Hello, my name is Rico Nurhidayat. I would like to convey some difficulties regarding the withdrawal of my funds in my Octa account, which cannot be done. My account has been blocked by Octa, and I am unable to withdraw approximately $1623. I have also contacted them through customer service and email, but they stated that they cannot refund the funds and the account remains blocked. This incident occurred from February 10, 2025, until now, March 19, 2025, and there has been no solution from the broker's side. I kindly request if there is any solution to my problem. 🙏🏻

Good evening, my name is Rico Nurhidayat and I would like to address the issue of withdrawal that has been unable to be processed for almost 2 weeks. I have also inquired about this issue with the customer service on the platform, but they only provided the reason that the funds are being processed by the Finance department and asked me to wait. However, there is no clarity and I am only told to wait. I contacted them the next day and received the same reason. I was also notified that my account is under investigation. The customer service also suggested sending an email, which I have done, but the response remains the same, that I have to wait and my account is still under investigation. After a few days, I confirmed through email and the platform commented that the deposit amount is not greater than the profit obtained. This led us to conclude that our subordinates must deposit a large amount in order to facilitate the withdrawal process. Therefore,

I have been trading with octafx since 2021, and so far there have been no problems regarding deposits or withdrawals. In the past few months, I have made a significant profit due to the increase in the price of the xrpusd pair, so I have been making frequent withdrawals. After several withdrawals, suddenly my account could not be verified and I couldn't withdraw funds. I asked through email and live chat and was informed that my account is being checked for AML and requested bank deposit statements from March to December. I immediately prepared the bank statement and sent it to octa support. After a few days, I received an email from octa's KYC stating that my account has been verified and I can make deposits and withdrawals. So I tried to make a withdrawal. However, the withdrawal status is always pending, and when I asked the live chat, they said that my account is still being checked with an indefinite timeframe. The large broker octa is withholding the profits that rightfully belong to me as a client.

I have uses Octa for about 6 months when they started playing games. I was profiting about 15K USD (Fix Rate). When I wanted to withdraw, they say a lot of excuses to delay my withdrawal. Some of these reasons include: We need to verify with the bank, we are waiting for the funds provider, holiday season, etc… And then after 1 week from my withdrawal request, they say my account is under investigation for suspicious activities. Yeah, the suspicious activities that they were referring to was I was profiting a lot…hahhahaha. Then i was informed they do this routinely to make sure their clients’ funds are safe. But when i asked my friends who used Octa, they never have this happened to them because they were profiting way less than me. And the. after almost 3 weeks, they finally approved my withdrawl request. aAnd one more thing, their customer service are basically all robots. they use fake names amd profile pictures. Please dont use Octa.

I have been a client of Octa Markets Ltd since 29-July-2024. The first deposit of USD19,000 was made on 29-Jul-2024, and the first withdrawal USD32,000 was made on 14-Aug-2024. On 10-Sep-2024, I submitted a request to withdraw USD13,000 from my account. Despite complying with all necessary verification processes and providing the required documentation, my withdrawal request has been unjustly denied. Now I can't login to my account! This has caused me significant distress and financial inconvenience. Despite my attempts to resolve this issue directly with Octa Markets Ltd through their customer support, I have not received a satisfactory response or a clear explanation for the denial of my withdrawal. The lack of transparency and the refusal to release my funds suggest potential misconduct or malpractice.

I have been using Octa for a while, but recent experiences have been extremely disappointing. For over two weeks now, I've been facing an issue that was supposedly escalated to their finance team and senior management, but there has been no resolution or clear update on what's happening. Despite repeated follow-ups, all I get are generic statements like: "Our processing department is still in the midst of investigating this issue." "This will be the report number that has been escalated to our finance team regarding this clarification: 3858103" "Please know that we're taking this issue very seriously and are working to resolve it as quickly as possible." No SLAs or ETAs have been provided, and it feels like the finance team is running the entire operation with no accountability to the customers. It's honestly frustrating to see no concrete progress despite my issue being escalated to high-level management. I would urge others to be cautious when dealing with Octa.

I traded yesterday to find out if Octa has fast execution towards SL and TP, it turns out they manipulate Slippage. LOGICALLY, SL MUST BE CLOSED WHEN WE EXPERIENCE WRONG OPEN POSITION AND WHEN NEWS SHOULD BE EXECUTED QUICKLY, RIGHT? THEY DIRECT MY SL PRICE TOWARDS MY TP, WHICH RESULTS IN THE SAME AMOUNT. WHAT DO THEIR BROKERS SAY? THEY SAY IT'S BECAUSE THE MARKET IS UNSTABLE, AND THE PRICE THEY DETERMINE IS THE BEST PRICE AT THAT TIME. THEN WHAT IF I ONLY OPEN 1 POSITION IN ONE DIRECTION? LET'S SAY I OPEN A BUY POSITION WITH $30 CAPITAL, SL (20 PIPS), THEN THE NEWS HAPPENS AND THE PRICE GOES DOWN AND THEY MOVE MY SL 70 PIPS AWAY. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? I WILL DEFINITELY BLOW MY ACCOUNT AND LOSE MY BALANCE. SL MUST BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH WHAT THEY HAVE STATED, THEY DON'T WANT TO LOSE AT ALL. PLEASE TAKE A SCREENSHOT OF MY BUY AND SELL POSITIONS, AS WELL AS TP AND SL. HELP ME REPORT THIS OCTA BROKER, IF NECESSARY, WE WILL SUE THEM. IT'S NOT MUCH, BUT IT'S DANGEROUS FOR OTHER TRADERS.

I deposited 9900 on June 17th to the Octa platform. Due to the platform's bonus promotion and high leverage, my funds doubled within a month. At this point, I wanted to withdraw the profits, but the platform refused my withdrawal request and asked me to provide KYC and three months of USDT wallet transaction records. After providing the requested documents, the platform claimed that I engaged in unauthorized trading. However, I traded normally, placing manual orders without delay or pushing positions. They want to deduct my profits and I even considered just getting back my initial investment. It has been almost three months now, and my initial investment has still not been withdrawn. Every time I communicate with the platform via email, their response is either that they are handling my withdrawal request normally or that it has been forwarded to the finance department. I hope that through Tianyan, the platform will address this issue correctly. Thank you.
