The AMF recalls that only companies that are authorised as investment services providers in the European Union are permitted to offer brokerage services, such as Forex or index trading.

The AMF also points out that leverage, by enabling investors to take a larger position than the amount they are prepared to invest, not only amplifies potential gains, but also losses in the event of an unfavourable market trend. Consequently, investors can lose more than their initial investment if prices move against them. In Europe, leverage has been voluntarily capped to protect retail investors against the risk of excessive losses.

The LIVAXXEN trading platform does not presently have any authorisation whatsoever permitting it to offer investment services in Europe. It has been on the Forex blacklist since 7 October 2024.
