From my perspective as an experienced trader who values clear regulatory oversight, UP TREND raises several concerns that weigh heavily on my assessment of its trustworthiness. Despite having been around for over two decades and offering a broad suite of financial services—including brokerage, asset management, and advisory—the fact that UP TREND currently operates without valid regulatory supervision is, in my view, a significant red flag. In my own trading journey, I have seen that regulation serves as a primary safeguard for client funds and transparent business practices. With UP TREND, its historical presence in Bulgaria and previous affiliations with recognized institutions do indicate some permanence and local credibility. However, for me, this background does not compensate for the lack of up-to-date oversight by a respected authority. The forex market is already volatile, and engaging with an unregulated broker exposes traders to additional risks, such as insufficient fund protection and weaker mechanisms for dispute resolution. While UP TREND offers access to diverse instruments and partners with reputable market data providers, these strengths do not outweigh concerns about fund safety and recourse in the event of an issue. For traders prioritizing capital security, I would advise approaching this broker with great caution and, where possible, considering regulated alternatives. Ultimately, for my own trading, regulation remains non-negotiable when it comes to reliability and trust.
