Forex Com Close Account guide

Start by dealing with everything inside the account. Close or transfer open positions, cancel pending orders, and check for accrued items such as financing charges or unsettled trades that could change your final balance. Download your full trade history, statements and tax documents while you still have platform access, because retrieving records after closure can be slower or harder. If you hold positions in leveraged products, confirm how closing them affects your realised profit and loss before you act.

Confirm the current closure procedure directly with Forex Com: some brokers accept requests through the platform, others require a written or emailed instruction, and requirements can differ by entity and country. Verify which withdrawal methods are available for your remaining balance, whether withdrawals must return to the original funding source, and whether any withdrawal, transfer, currency conversion or dormancy fees apply. Get the steps and any fees confirmed in writing, and ask how long processing typically takes so you can follow up if the timeline slips.

Keep your downloaded statements and the written closure confirmation for as long as your local tax rules require, since realised gains, losses and any financing costs may need to be reported. Verify that no residual balances, fees or dormant sub-accounts remain, and confirm the broker's data retention position if that matters to you. If you are moving to a different provider, apply the same verification discipline: the /find-my-broker page walks through a selection checklist, the /invest-long-term hub covers planning guides, and /tools/brokerage-fee-calculator helps estimate costs at a replacement broker.
