Anyone know if these guys can be trusted or not – https://www.capitalstreetfx.com/en/?

They say they regulated and offer much higher leverage than I’ve seen elsewhere reaching 3500:1.

Thx.

Hi Firmin,

Thank you for your message.

We have evaluated Capital Street FX and have concerns regarding its regulatory status. They are authorized by the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius (FSC) – a ‘red tier’ regulator that isn’t known for its robust oversight of brokers and strong protections for retail investors.

It also offers bonuses to entice traders, which aren’t permitted by most respected regulators, plus extremely high leverage ratios as you’ve pointed out, which again, aren’t permitted by most respected regulators. The maximum leverage in Europe, Australia and the UK, for example, is 1:30 for retail investors.

If you want a well-regulated broker (and you should), I recommend seeing our selection of trusted brokers.

Alright I get they probably should be avoided but can you get any high leverage brokers that are legit or are you telling me not to use any platform if leverage is above 30:1?

Thx.

Hi Firmin,

You can get legitimate brokers with high leverage but they may be offering this through weakly regulated, offshore entities.

Importantly, many prominent regulators have introduced limits on leverage to help protect retail investors from amassing large losses (something that has devastated many traders).

We would recommend all traders approach leverage trading with caution and suggest beginners especially avoid trading with high leverage.

Capital street FX is a legit broker… I’ve been using them for last 8 months. No major issue, no major dispute, also they are regulated, I’ve verified their certification and registration number. Capital Street is a legit broker

Thanks for sharing your experience.

When you say they are regulated and you’ve checked their certification and registration number – do you mean with the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius (FSC)?

While they may be registered with the FSC of Mauritius – our concern is that they are not a well-regarded regulator, enforcing fewer safeguards than, for example, ‘green tier’ bodies in our Regulation & Trust Rating.
