    Is BuoyTrade legit? What the record shows

    We don't rate firms or give a verdict on any firm. What we can show is how much BuoyTrade puts in writing: its own pages state 28 of the 30 terms we look for (read 11 November 2026).

    Publishes its own pass or payout rates
    Yes
    Names the company behind it
    BuoyTrade Private Limited
    States how it pays you
    bank wire, PayPal or Wise
    Publishes a country list
    Yes

    What this can't show: whether any one trader got paid. We don't collect traders' payout reports, so weigh reviews elsewhere with care. The count is mechanical, not a recommendation.
