Risk scorecard
Each area is scored 0 (clean) to 10 (worst). Higher means more risk.
Regulation
5/10 · ModerateCannot assess. The website on file is a metals merchant that needs no forex licence, and the separate offshore forex broker at dktrade.com is not the anchor, so no licence can be attributed to this listing.
Identity & transparency
5/10 · ModerateUnresolved. The record merges a transparent, registered Swiss company (dktrade.ch) with a separate offshore forex broker (dktrade.com), and the true subject is not established.
Withdrawals & conduct
4/10 · ModerateNot attributable. Withdrawal complaints under the DK Trade name concern the dktrade.com forex operation, a different site, and cannot be pinned to the Swiss company on file.
Reputation
5/10 · ModerateSplit across two entities. The Swiss metals firm shows a normal corporate footprint; the offshore forex broker draws scam and withdrawal complaints. They cannot be combined into one score.
Website claims
5/10 · ModerateThe website on file makes ordinary corporate claims for a metals trader and no trading or profit claims; the offshore broker's claims sit on a different site not covered here.
Operational history
5/10 · ModerateSplit. DK Trade AG dates to 2018 by the Swiss register; the offshore forex broker's history is separate and its site is now down, so no single operating history can be assigned.
Who they are
A quick desk file on the company behind the brand.
- Brand on file: DK Trade
- Website on file: dktrade.ch, which belongs to DK Trade AG, a Swiss non-ferrous-metals trading company
- Legal entity at that website: DK Trade AG, Poststrasse 18, 6300 Zug, Switzerland (company number CHE-314.521.991, incorporated 20 June 2018, board member Roman Dubach)
- What it does: physical trading, logistics and financing of aluminium and other non-ferrous metals, not retail trading accounts
- Separate operation: an offshore forex and CFD broker called DK Trade ran at dktrade.com, registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, offering MetaTrader with high leverage; that site is now parked
- Country on record: Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, which fits the offshore broker, not the Swiss company
- Licence: the Swiss metals firm needs no forex licence because it is not a broker; the offshore broker claimed only a Saint Vincent registration, which is not a forex licence
- Age claim: DK Trade AG states it was founded in 2018, which matches the Swiss register
Regulation
Who really oversees this broker, and what each licence is worth to you.
Proof of regulation on an official register: No
We could not confirm this broker on any genuine regulator’s register.
No licence claims on record.
Why we reached this verdict
How the evidence adds up.
The evidence points to two different companies sharing a short name, and our record has merged them.
- The website in the profile, dktrade.ch, opens a corporate site for DK Trade AG, 'the aluminium experts', with pages on activities, products and sustainability and a metals news feed. There is no trading platform, no account signup and no forex or CFD product.
- The Swiss commercial register lists DK Trade AG as a metals-trading company incorporated in Zug on 20 June 2018, purpose 'trading in metallic and non-metallic raw materials, especially aluminium'.
- The forex broker that our profile describes (Saint Vincent, no regulation, MetaTrader, high leverage) matches a separate site, dktrade.com, that now shows a parked-domain page whose own suggested topics still read 'Dk Trade Mt4' and 'San Dk Trade'.
- Our rules do not allow the offshore broker's registration, complaints or history to be recorded against an unrelated Swiss company. Doing so would lend a real firm's identity to a suspect operation and could unfairly damage a legitimate business.
- With the true subject unresolved, there is not enough tied to the website on file to rate it, so the honest result is insufficient data rather than a risk score.

The other side
The strongest case in this broker’s favour.
Taken on their own, the facts about the website on file are reassuring, and we set them out plainly.
- DK Trade AG is a real, registered Swiss company with a named director, a fixed address in Zug, an ISO 9001 quality certificate and an active LinkedIn presence. Those are hard things for a scam to fake.
- Its domain was first secured with a certificate in 2018, matching its incorporation year, so there is no sign of an aged shell or a recycled domain.
- It does not solicit trading deposits, promise returns or run a trading terminal, so the usual broker-scam mechanics do not apply to it.
- The offshore forex broker at dktrade.com is a different operation, and its problems should not be held against the Swiss firm.
What would change this
What we would need to see to revise the verdict.
A clear verdict becomes possible once the listing points at a single, correct subject.
- Confirmation of which entity this record is meant to be: the Swiss metals company, or the offshore forex broker.
- If it is the forex broker, the website field should be corrected from dktrade.ch to the broker's real address so the broker itself can be examined.
- A live broker site, or archived broker pages, showing the licence claims, entity and terms would let us run the full check.
- If the record is meant to be the Swiss metals firm, it is not a broker at all and should be reclassified.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this broker’s safety.
Is DK Trade a scam?
It depends which DK Trade you mean, and that is exactly the problem with this listing. The website on file, dktrade.ch, is DK Trade AG, a legitimate Swiss metals trading company, not a broker. A separate offshore forex broker called DK Trade operated at dktrade.com and drew withdrawal complaints, but that is a different operation whose site is now parked. Because we could not tie a broker to the website on file, we did not issue a scam verdict.
Is DK Trade a fraud?
We found no evidence of fraud connected to DK Trade AG, the Swiss metals company at dktrade.ch: no regulator warning and no court record naming it. The separate offshore forex broker at dktrade.com is a different matter that this listing does not resolve; if you lost money there, report it to your regulator. We do not label anyone a fraud without a regulator or court finding.
Is dktrade.ch a forex broker?
No. dktrade.ch is the corporate site of DK Trade AG, which trades physical aluminium and other non-ferrous metals. It has no trading platform, no account signup and no forex or CFD products.
Who is DK Trade AG?
DK Trade AG is a Swiss company based at Poststrasse 18, 6300 Zug. It was incorporated on 20 June 2018 (company number CHE-314.521.991) to trade metallic and non-metallic raw materials, especially aluminium. Its listed board member is Roman Dubach.
Is the Swiss company DK Trade AG the same as the DK Trade forex broker?
There is no evidence they are the same. They use different domains (dktrade.ch versus dktrade.com), sit in different countries (Switzerland versus Saint Vincent and the Grenadines) and are in different businesses (metals trading versus retail forex). They appear to be unrelated companies that happen to share a short name.
What happened to dktrade.com?
The dktrade.com domain, used by the offshore forex broker, now shows a parked GoDaddy page rather than a live broker. Independent reviews describe that broker as an unregulated Saint Vincent operation with withdrawal complaints.
Does Saint Vincent and the Grenadines regulate forex brokers?
No. The Financial Services Authority of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has stated publicly that it does not license or supervise forex trading or brokerage. A 'registered in Saint Vincent' claim is a company registration, not a forex licence, and gives clients no meaningful protection.
Is my money safe with a broker called DK Trade?
Any broker trading under this name at an offshore address like dktrade.com is unregulated for forex, so there is no compensation scheme and no supervisor to help recover funds. Treat it as high risk and do not deposit. The Swiss firm DK Trade AG does not offer trading accounts at all.
Is DK Trade regulated?
The Swiss metals company DK Trade AG is a normal trading business and needs no financial-services licence. The offshore forex broker DK Trade held only a Saint Vincent registration, which is not a forex licence and is not recognised regulation.
Why does this report say insufficient data?
Because the website on file belongs to one company (a Swiss metals firm) while the profile describes another (an offshore forex broker). We will not rate a broker using an unrelated company's website, and we will not pin an offshore broker's history on a legitimate firm. Until the listing is corrected, there is not enough to rate.
Is dktrade.ch safe to use?
As a corporate information site for a metals-trading company, dktrade.ch shows the normal signs of a real business: a registered Swiss entity, a named director, a physical address and a quality certification. It is not a place to open an investment or trading account, so ordinary broker cautions do not apply.
What should I check before depositing with any broker called DK Trade?
Confirm the exact website address, find the legal entity and its regulator, and verify the licence number on that regulator's own public register. If the only licence is a Saint Vincent or other offshore registration, or the site is down, do not deposit. Prefer brokers regulated by a top-tier authority such as the FCA, ASIC or CySEC.
What we recommend
The practical takeaway from everything above.
For readers, and for whoever maintains this listing.
- If you are looking at the Swiss company dktrade.ch: it is a metals trader, not a place to open a trading account, so the usual broker questions do not apply.
- If you were dealing with a forex broker called DK Trade: that operated at dktrade.com, is registered offshore in Saint Vincent, is not regulated for forex, and its site is now down, so treat any contact using that name with great caution and do not deposit.
- If you cannot withdraw from a DK Trade forex account: stop sending further payments, gather your records, and report it to your local financial regulator and your bank or card provider.
- For the listing owner: resolve the identity mismatch before publishing a risk rating, and correct the website field.
