Regulation: A FinCEN Filing Is Not a Forex Licence

In the regulatory records we reviewed, no forex or CFD licence appears for Alpex Ventures Ltd. The company profile instead points to a FinCEN filing, licence number 31000278206821. FinCEN, the US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, registers money services businesses; a FinCEN filing is not a forex or CFD licence and carries none of the oversight of a securities or financial conduct regulator. Registered in an offshore jurisdiction without a dedicated forex regulator, the safety net for client funds is thin.

Accounts and Trading

The platform advertises three account tiers: Standard from $25, Advanced from $5,000, and Pro from $20,000. Expert-advisor (EA) trading is supported, and trading runs through a web-based WebTrading platform rather than MT4 or MT5.

Withdrawal Complaints

Withdrawal complaints form a clear pattern. According to a Malaysian user, they deposited US$1,010 on 6 May 2025 and made a profit of US$1,161.60, bringing the balance to US$2,171.60, but could not withdraw it and received no email response.

A Hong Kong complaint describes being asked to pay a further US$2,000 fee before a withdrawal would be released.

Earlier Malaysian complaints describe a copy-trading service called “Money Printer” where users invested US$3,000 and could not withdraw. Others describe account managers who stop replying. A minority of reviews describe fast withdrawals, but the dominant pattern points the other way.

Final Thoughts

ALPEX TRADING offers a low-cost entry and a broad instrument list, but real regulation and a working withdrawal process, the two things that protect a trader's money, are exactly where it looks weakest. The recurring withdrawal complaints should weigh heavily on any decision to deposit.

Before opening an account, verify any licence directly with the regulator, start with the smallest possible deposit, and test a withdrawal early. You can also check ALPEX TRADING's live score, regulatory records and the latest complaints on the WikiFX App.
