My unregulated MT5 broker, 'TradeVista Pro', just locked my trading account. Are my funds gone?
Feeling totally gutted right now. I put about 7,000 USD, which is a lot for me, into this broker called 'TradeVista Pro' after seeing some really good payouts on social media. They were using the MetaTrader 5 platform, which I thought meant they were legit, you know? For a few weeks, everything was fine, I saw some good 'profits' accumulate in my account. But when I tried to initiate my first withdrawal last week, maybe 2k, they just locked my whole account. I can't log in, can't see anything. I've sent emails, tried their chat, nothing. Just silence. I'm in Ras Al Khaimah, and i'm not sure who to even talk to here. Has anyone dealt with this kind of MT5 broker locking accounts before? Is there any way to get my money back at all, or should I just accept it as a really harsh lesson?
