Broker Summary
What Wikilix has recorded about Lidya FX: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.
Lidya FX Broker Overview
Lidya FX is a retail forex and CFD brand presented as operating from the United Kingdom under the company name LidyaTrade Ltd., with a stated office at 19 Boroughbridge Road, Birmingham, B1 5NB and a London telephone number. The brand offers a small set of trading accounts with a minimum deposit of 300 USD and leverage up to 1:200. Its website, lidyatrade.com, does not currently resolve, so nothing on it can be read or relied on.
Is Lidya FX Regulated?
No. There is no confirmed financial regulation for Lidya FX or for LidyaTrade Ltd. in any jurisdiction, and no licence number is published anywhere WIKILIX could examine. Handling retail client money for forex or CFD trading from the United Kingdom requires authorisation by the Financial Conduct Authority, and no such authorisation is evidenced for this brand.
LidyaTrade Ltd.
LidyaTrade Ltd. is the company the brand names as its operator. A search of the United Kingdom register of companies at Companies House, including variants of the name, returned no company called LidyaTrade Ltd. Several unrelated companies contain the word Lidya, none of them matching this brand, this address or this business. On the record available, the operating entity behind Lidya FX cannot be identified as an existing company.
Is Lidya FX Safe?
The evidence available does not support treating Lidya FX as safe. There is no regulator supervising the operation, no company that can be traced on the register a client could use to pursue a claim, and no live website through which terms, client money arrangements or withdrawal conditions can be read. A client depositing money would have no identified counterparty and no recourse.
Lidya FX Account Types
Three accounts are associated with the brand: a Standard account requiring 300 USD with spreads from 1.0 pip, a Gold account requiring 500 USD with spreads from 0.7 pip, and a demo account. Both live accounts allow leverage up to 1:200 and a minimum trade size of 0.01 lot. Commission, account currency and trading instruments are not disclosed.
Lidya FX Deposits and Withdrawals
Deposit and withdrawal methods, fees, limits and processing times are not disclosed anywhere available, so a prospective client cannot establish before depositing how money would be returned.
Lidya FX Pros and Cons
- Low entry barrier at 300 USD and a small, simple account range.
- No confirmed regulation in any jurisdiction.
- The named operating company does not appear on the United Kingdom register.
- The website is offline, so no terms or funding conditions can be read.
Lidya FX Review and Assessment
Lidya FX presents itself as a United Kingdom forex broker, but the two things that would make that meaningful are both missing: an authorisation from a financial regulator, and a traceable company. With the website also unreachable, there is no current route to verify anything the brand claims, and no basis on which a deposit could be considered protected.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Lidya FX
There is no identified authority to complain to and no traceable company to pursue. Without a regulator, a client has no access to a complaints scheme or a compensation fund, and without a registered entity there is no company against which a civil claim could be brought.
The brand's stated website is lidyatrade.com, and it does not currently resolve. A prospective client therefore has no way to read the terms, the client agreement or the funding conditions before committing money.
The contact details associated with the brand are the telephone number +44 20 3695 3384 and the email address support@lidyafx.com. No live chat, support portal or working website is available.
Not established. The brand publishes no restricted-country list or onboarding country list that could be examined, so no jurisdiction can be described as either accepted or refused.
This is not published anywhere. No withdrawal processing time or condition is stated by the brand, and with no live site and no regulator there is no route to hold it to one.
The funding methods are not published. No deposit or withdrawal channel, fee, limit or processing time is disclosed, so a client cannot establish before depositing how money would be returned.
No trading platform is confirmed for Lidya FX. The brand does not publish a platform name, a server address or a download link anywhere that could be examined.
Spreads are quoted from 1.0 pip on the entry tier and from 0.7 pip on the higher tier. Commission is not disclosed for either account, and no fee schedule is published.
Up to 1:200 on both live account tiers. Leverage at that level is well above what United Kingdom retail clients are permitted under Financial Conduct Authority rules, which is itself an indication that the operation is not run under that supervision.
The entry level account requires 300 USD and the higher tier requires 500 USD. These are the figures associated with the brand's account range; the site itself is not currently available to confirm them.
It cannot be treated as a safe place to deposit money. There is no regulator behind it, the operating company does not appear on the register it claims to be registered in, and its website no longer resolves. That combination is the pattern of an operation a client cannot pursue if money is not returned.
The brand names LidyaTrade Ltd. as its operator, at 19 Boroughbridge Road, Birmingham, B1 5NB. No company of that name appears on the United Kingdom register of companies, so the owner cannot be identified from any official record.
No. No financial licence is confirmed for Lidya FX or for LidyaTrade Ltd. in any jurisdiction, and no licence number is published that could be checked. A firm presenting itself as a United Kingdom forex broker would need authorisation from the Financial Conduct Authority, and none is evidenced here.
