Real4invest.com Review in Detail

Q: How can an unlicensed company offer MetaTrader 5 to users?

MetaQuotes, the developer of the terminal, does not act as a regulator or licensing authority and is not obligated to verify whether the software buyer holds a financial license. The company no longer signs agreements with buyers who are not officially registered entities and has stopped distributing its products through White Label. Therefore, any broker or dealer that can prove official registration is able to purchase the software and offer it to their clients. Scammers often exploit this, registering in jurisdictions like Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, or acquiring licenses from MISA.

Q: Why do you say that ECN brokers don’t have spreads?

An ECN network functions somewhat like an exchange, where clients place buy/sell orders at desired prices, and other clients with matching orders, or liquidity providers acting as market makers, fulfill them. Since traders always seek the best price and fast execution, the difference between Bid and Ask in the order book typically equals one price step — or in more familiar terms, 0.1 pips. In this setup, the broker does not set spreads for its clients (they are formed by the network), and the broker earns from commissions. As soon as we see that a company claims to offer spreads with zero commissions, it’s clear that they’re setting prices themselves and executing trades internally. That means they’re using Dealing Desk technology, which has nothing to do with a true ECN model.

Q: Are you sure when you say not to work with the broker, that they don’t plan to obtain a license?

The broker in its previous version had six years to obtain a license. It even operated in the UK, where it could have acquired documentation from one of the most reputable regulators. However, it seems that the FCA’s requirements were too difficult for the broker to meet, and it chose instead to serve clients outside the legal framework. We’re seeing the same pattern now — official registration is in place, but instead of acquiring a license, the broker makes vague claims about being “regulated” under Saint Lucia’s corporate laws. It appears that operating illegally suits the company just fine — and it even helps them save a considerable amount of money.

Among scam brokers, there are some that take great care in preparing their cover story to look like real companies. However, in our Real4invest.com review today, we are dealing with a platform that clearly doesn’t belong to that category. Its owners thought that just mentioning the MetaTrader 5 terminal and promising that this platform would bring a new trading style would be enough for clients. Of course, they forgot to specify that in this new style, the user’s money instantly becomes company funds. We will now reveal everything the scammers chose not to mention.

From Sign-Up to Payout

The web designers who worked on the official Real4invest.com website definitely earned their pay. They managed to create a relatively simple yet visually appealing page design, keeping the pages concise and seemingly full of content at first glance.

However, the information density and content value of the site are nothing more than an illusion. The broker repeats the mistake of most similar scam projects: not understanding regulatory requirements and failing to disclose critical and in-demand information for traders. For example:

The company has published a number of documents supposedly regulating its interactions with clients. However, only the Privacy Policy appears to be of any importance. The Website Terms & Conditions only govern the use of site materials and cannot be considered a full client agreement. Risk Disclaimer — the name is already unique, probably the company meant to say that the client’s risks are their own business, and the firm has nothing to do with it. KYC and AML Policies, which have become the de facto standard, are not present at all. As a result, a new user does not enter into any agreement with the service provider and, therefore, sends money to its accounts voluntarily (read: gives it away). At the same time, the user is required to provide all personal data and confirm it with document copies, without any clear legal basis. Is it just us, or does honest and transparent interaction look a little different?
There are no company payment details on the site. Nor is there any information about its history, team, achievements, or plans.

In general, one could talk for a long time about everything missing from the Real4invest.com site. However, the features of the personal account are no less interesting.

Let’s say that the client registration process is almost okay. The simple registration form takes no more than a minute to fill out, after which the user gets an active account and access to the dashboard. However, its functionality is limited without the full set of personal data and verification. At the same time, the broker refers to a non-existent KYC policy.

In limited mode, it is impossible to deposit funds, but it is possible to open trading accounts for MetaTrader 5. This interpretation of security is laughable, especially considering that the company does not publish any AML policy either.

In short, we could not find out how accurately financial transactions are processed or which of the dozen payment methods listed on the site actually work. It’s hard to call this a broker’s achievement, but complaints can definitely be made. For example, why are there no recipient details for any of the payment methods? Why are there no conditions for transactions: limits, fees, processing time? Does Real4invest.com know that this is exactly how scammers operate? Then again, that last question is probably rhetorical.

Our Trading Experience With Real4invest.com

The broker claims the MetaTrader 5 terminal is one of its main advantages. Indeed, it is one of the best trading platforms and deserves such recognition. The company talks a lot about its features. We believe, however, that this software needs no further introduction — practically every trader is familiar with it and knows all its strengths.

But we do have something to say about Real4invest.com’s trading conditions. Let’s start with the four types of trading accounts:

Standard. Minimum deposit of $200, maximum leverage 1:500, spreads starting from 1.1 pips, no trading commissions.
Expert Cbot. Minimum deposit of $1,000, maximum leverage 1:100, spreads starting from 1.1 pips, no trading commissions.
Pro Zero. Minimum deposit of $5,000, maximum leverage 1:400, zero spreads, trading commission of $6 per standard lot.
VIP. Minimum deposit of $50,000, maximum leverage 1:100, spreads starting from 0.4 pips, no trading commissions.

All accounts have a minimum trade volume of 0.01 standard lots. They are also all swap-free (Islamic), and no rollover commission is charged.

We have a lot of questions for the company:

What level of risk for clients with Standard and Pro Zero accounts did the broker have in mind when setting leverage at 1:500 and 1:400, respectively? Does it distinguish between retail and professional traders? If so, on what basis, considering it doesn’t even conduct any kind of questionnaire?
In the FAQ section, the company proudly states that it is an ECN and not a DD broker. How then should we understand the presence of spreads and absence of commissions on most accounts? Or is the company connected to some special ECN network with its own pricing algorithm for assets?
How does the broker make money if it waives swaps? Are the spreads and commissions really that high that they alone generate sufficient profit to forgo rollover fees?

We could even pretend we didn’t notice the word “laverage,” but it’s impossible not to see the toggle between trading accounts and copy trading accounts. The company included the toggle, but forgot to add any account types. What’s more, there is no mention of this highly sought-after feature on the site at all. There are no descriptions of strategies that serve as signal sources, not even a basic analysis of their performance, profitability, or risk levels. Not even a list of signal authors or the prices for using their trading signals is provided.

Important fact! After registration, we opened a Standard trading account in the personal area. We were offered a maximum leverage option of either 1:100 or 1:200. But the account types description shows leverage up to 1:500. What is this? A revision of trading conditions? Then why hasn’t the website been updated? Or, as often happens with scammers, does the right hand not know what the left hand is doing?

In fact, Real4invest.com’s offering differs little from the conditions published by other similar scam projects. It has all the hallmarks: huge leverage, incomplete disclosure of trading terms, and even inconsistencies between the information on the website and what appears in the client area or terminal. Can such a broker really be trusted?

The Reality Check

On the “About Us” page, while describing itself, the broker managed to formulate a couple of coherent sentences claiming how great it is. On the “Why Choose Us” page, it limited itself to listing rather illusory advantages. What the company definitely did not include on any page is detailed information about its history, registration date, or licensing.

Only in the footer can you find a registered address and some regulatory details. According to this information, the company is registered in Saint Lucia at: Ground Floor, The Sotheby Building, Rodney Village, Rodney Bay, Gros-Islet, Saint Lucia. Its operations are said to be regulated under The International Business Companies Act, Cap 12.14 of the Revised Laws of Saint Lucia.

A check confirms that a company named Real For Investment Ltd is indeed registered in Saint Lucia as an INC (International Business Company).

The firm was registered on October 18, 2024, and assigned registration number 2024-00621. However, the project’s owners are being misleading regarding regulation. The Revised Laws of Saint Lucia / The International Business Companies Act, particularly section 12.14, refer to responsibilities of company officers, its shares, etc. — in other words, internal company rules. Regulation of international brokerage services is not mentioned in the document at all.

Let us remind you that Saint Lucia’s financial regulator does not license or regulate this kind of activity. These powers have been delegated to the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB), and this organization has not issued any permits to Real4invest.com.

This information is also confirmed by data from MetaQuotes’ database. MetaTrader 5 was officially purchased by the broker from this company. The Saint Lucia registration is documented, as is the presence of an office (at least a virtual one, with a phone number) in the UK. However, even MetaQuotes’ data states that the broker operates without regulation.

As a result, Real4invest.com is officially registered but operates without a license. This means it is providing brokerage services illegally. Naturally, we cannot consider this platform legitimate.

How Long Has Real4invest.com Been in the Game?

The broker itself says nothing about its registration date or how long it has been operating online. From the official data, we saw that the company was registered in October 2024. All that remains is to determine how long it has been providing brokerage services online.

According to Whois data, the domain real4invest.com was registered on November 14, 2024. This aligns well with the company’s establishment date. However, the broker’s website likely appeared later — in February 2025, after the last significant update. At the time of writing this review, the platform has been accepting clients for either 2 or 5 months. That’s far too little time to build any kind of reputation within the trading community.

However, in the site’s footer, the broker states a copyright from 2018. The official registration data for the company and domain contradict this, but such a claim must have some basis. As it turns out, since 2018 the broker operated under the name Real For Investment (which unexpectedly matches the name of the registered company) on the domain realinvestfx.com. The address history is particularly interesting and can easily be viewed through web archive snapshots. In the beginning, the company listed an address in the USA — where CFD trading is prohibited. Then it changed its official address to the UK. However, it seems that users started asking about an FCA license, which the broker naturally did not have. Eventually, the project owners found a jurisdiction where they could register without having to obtain a license. In short, in 2024, the old site changed its name, then was deleted, and a new one appeared in its place.

Extra Fraud Indicators

Interestingly, we couldn’t find any large number of Real4invest.com reviews or a flood of comments about the broker’s previous version, despite it operating for six years. However, there are quite a few publications on specialized websites. Experts unanimously state that this platform cannot be trusted, and without a valid license, it is a scam. They do not recommend opening or funding accounts here.

Is Real4invest.com the Right Fit?

Judging by the materials we’ve collected in our Real4invest.com review, we are dealing with a scam broker that has been operating online for quite a while. The project owners officially registered a company to be able to offer traders the Metatrader terminal. But they didn’t go any further — the firm never obtained a license and provides its services illegally. Moreover, its trading conditions themselves inspire no confidence. We strongly recommend that anyone wishing to protect their capital avoid any interaction with this platform.

Weighing the Benefits and Drawbacks

The $200 minimum deposit is not very high, so trying out the broker won’t seriously impact a trader’s finances.

MetaTrader 5 offers demo accounts, allowing users to learn the platform's interface and test trading systems completely risk-free.

The broker is unlicensed and provides services illegally.

Trading conditions are not fully disclosed, and there are no contract specifications available on the website.

There is no actual client agreement; the Terms & Conditions only govern website use.

Leverage of 1:500 and 1:400 on some account types significantly increases trader risk to unacceptable levels.

Please be cautious! Do not work with Real4invest.com to avoid serious issues!
Unfortunately, when I started working with this broker, there were no reviews available yet. At first, this so-called broker assigned me an excellent manager (or so I thought). He helped me complete verification, fund my account, understand the platform, and more. However, when it came to withdrawing funds, he didn’t help. I couldn’t figure it out on my own, and when I asked for help, he first said there were technical issues preventing withdrawals, then stopped answering my calls altogether. The broker’s email turned out to be fake, and the phone lines went completely silent… It’s already been two weeks since I started trying to contact them — all in vain. I gave these scammers a significant amount of money.
Does anyone know how I might recover at least part of my investment?
