I want to ask, is the Olymtrade trading platform itself legal in Indonesia? Because on the official olymtrade website it states that they are collaborating with fintech FX, with an office address that is the same as MIaa fintech, does that mean it's all fake? Can you please help explain?
Thank you
To Tony Tan,
Actually, both forex brokers and binary option brokers originating from abroad do not have official legality in Indonesia. So, even foreign brokers who have legality from a credible regulatory body, if in Indonesia their status is ILLEGAL, unless they have a license from Bappebti.
Regarding binary option brokers, Olymptrade, which admits to cooperating with FintechFX, we cannot provide further comment on that. Our advice is, if this is not proven, you may continue option trading activities with that broker with the note to make regular withdrawals. However, if indications of scams or abnormal activity begin to appear, it would be better to separate the funds there to a more trusted broker.
Hopefully this can help.
To Maulana Yusup,
Similar to the explanation above, namely all brokers from Abroad (even if they already have a license from a credible regulatory body) their status in Indonesia is ILLEGAL if they do not yet have a license from the Bappebti regulatory body. Thus, not only OlympTrade brokers are illegal in Indonesia. Other unregulated forex and binary option brokers are illegal.
Hopefully this can help.
Why am I suspicious of Olymtrade? Why when I deposit using internet banking, the destination is an individual's name, not the Indonesian Olymtrade bank? For example, I deposited $40 to Zainudin, the internet banking report shows it went to Zainudin, not to the Indonesian Olymtrade bank...? And unfortunately, all $40 was lost, understandably. I'm still new to this, and what makes me even more curious is I want to know how long the WD (withdrawal) time is...? Please advise....
To Agege,
If you have doubts, it is best to avoid it. Because basically, if you have a feeling of doubt or apprehension, it will certainly affect your trading atmosphere. If the trading atmosphere is disturbed, it will automatically impact your trading performance.
Therefore, to create a comfortable trading atmosphere, it is recommended to choose a broker that is guaranteed in terms of regulation and security.
Regarding the destination account for deposit transactions, most forex brokers and binary option brokers do use individual accounts. However, this only applies to brokers that can accept deposits/withdrawals via local bank transfers. This is because these brokers have IBs or representatives in Indonesia. So this is reasonable.
Regarding the speed of the deposit or withdrawal process, this depends on the transaction method chosen. However, generally, if using a transaction method via a local bank, transactions are usually processed within 1 to 2 business days. Please contact the broker you are using for more clear information.
Hopefully this can help.
I am very doubtful about Olymtrad
The reason is... some time ago I deposited 300 US$. Because I am still a beginner, I was afraid that the funds could all be lost. So I withdrew 200 US$.
Strangely, after I withdrew the 200 US$, the real account balance was only 55 US$. Even though I had only lost 20 US$.
Isn't this theft?

Good luck, sir. Profit Greetings!
I am an Olymptrade user and have been using it for about 6 months now. So far, there have been no problems regarding withdrawals. It is true that it sometimes takes a long time, in my experience up to 10 days due to the need for identity data verification etc. But that was because I withdrew above USD200. If the withdrawal is below USD 100, I received it as quickly as 30 minutes and as long as 5 days.
