The complaint distribution is based on the 1-star reviews on EC Markets' Trustpilot page (58) as of 7 October 2026; one person's reviews count once, and records about fake sites and third parties using the EC Markets name are left out. Across the complaints, accounts frozen after withdrawal requests with profits and principal withheld, and profits cancelled as 'toxic flow' or arbitrage stand out.
