Our Verdict at a Glance
TrueGuard verdict: High risk – we advise against depositing funds.
Our assessment of Trading Markets Pro is driven primarily by an offshore registration that offers investors little practical protection. The sections below set out exactly what we checked and what we found.
Who Is Trading Markets Pro?
Trading Markets Pro markets itself as a trading platform promising access to forex, CFDs and related instruments. Client-facing activity is conducted via tradingmarketspro.com. Notably, we could not establish a verifiable physical headquarters – a basic disclosure every legitimate brokerage provides.
The Verification Results
- Licence claims unverified. References to FSA did not resolve to an active, matching authorisation for this trading name in our checks.
- Opaque ownership. The people behind the platform are not clearly identified, and accountability follows ownership – where one is hidden, so is the other.
- Aggressive onboarding. The pattern reported around platforms of this type – unsolicited contact, pressure to deposit quickly, “account managers” pushing upgrades – is a risk signal in itself.
Understanding the Scheme
Offshore registration of the kind behind Trading Markets Pro is a jurisdiction-shopping exercise. Registries in these locations sell anonymity and ask no questions about client money. When a dispute arises, the investor discovers the practical meaning: no ombudsman, no compensation scheme, and a legal system with no interest in a foreign retail client’s claim.
Where Platforms Like This Go Wrong
Complaints associated with operations like Trading Markets Pro follow a familiar arc: deposits and small early “profits” go smoothly, then withdrawal requests meet delays, surprise fees, tax demands or sudden account restrictions. By the time the pattern is obvious, the friendly account manager has usually gone quiet.
If You Have Already Deposited
Recovery from platforms like Trading Markets Pro is possible in many cases – the route depends on the payment rail used. Card payments may qualify for chargeback; bank transfers can sometimes be recalled or disputed through the receiving bank’s fraud team; and cryptocurrency, while harder, can be traced on-chain to exchanges where accounts can be frozen. Preserve every piece of evidence – receipts, emails, chat logs, wallet addresses – and do not pay any “release fee” requested to unlock a withdrawal; that is almost always a second round of the same scheme.

Before You Trust Any Broker
- Verify the licence number directly on the regulator’s own register – never through a link the broker provides.
- Treat guaranteed returns, deposit bonuses and pressure tactics as disqualifying, not negotiable.
- Search the firm’s name together with words like “withdrawal”, “complaint” and “scam” before depositing.
- Test the withdrawal process with a small amount before committing serious funds.
- Confirm a real, verifiable office address and named directors.
The Bottom Line
Weighing everything above, we see no basis on which Trading Markets Pro earns the benefit of the doubt. Legitimate brokers make verification easy; this one makes it impossible.
Before dealing with any trading platform, cross-check its claims against independent sources such as the FCA’s ScamSmart resource. Five minutes of verification is cheaper than any recovery.
