Complaints and Protection of Trader Rights

FX Recap is dedicated to promoting a transparent and fair trading environment. This policy outlines the procedures for submitting complaints related to the FX Recap Platform and provides essential guidance on how traders can exercise their rights when facing disputes with regulated financial service providers (brokers).

I. Internal Complaint Handling (Disputes Against FX Recap)

If you have a formal complaint or dispute concerning content, a published review, or an alleged violation of our policies, you should follow our Internal Dispute Resolution (IDR) process:

• Submission: Complaints must be submitted via email to our designated contact point. Include all factual details (who, what, when, where, why).
• Documentation and Impartiality: A complaint officer will document and manage the allegation impartially.
• Due Process: If the complaint is against an author or editorial staff, they will be contacted to respond.
• Confidentiality and Consequences: The IDR process is confidential, with records retained for a defined period. Malicious complaints will be addressed appropriately.

II. External Dispute Resolution (EDR) for Traders and Brokers

1. The Cornerstone: Regulation: Legal leverage depends on whether the broker is registered with a major regulatory authority (e.g., CFTC/NFA, FSA, BaFin, FINMA).
2. Mandatory Broker Internal Resolution: Traders must attempt resolution through the broker’s IDR procedure. Timeline: 14 days for response for regulated entities.
3. Escalation to EDR Bodies: If unsatisfied, traders may escalate to the relevant EDR body.
   • Financial Commission (FC) Process: Non-judicial dispute mechanism, free for traders, complaints filed within 45 days.
   • Binding Decisions: FC’s Dispute Resolution Committee decisions are binding on the broker. Traders can accept or pursue further legal action.
   • Regulatory Reporting (US): FINRA monitors complaints exceeding $25,000; may forward to SEC, NFA, CFTC.

III. General Trader Rights and Recourse

• Right to Legal Recourse: Seek a lawyer if investment mismanaged or broker breaks the law.
• Data Subject Rights (Digital Protection):
  • Right to Correction: Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
  • Right to Deletion: Request deletion of personal data, subject to legal exceptions.
  • Right to Complain to Supervisory Authority: GDPR-covered individuals may complain to local supervisory authority.
