Broker Summary

What Wikilix has recorded about ALPHA TRADE: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.

ALPHA TRADE is the trading brand of Alpha Trade Pty Ltd, an Australian private company registered as ACN 055 971 232 (ABN 16 055 971 232) with a registered business location in the Sydney central business district at Level 16, 175 Pitt Street, Sydney, NSW 2000. The company is recorded as active on the Australian Business Register, with an ABN active from 28 April 2000, and it previously operated under the name INTEQ LIMITED.

Regulation. The brand is associated with Australian Financial Services Licence number 237244, issued in Australia and held by ALPHA TRADE PTY LTD, with an effective date of 6 November 2003. The licence covers derivatives and securities dealing and advisory activity on a straight-through-processing basis. Two caveats matter for a prospective client. First, the licence predates the brand's own claimed launch by many years, so the retail forex operation and the licensed activity are not obviously the same business. Second, WIKILIX could not confirm the licence directly against the regulator during this review, and the broker's own website did not serve any content when we attempted to read it, so nothing on the commercial side could be verified from the operator itself.

Offering. The brand is presented as offering forex, commodities and digital-asset contracts for difference. Beyond that, ALPHA TRADE publishes no verifiable detail we could read this review: no account tiers, no spread or commission schedule, no leverage limits, no minimum deposit, no named trading platform and no deposit or withdrawal channels. We have deliberately left those sections of this profile empty rather than fill them with figures we could not source.

Funding and platforms. No funding methods and no trading platform (MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader or a proprietary terminal) could be confirmed for this brand. A retail broker that does not publish a platform or a funding page is not in a position to be assessed on execution quality or on withdrawal practice.

Support. The contact points on record are the phone number +61 (0)2 9037 3890 and the email address cs@alphatrade.com.au, with a company page on LinkedIn and an account on X.

Who it suits. On the evidence available, ALPHA TRADE does not suit a retail trader looking for a working, documented trading service. The corporate entity is real, long-registered and Australian, which is genuinely more than many brands offer, but a licence number and a company number are not a trading operation. Anyone considering it should first establish that the website is live, that the entity's current authorisation actually covers dealing in derivatives with retail clients, and that deposits and withdrawals work at small size before committing capital.

Regulation check

Regulatory Licenses

ALPHA TRADE is listed with a tier-1 or tier-2 licence that we have not yet checked against the regulator's register. An unchecked licence is not a finding either way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ALPHA TRADE

Most Popular Questions

Not on the current evidence. A registered Australian company and a licence number are meaningful, but there is no readable website, no platform, no funding process and no published terms. Better-documented Australian-regulated alternatives exist, and there is no informational cost to waiting until this operator publishes a working service.

Australian financial services rules require client money to be held in segregated accounts, but no client-money or banking disclosure from this operator could be read, and Australia runs no compensation scheme comparable to a deposit-guarantee fund for CFD losses. Segregation should be confirmed in writing before depositing.

No restricted-country list or client-onboarding jurisdiction list is published, so we cannot say. Australian-licensed derivative issuers are generally barred from onboarding United States residents, and an operator that accepts clients from anywhere without disclosing restrictions is a reason for caution.

The contact points on record are the phone number +61 (0)2 9037 3890 and the email cs@alphatrade.com.au. There is a LinkedIn company page and an account on X. No live chat, no support hours and no service-level commitment are published.

The corporate entity is long established: the Australian Business Register shows Alpha Trade Pty Ltd active since 28 April 2000, and the associated licence dates from 2003. The retail trading brand itself is presented as much younger, launched around 2020, so corporate age and brand age are not the same thing here.

No commission schedule is published, and no account-level pricing could be read. Any pricing claim you see quoted for this brand elsewhere should be checked against the broker's own signed client agreement before you fund an account.

The brand is presented as offering forex, commodities and digital-asset contracts for difference. No instrument counts, contract specifications or swap rates are published, so the breadth of the offering cannot be checked.

No deposit or withdrawal channels, fees, limits or processing times are published. Because no funding page could be read, we cannot say whether cards, bank transfers, e-wallets or crypto are accepted, and we cannot comment on withdrawal speed.

None could be confirmed. We found no MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 or cTrader server, no proprietary web terminal and no mobile app download link attributable to the brand. For a broker, an unidentifiable trading platform is a material gap.

Not disclosed. No maximum leverage is published. Note that an Australian retail derivatives service is subject to Australian retail leverage limits, so any offer of very high leverage to Australian retail clients would itself be a warning sign.

Not disclosed. No minimum deposit figure is published anywhere we could read, so we have left the field empty rather than quote a number we could not source.

We found no proof of fraud, and the company behind the brand is genuinely registered in Australia. What we did find is an absence of everything a working broker publishes: no reachable website, no platform, no funding channels, no account terms and no fee schedule. That combination is high risk rather than confirmed fraud, so our verdict is high risk and unverified.

The operating legal entity is Alpha Trade Pty Ltd, an Australian private company, ACN 055 971 232 / ABN 16 055 971 232, registered address Level 16, 175 Pitt Street, Sydney, NSW 2000. The Australian Business Register shows the ABN active from 28 April 2000 and records an earlier name, INTEQ LIMITED. No individual owner or director is disclosed publicly by the brand.

An Australian Financial Services Licence numbered 237244 is held by ALPHA TRADE PTY LTD, effective 6 November 2003, covering derivatives and securities dealing and advisory work. WIKILIX confirmed the licence record but could not verify it directly with the regulator during this review, and could not reconcile it with any live retail trading service, because the broker's website served no content. Treat the brand as licence-holding but operationally unverified.
