Ontega Company History

Ontega’s website has been online and promoted for at least a few years as a trading website that features a web-based trading platform with access to live charts, order execution capabilities, and risk management tools such as stop-loss and trailing stop-loss orders. The site offers both desktop and mobile versions of its trade platform that do not require downloading or installation of any third-party software. ([Ontega][1])

Regulatory Oversight/Licensing of Ontega

Ontega’s website states that it has been registered with Green Pole Ltd. as a retail forex broker, under the number of the license that Ontega claims to have with the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC). Sources from independent parties have verified that there is no evidence provided by Ontega to support its existence or the validity of any of the information that is currently listed on the VFSC website, therefore OnOntega is an online brokerage that allows its customers to trade a wide range of financial instruments, including foreign exchange (forex), commodities (such as gold and silver), stock indices, equity shares and CFDs (contracts for difference), and cryptocurrencies. All of these products can be traded using margin (borrowed money), and the amount of leverage available will depend on the instrument being traded. Instruments traded with leverage include forex and commodities, with forex offering the highest level of leverage (up to 1:200).

The company does not currently provide a comprehensive list of different account types or trading account tiers. However, according to several sources, the minimum deposit required to open an Ontega account is approximately $200.

In addition to offering access to a wide range of markets and products, Ontega also provides its customers with a proprietary trading platform. The platform is web-based and can be accessed via any web browser on both desktop and mobile devices. Customers are able to place their trades using various types of orders and access data and charts created during their trading sessions; however, the platform does not currently support either the MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 trading platforms.

Ontega is not recognised as a licensed financial institution by any major financial authority and has not substantiated its claim to hold a licence issued by the Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission (VFSC). Therefore, it is important to be cautious when dealing with unregulated brokers and to take this into consideration when deciding whether or not to open an account. Based on independent review sites and user-generated content, there are frequent reports of problems involving fund withdrawals and responsiveness of customer support, as well as complaints regarding the company’s overall trading environment.
