Exclusive report: Valutrades to Exit Global Market, Positions Close Sept. 12

Valutrades is preparing to withdraw from its global client base, with remaining open positions scheduled for forced closure on September 12, 2026. The move would represent a full-scale withdrawal from client services rather than an exit from a single regional market.

According to a client notification, trading remained available until August 28, 2026, after which clients could only close existing positions. Any positions still open are scheduled to be automatically liquidated at market price on September 12 at 5:00 PM GMT.

Valutrades has also notified clients that it will stop providing client services from September 14, 2026.

The notification was initially received by some Chinese clients, leading to questions over whether the move was limited to China.

“As part of ongoing changes to our business direction and a recent strategic review of our operations, we have made adjustments. Please be advised that this decision affects our global client base. ”

The broker said deposits and withdrawals would remain available through September 13, although some deposit methods may become unavailable during the transition. The notification also stated that client funds would remain protected under applicable regulatory obligations during the process.

For clients with open positions, the September 12, 5:00 PM GMT deadline is the key date. Investors who do not close positions before the deadline face automatic liquidation at market price under the terms stated in the notification.

Valutrades Regulatory Structure and 2025 Financial Results

Valutrades operates through two regulated entities. Valutrades Limited is authorised by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under FRN 586541, while Valutrades (Seychelles) Limited is regulated by the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA) under Securities Dealer Licence No. SD028.

Valutrades Limited filed its group accounts for the year ended December 31, 2025, with Companies House on May 13, 2026. The company remains listed as an active company in the UK corporate register.

The 2025 accounts showed revenue of £2,254,556, compared with £1,935,292 in 2024, representing an increase of about 16%. Net loss narrowed substantially to £671,705 from £2,592,536 a year earlier.

Administrative expenses fell to £1,855,061 in 2025, compared with approximately £2.5 million in 2024. Retail client funds also declined to £1,116,905 from £1,784,863.

The company subsequently received an additional £600,000 shareholder capital injection, according to reports based on its filed accounts.

The financial statements also show changes in the company's management history. Liam Bonfield left his role as CFO in February 2024 after eight years with Valutrades.

What Should Valutrades Clients Do Before the Deadline?

Clients should review all open positions, account balances and withdrawal arrangements before the September 12 liquidation deadline. Those who want to control when and at what market conditions their positions are closed should not wait for the scheduled automatic liquidation.

Investors should also check which Valutrades legal entity services their account and review the applicable withdrawal procedures. Account statements, transaction records and communications with the broker should be retained for future reference.

The September 13 withdrawal deadline is also important. Clients should submit any necessary withdrawal requests before the stated service timetable and check whether their preferred payment method remains available.

Investor Warning

A broker's regulatory status does not guarantee that its services will continue indefinitely. When a broker announces a service withdrawal, investors should independently verify the legal entity, regulatory licence, account arrangements, withdrawal procedures and position-closure deadline.

Before choosing another Forex or CFD broker, investors should verify the broker's regulatory status and operating entity through reliable regulatory sources and independent broker-checking resources.
