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.
