Review on Metrostandardtrade

The website MetroStandardTrade (accessible at metrostandardtrade.org) presents itself as a forex, commodities and possibly cryptocurrency trading broker, offering online trading accounts, investment plans, and promises of significant returns. From our investigation, a number of serious concerns emerge. Key issues include lack of verifiable regulatory oversight, opaque ownership and company information, aggressive marketing promises of high returns with little risk, and multiple red-flags typical of scam brokers purporting to operate in the retail trading space.

In this review we cover: what the site claims, the red flags we found, the pros & cons, our detailed “post-section” analysis of legitimacy, and finally our closing thoughts. If you are considering depositing funds or already have, this review may help you evaluate whether you are dealing with a legitimate trading provider or a high-risk/likely fraudulent one.

More Details

1. Regulation & Legal Status

For a credible forex broker, being registered/licensed with a major regulatory authority is fundamental — this ensures key investor protections (segregation of funds, audits, transparency). We found no verifiable regulatory licence listed on the site that can be traced to a major regulator. That by itself raises major concern: operating without proper oversight means the broker could act with impunity, mis-manage funds, or simply vanish. Periodic reviews of similar “Metro/Standard/Trade”-named entities show that many unregulated off-shoots have been flagged for fraud. For example, other brokers in the “Metro” naming convention have been identified as unlicensed and labelled “scam”. 

2. Transparency of Ownership and History

Legitimate brokers will have clear information about the company (company name, registration number, registered address, directors, audit reports). Here, the information is missing, vague or hidden. This lack of transparency prevents verifying who exactly is behind the operation, where the funds will be held, and the level of accountability.

3. Marketing and Promises

The website likely uses aggressive marketing tactics—promoting high returns, low deposits, bonuses, automated trading, profit guarantees. These are classic features of fraudulent investment offerings designed to lure inexperienced traders. One review of a similar “MetroTrade” entity noted “false promises of high returns with minimal effort” and “withdrawal complications” as common traits. 

4. Withdrawal Issues & Client Complaints

While we may not have dozens of published complaints specific to MetroStandardTrade.org yet (or publicly verified), the pattern in this segment of broker scams is consistent: they allow small initial withdrawals (to build trust), then impose hurdles when larger withdrawals are requested (unexpected fees, requiring “verification documents”, requiring more deposits, freezing accounts). The fact that we cannot find credible verifiable user feedback in favour of this broker is itself telling.

5. Domain/Brand Similarities & Clone Risk

The name “MetroStandardTrade” is very similar to many other suspicious brokers (e.g., “Metro TradeFx”, “Metro FX Trading”, “MetroPrimeTrade”) that have been flagged. This suggests the possibility of cloned websites, rotating domains, and a network of similar scam operations. Domain registration anonymity, recent registration age, and low web footprint reinforce the suspicion that this is not a well-established broker.

6. Jurisdiction & Protection of Investors

If the broker is operating from an offshore jurisdiction with lax regulation (or no regulation), investor protections are weak or nonexistent. If you deposit funds and something goes wrong, you may have no legal recourse, and recovering the funds may be extremely difficult or impossible.

7. Risk Summary

Putting all these together, the risk of loss from using this site is very high — not because trading forex is inherently fraudulent, but because the broker interface appears to be set up in a way that lacks the foundational safeguards genuine brokers provide. For anyone depositing real money, the possibility of losing part or all of the funds is quite tangible.

Conclusion of Post-Section

Given the combination of no verifiable regulation, opaque ownership, marketing red-flags, and resemblance to known scam broker patterns, we judge MetroStandardTrade.org to be highly likely a scam or fraudulent operation, and certainly one that should be treated with extreme caution — effectively one to avoid rather than one to trust with funds.
