We found no evidence that Pocket Trader is a scam. It held genuine licences from two regulators, and we confirmed both on the regulators' own registers. The problem is different: the business appears…

Broker Summary
What Wikilix has recorded about Pocket Trader: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.
Pocket Trader is a retail forex and CFD brand operated by Pocket Trader (Malaysia) Limited, a Labuan company limited by shares registered under number LL16603 at Kensington Gardens, No. U1317, Lot 7616, Jalan Jumidar Buyong, Victoria, 87000 Federal Territory of Labuan, Malaysia. The company is recorded as active on the Legal Entity Identifier record validated at the Corporate Online Registry of the Labuan Financial Services Authority, with the entity created on 11 February 2020.
Regulation. No financial services licence is on record for this brand or for the entity behind it. A Labuan company registration confirms only that the company exists; it is a corporate filing, not permission to hold client money or to deal in forex and CFDs. Nothing we could open shows an authorisation from the Labuan Financial Services Authority or from any other financial regulator, and no licence number is published anywhere we could reach. Clients dealing with an unlicensed operator have no regulatory complaints route, no segregated-funds requirement and no compensation scheme behind their deposits.
Offering. The brand's official website at www.pocket-trader.com does not currently resolve, so no account tiers, spreads, leverage, minimum deposit, instrument counts, trading platforms, funding channels or support hours can be documented. We publish no numbers here rather than numbers we could not read. The brand maintains public social accounts on Facebook and Instagram.
Who it suits. On the evidence available, no one. A broker whose website is offline and whose regulatory standing is unestablished offers a prospective client nothing verifiable to assess and no way to withdraw funds if something goes wrong. Anyone already holding a balance should attempt withdrawal and document every request.
Caveats. Our assessment reflects what could be verified at the time of review. Because the site was unreachable, the commercial side of this profile is deliberately empty rather than estimated, and the corporate registration is the only fact here that is independently confirmed.
