In my personal experience as a forex trader, I always approach brokers with caution, prioritizing safety above all else. When examining AMTD, several critical risks stand out for me. The most significant concern is the broker's regulatory status—while they claim SFC regulation in Hong Kong, this status is marked as “unverified.” In practice, I interpret this as a substantial red flag. Reliable regulatory oversight acts as a safeguard for client funds and trading practices, and when it is not fully verifiable, there is an elevated risk of potential disputes or issues with fund withdrawals. I noticed that the WikiFX field survey couldn’t confirm AMTD’s physical presence at the listed address, which further undermines my confidence in their legitimacy. Additionally, the lack of a clear, transparent fee structure makes it difficult for me to accurately estimate trading costs or compare them to other more established brokers. AMTD’s business scope also appears suspiciously broad and unfocused, covering digital solutions, media, and education, which means their core competency in forex or financial trading is questionable. Finally, there is documented user feedback reporting withdrawal problems. While a single review is not definitive, any issue regarding access to funds is a serious warning sign for me as a trader. For these reasons, I believe that using AMTD involves high potential risk. My strong advice is only to consider brokers with verifiable regulation, clear operations, and a trustworthy reputation—even if it means sacrificing some features or convenience.
