Founded around 2008, Maxi Forex (operated by MaxiServices Ltd.) positioned itself as an international online broker for retail clients. The company provided access to the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) platform, offering trading on currency pairs, commodities, and indices. It heavily focused on the CIS market, providing educational materials, market analysis, and support in Russian. The company has since faced numerous regulatory warnings and widespread allegations of fraudulent practices, leading to the cessation of its legitimate operations.
