Regulator warnings

“AI” trading platforms regulators have warned about

These names are pushed through fake news articles and celebrity ads. Each page sets out what the FCA, Ontario’s securities commission and other regulators have published about them. We never link to them.

Signals, a bot, a prop firm or a broker?

They solve different problems. Most traders end up needing a broker or exchange plus one of the others.

01

Signal service

Tells you what to trade: entry, stop loss and targets. You place the trade on your own account.

You pay
Weekly or monthly fee. Many have a free channel.
What goes wrong
The losses are yours, and few results are verified.
See the ranking →02

Trading bot

Places trades for you from rules you set, through an API key on your exchange or broker account.

You pay
A monthly plan, or nothing extra when the bot is built into the exchange.
What goes wrong
A bot follows bad rules as fast as good ones. Any bot promising a fixed return is a scam pattern.
See the ranking →03

Prop firm

Lends you its capital if you pass a test, then splits the profit with you.

You pay
A challenge fee, one-time or monthly, from about $19 to $600.
What goes wrong
Break one rule and the fee and the account are gone.
See the ranking →
04

Broker

Where trades are actually placed. You need one to follow signals.

You pay
Spreads, commissions and overnight rollover.
What goes wrong
Offshore brokers that accept US clients sit outside US rules and protections.

What a subscription costs over a year

The scam that targets good channels

Most money lost around signal groups never reaches the channel you joined. It goes to someone pretending to be its admin, who messages new members within minutes of them joining.

Real@GoldSignalsDailyClone@GoIdSignalsDailyClone@GoldSignalsDaily_
  1. 1

    A real admin almost never messages you first. Treat any unprompted DM as a copy.

  2. 2

    Compare the @username letter by letter. Clones swap a lowercase l for a capital I, or add an underscore or digit.

  3. 3

    Pay only through the link pinned in the official channel or on the official website.

  4. 4

    No genuine service asks for money to “manage” or “trade” your account for you.

  5. 5

    “Fund recovery” services that contact you after a loss are a second scam aimed at the same people.

Who regulates what in the US

A US broker offering forex to retail customers must be registered with the CFTC and be a member of the NFA. You can look any firm up on NFA BASIC, the association’s free public register, before you open an account.

Signal services and most prop firms sit outside that system. Your protection is their terms of service, so check the legal entity and where it is based.

  • 50:1Maximum leverage on major currency pairs for a US retail forex account
  • 20:1Maximum leverage on all other currency pairs
  • $20MMinimum net capital a US forex dealer must hold to take retail customers
  • FIFOPositions in the same pair close first in, first out, so you cannot hedge long against short

Forex accounts are not covered by SIPC. Brokers that offer 500:1 leverage or CFDs to US residents are not following these rules, whatever their website says.

Questions people ask

About SafeTrading, how the lists are made, and trading services in general.

What is SafeTrading?

Rankings and single-provider reviews for forex, gold and crypto signals, prop firms and AI trading bots, plus legitimacy checks on platforms regulators have warned about. Each page shows the price, the rules and what to watch out for, with the date the facts were checked and where they came from.

How does SafeTrading make money?

From affiliate commission when you join some providers through our links, and from our own services: SafeTrading is run by the same group as ForexSignals.io, Gold Signals Daily and the Gold Signals app, which appear in our lists. Other companies cannot pay to change their position.

Why are some listings not linked?

On the ranked lists we link only to services we have a working relationship with; other listings show where their facts came from as plain text. Reviews link to the company's official site and list every source. We never link to platforms that regulators have warned about.

Is copy trading the same as following signals?

No. With signals you read the trade and place it yourself, so you can skip or resize it. Copy trading places the trades on your account automatically, which is faster but leaves you less control when a provider changes its risk.

Are free Telegram signal groups safe?

Joining one costs nothing and is a reasonable way to judge a provider. The risk comes from what follows: upsells with unverified results, and impersonators who message members privately. Never pay through a link sent in a DM.

What percentage of retail traders lose money?

US forex dealers must report, every quarter, the share of their retail forex accounts that were profitable. In those reports most accounts lose money. Signals do not change that on their own; position size and stop losses matter more.

Can I trade CFDs from the US?

No. CFDs are not available to US retail traders. US residents trade spot forex through a broker registered with the CFTC and NFA, and gold, indices and oil through futures. A broker that offers CFDs to a US resident is operating outside US rules.

Can I use signals on a prop firm account?

Sometimes. Many firms ban copying third-party signals or shared trade ideas, because several accounts end up with identical trades. Check the firm's rules before you pay for a challenge.

How often are the lists updated?

Prices and terms are rechecked whenever a list or review is updated, and each card and review shows the date its facts were last checked. If you spot something out of date, tell us through the contact page.
