According to the website, TradeInvest90 is an online trading provider that offers over 1,000 financial assets traded in CFDs and FX. Tradeinvest90 is owned and operated by Celestial Trading Ltd. licensed and regulated by the Montenegro security exchange commission. However, the company is not actually regulated by any of the authorities and is not entitled to operate in Europe or on any other regulated market. Also, turned out that Celestial Trading Ltd. is registered offshore, in Seychelles. Those brokers registered offshore are not considered as reliable ones, because they are basically are not overseen by any authority.
