FIRST NOTCH TRADING caught our team’s attention for a simple reason: the public footprint does not line up with how a regulated broker normally operates.
| Operator | FIRST NOTCH TRADING |
| Public website | https://firstnotchtrading.com/ |
| Stated HQ | undisclosed |
| Regulators | no verifiable regulator on file |
| Broker type | unspecified |
How losses unfold
Withdrawal attempts from FIRST NOTCH TRADING typically generate the same response set: identity verification loops, “risk reviews,” and surprise fees that conveniently land at exactly the amount of remaining balance.
Red flags on file
- Crypto-only on-ramp. The operator only accepts USDT, BTC, or other crypto deposits, removing every chargeback or banking-side recourse path.
- Regulator silence. FIRST NOTCH TRADING either claims a license that cannot be cross-checked, or names a regulator that has never heard of the entity.
If you’ve already engaged
Do not engage with anyone offering recovery in exchange for upfront fees, gift cards, or your seed phrase. We never ask for any of those, and neither does any legitimate recovery service.

Cryptoblackbird never asks for your seed phrase, private keys, or exchange password. Anyone who does — even someone claiming to represent us — is running a recovery scam.
