Broker Review

Unauthorised Firm Details

Name: Trade-Lion / LionsTrade
Websites: trade-lion.net, trade-lion.io, lionstrade.co

Trade-Lion (also called LionsTrade in some domains) is promoted as a broker/trading platform offering access to forex, cryptocurrencies, indices, and CFDs. It claims benefits such as high returns, global access, and broker support. But digging deeper reveals multiple serious concerns that suggest this is very high risk:

• The platform is not regulated by any recognized, top-tier authority, and several regulatory bodies have issued investor alerts specifically warning that it is not authorized in their jurisdictions.

• Users report misleading promises: deposit requirements are large for certain features, withdrawal requests are blocked or delayed, support is unresponsive or dismissive.

• The website’s content is generic, with grammar and presentation issues; some pages are incomplete or incorrectly linked; many reviews say links are broken when trying to access key features.

• The domain is very new (months old), and ownership is hidden using privacy services, making it hard to trace who really runs the platform.

• Automatic site-reputation tools rate it extremely low. One trust-scoring service states it has a “very low trust score” and lists “strong likelihood the site is a scam.”

Bottom line: Trade-Lion / LionsTrade appears to have most of the hallmarks of a fraudulent broker — no oversight, many user complaints, hidden ownership, and unrealistic promises. It should be avoided. If you’ve already deposited, you should try to document everything and explore recovery options immediately.
