (NFA), and advise avoiding engagement due to safety concerns. , ()
