Who else uses this address
12 other brokers in this set publish an address on Canada Square. When that many financial firms name one building, it is usually a registered-office or mail-forwarding service, and an address of that kind tells you where the post arrives rather than where anyone works.
Across the 12 other visits to that address, the team found nothing 5 times and could not get access 7 times. Among them are Top Pips Investment, XB Future and AB Forex.
This visit ended differently from most of the others, which is worth weighing against the pattern at the address.
What the published address commits to
Optimal Forex Trading publishes a floor and a room rather than only a building, which is the more checkable kind of address: it can be walked to and either holds the company or does not.
The picture in E14
46 of the addresses the team has visited sit in the E14 postcode district. Across the 45 other visits to E14, the team confirmed an office 3 times, found nothing 20 times and could not get access 22 times.
Others in the same district include Profix Capital, Quantratrades and Revival X.
Reading the checks together
In short, the building was the one the address names, there was no sign for the company outside, it was not in the building directory and reception could not say either way. No single check settles an outcome on its own, which is why each one is listed above rather than folded into a verdict.
What this outcome means
Office not found. The researcher could not identify the broker or relevant entity at the stated address.
A field survey confirms only what was observed at the stated address and time. It does not verify regulatory status, client-money handling, trading conditions or financial strength. The photographs are the team's own, taken at the location on the day, and may be cropped for privacy. Read how surveys are conducted.
