Japan is “Part of the Company’s DNA”

— Mr. Nordine Mejdi (TradingCult)

Official Views on the Withdrawal Refusal Issue
Regarding the criticism on Trustpilot reviews and withdrawal refusals, Mr. Nordine explained as follows.
“First of all, I would like to tell you that not all negative reviews are actually from real customers. Many of them are not genuine, and we are actively working with TrustPilot to identify and remove them.”
He also clearly explained the legitimate reasons for withdrawal refusals:
“The biggest misconception is that traders misunderstand the meaning of a prop trading account. Many of them have a gambling mentality, betting everything on one bet, forgetting about news trading, or trading with very high leverage and extremely large volumes.”
“We are not gamblers, but seeking prop traders.”
