LMFX Review

LMFX is an innovative Forex broker owned by GeoTrust and located at https://www.lmfx.com. Customers are offered advanced trading technologies that are combined with the best conditions for earning on currency pairs and CFD contracts – this is the official positioning, which can be found in the Why Choose LMFX section. Next, we will study the trading conditions and see if the LMFX broker is customer-oriented and can provide the best trading solutions.

The site is not translated into other languages ​​of the world. In the descriptive part, there is only general information that clients’ funds are reliably protected and are stored in separate bank accounts that are not connected with the broker’s accounts. The problem is that the company does not have a license from a financial regulator and LMFX managers are responsible for the distribution of all financial resources. This means that if a broker goes bankrupt or becomes a victim of an economic crisis, then customers will lose all their savings and will not be able to claim compensation. Therefore, with trust and security problems.

Support

For technical support, a British telephone number, mail, and a message sending form are available in the Contact Us section. You can also use the online chat, which is hidden in the lower right corner of the site: write your name → indicate mail → click “Start the chart” and ask a question. Technical support is fast and responsive, but can only communicate in English.

Educational program

The Education section is responsible for education, which has three categories: Video Instructions, Trading Tools, and Economic Calendar. The “video instructions” are limited to the recommendations for setting up the MetaTrader 4 terminal and the basic course on the basics of trading in the foreign exchange market – the information is presented in a convenient structured form, but it is too small and it is only in English. The “Tools for Trading” contains different types of calculators, which are for reference only and in most cases are needed only to build the concept of a trading strategy. The Economic Calendar category is represented by a widget that does not contain tooltips and does not offer convenient sorting of news.
