In February, True Forex Funds announced plans torelaunch its services after ceasing operations due to the alleged terminationof its MT4 and MT5 licenses by MetaQuotes.The firm's CEO, Richard Nagy, expressed frustration over the lack of warningand the subsequent challenges faced by traders in the proprietarytrading industry. Despite this, the company said it was determined to resumeits services, with plans to relaunch in the "week of February 19th."

Reacting to the abrupt closure, one user identified as Banjara on X mentioned: "True Forex Funds has shut down their shop and gone forever. They made millions and paid millions but at the end still it's traders who suffered. Funding gone and payouts blocked. It should be a lesson for other firms to manage risk well."

Another user identified on X as PropFirmDrama said: "True Forex Funds has officially closed down. We sincerely hope the prop firm community helps the traders who suffered from these devastating updates."

Setback from Industry Challenges

Earlier, True Forex Funds mentionedthat it was actively seeking the reinstatement of its licenses by MetaQuotes,although Nagy acknowledged the possibility of migrating trading accounts to adifferent broker if negotiations fail. Thecompany advised users to prepare for any outcome as the firm navigates uncertainties.

In anticipation of the relaunch, True ForexFunds promised users a seamless and superior trading experience. Last month, the firm introduced Match-Trader as a secondary tradingplatform available in select countries, including Germany, Austria, Sweden, and Hungary. This rollout was reportedly in response to the high demand, with approximately 10,000 accounts waiting for migration to the platform.
