My 2 friends have also encountered with the same situation. What’s more ridiculous, the account 1570110 could receive $100 weekly, while the fund of account 1570110 is yet to receive. Cardiff is still cheating throughout the country. There is a withdrawal problem with Cardiff since 2018.

The withdrawal in Cardiff is unavailable for nearly 6 months. Many victims form Dalian, Shanghai and Guangdong have called the police. In August, 2018, my withdrawal request was refused. When I applied for the withdrawal the second time, I only received half of the fund, which was the electronic money conversion. And the amount was becoming less from 300 to 100. Cardiff is simply a scam platform, which was still scamming in Fujian in October. Actually, many clients of Dalian, Shanghai and Henan couldn’t withdraw fund since August. As long as you mention about the withdrawal, the network will become stuck. Their promise of process done in 4 workdays is stunt.

Review summary

General Information& Regulation

Cardiff Global Markets is an Australian forex and CFD broker, licensed by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (registration number 439907) and offering a selection of currency pairs, as well as CFDs on various assets, including precious metals, 13 world indices and oil on the MetaTrader4 platform.

Market Instruments

Tradable financial instruments on offer at Cardiff Global Markets including currency pairs, precious metals, indices, oil. Unfortunately, there are no CFDs on stocks and cryptocurrencies available.

Minimum Deposit

Cardiff Global Markets offer investors three types of account, namely the Standard account (the minimum deposit of $1), the Pro account (the minimum deposit of $1) and the Prime account (the minimum deposit of $50,000). The fact that Cardiff Global Markets has not set an entry threshold is quite a good news for regular traders. The maximum leverage set by the brokerage is up to 1:400.

Cardiff Leverage

Cardiff Global Markets provides a maximum leverage of 1:400, which is more than enough to suite all kinds of traders. Yet, it is not appropriate for all of them, especially for beginners. High leverage levels can lead to heavy losses in a matter of minutes

Trade Size

The minimum trade size is 0.01 lots, otherwise known as micro lots, for all three account types. The maximum trade size tips the scales at 150 lots, which is one of the highest options weve seen. The margin call and stop out levels are also the same for all three account types. Margin call: 50%, Stop Loss: 50%.

Spreads & Commissions

The benchmark EURUSD spread, as tested with a demo account, floated about 1.2 pips, which can be attractive, if the Demo account mirrors the Standard account. Have in mind that spreads are considered competitive only if they start below 1.5 pips. Wide spreads means high transaction fees.

Trading Platform

When it comes to software for forex trading, Cardiff Global Markets offers the most popular forex trading platform, the MetaTrader4 (MT4). Its charting package is one of the best in the industry, with many technical analysis indicators, as well as with the option to develop some of your own, if you are handy with code. This also applies to the popular Expert Advisors of the MT4, which are automated trading strategies.

Deposit & Withdrawal

Cardiff Global Markets accepts payments with major credit and debit cards like VISA and MasterCard, as well as bank transfers. Unfortunately there is no information on the website if they accept payments with popular e-wallets like Neteller, Skrill and PayPal.

Customer Support

The Cardiff Global Markets customer support team can be available via Live Chat, phone, and email. The quickest way to get in touch with an agent would be through LiveChat, however, it seems that the company does not have this feature available 24/7.

Wiki Q&A

Can Cardiff be considered a credible broker?

Based on its regulatory status, Cardiff Global Markets Pty LTD cannot be considered a credible broker. The entity operates without any valid, active regulatory authorization for forex trading. Its overall WikiFX score of 1.60 reflects this fundamental lack of oversight, placing it in a high-risk category where client funds are not protected by any recognized compensation scheme.

13h
United States

What regulatory licenses does Cardiff hold?

Cardiff does not hold any active regulatory licenses. According to WikiFX data, a previously held ASIC Market Making License (000439907) has been revoked. The broker currently operates without verified mainstream regulation, meaning it is not authorized to provide financial services in Australia or other major jurisdictions.

13h
United States

What is the full company name of Cardiff?

The broker operates under the full registered name Cardiff Global Markets Pty LTD. It is registered in Australia and has an operational history reported to be between 5 to 10 years.

13h
United States

What does it mean if a broker holds multiple regulatory licenses?

If a broker holds multiple regulatory licenses, it usually means that it operates in multiple countries or regions and needs to comply with the requirements of different regulatory authorities. Its overall credibility is generally higher. However, it should be noted that regulatory strength differs between licenses. Some offshore regulations have weaker restrictions, so safety should not be judged only by the number of licenses. It is recommended to focus on whether the broker holds licenses from major regulators such as FCA or ASIC, and evaluate its regulatory status, historical records, and overall rating together. You can also check all regulatory information and performance under different regulators on the WikiFX platform to more comprehensively assess its actual risk level.

What is WikiFX, and how does it help investors?

WikiFX is a third-party platform that provides forex broker information inquiry and risk alerts. This type of platform mainly integrates brokers' regulatory information, user feedback, and historical records, and conducts comprehensive evaluation through a multi-dimensional model to help investors quickly understand the broker's basic situation and potential risks. By using such tools, investors can conduct preliminary screening before choosing a broker, thereby reducing decision-making risks caused by information asymmetry.

United States

How is the WikiFX Score calculated?

WikiFX ratings are calculated based on a multi-dimensional data model, mainly including five dimensions: regulatory index, license index, business index, risk control index, and software index. The rating adopts a range system (0-10 points). The higher the score, the higher the broker's overall performance level. In addition, ratings are dynamically updated according to regulatory changes, complaint handling results, and historical data performance, making the rating more objective and timely. You can check the scores of each dimension and their trends on the WikiFX platform to evaluate the broker's actual situation more comprehensively.

How should I compare different forex brokers to find the best one?

To compare different brokers, investors can make comprehensive judgments from multiple dimensions such as regulatory qualifications, overall ratings, trading environment, account conditions, and user feedback. In general, priority should be given to regulatory status and license information, followed by WikiFX ratings and various indexes (such as risk control, software, and business indexes). At the same time, trading conditions (such as spreads and execution speed) and account information (such as minimum deposit and account types) should also be compared. In addition, user reviews, exposure records, and risk assessment information can also be considered to evaluate broker safety and trading experience from multiple aspects. The WikiFX platform also provides multi-dimensional broker comparison tools. Users can select different brokers for visual comparison and comprehensive analysis, so as to make decisions more efficiently.

12h
United States

What factors should I consider when choosing a safe forex broker?

When choosing a safe broker, investors should focus on key factors such as regulatory qualifications, fund security, and trading transparency. In general, priority should be given to platforms regulated by major regulatory authorities, such as the Financial Conduct Authority, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. At the same time, attention should also be paid to: whether client funds are kept in segregated accounts, whether the fee structure is transparent, and whether there are many negative complaints or withdrawal problems. By combining WikiFX ratings and user feedback, investors can evaluate broker risks more comprehensively.
