// The Evidence Behind Each Pillar

Regulatory authorisation

No authorisation found · 46% of score

No licence located on any register covering the markets it solicits.

Named by regulators on two continents as having no permission to do what it advertises.

Regulator warnings

Warnings in several countries · 38% of score

Named by regulators in two or three jurisdictions.

The brand runs through a rotating set of domains, so check the exact address you were sent against each regulator's list rather than the brand name alone.

  • Regulator warning list
    Published on the FCA Warning List.

Client money protection

No protection · 15% of score

No segregation obligation and no scheme. Client funds sit on the firm's balance sheet.

No authorisation means no ombudsman and no compensation scheme — the money is gone in the ordinary case, not the exceptional one.

  • Regulator warning list
    Firms without FCA permission leave consumers with no access to the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

01Our Verdict on Immediate Edge

Immediate Edge is a automated trading system associated with UNKNOWN, stating it was established in 2020. Immediate Edge scores 1.2 out of 5.0 on the Forensic Trust Index — grade F, avoid — assessed on 2026-07-28 against 5 cited sources. Our finding in one line: Notorious auto-trader funnel for unregulated brokers.

The record is bad enough that we would not deposit here under any circumstances. If you already have money on the platform, try to withdraw it now. That verdict is a reading of documents, not a prediction — every one of them is linked in the evidence panel above, and you are meant to check them rather than trust us.

02What the Record Establishes

On 3 of the six pillars there are documents that settle the question for Immediate Edge: regulatory authorisation — no authorisation found; regulator warnings — warnings in several countries; client money protection — no protection. Those come from Financial Conduct Authority (UK) and Ontario Securities Commission (Canada), cited in full with links in the evidence panel above — that panel is the review; this is its summary.

03What We Could Not Establish

Nothing in the public record settles enforcement and litigation, corporate transparency and operating record for Immediate Edge. Those pillars go unscored, so Immediate Edge's 1.2 rests on 65% of the rubric — a narrower claim than the same figure carrying all six. Hold a document that closes one of these gaps? Send it, and the score moves.

04If You Have Money With Immediate Edge

Send nothing further — no release fee, tax, or verification deposit. Screenshot your balance, history and messages now. Then call your bank and say the word fraud; chargeback windows close in weeks. The step-by-step version is in the guides below.
