StreamSter review 2026: Former AGEA forex platform, license revoked and operations ceased
StreamSter was a proprietary forex trading platform used by the Podgorica-based Marketiva and later AGEA broker business that began in 2005. Its operator, AGEA International AD, lost its Montenegro investment-services license in April 2023 and completed voluntary dissolution in October 2024, so the platform no longer offers active trading accounts. It previously served retail clients in forex, metals, and CFDs alongside MT4.
What is StreamSter?
StreamSter was a proprietary platform, meaning software built for a broker rather than a third-party trading system. It was associated first with Marketiva and later with AGEA International AD, a Podgorica investment business that began operating in 2005. FXSharp classifies the business model as a market maker, where the broker can act as counterparty to client trades. The platform is no longer presented as an active broker platform for new trading accounts.
AGEA International AD completed a voluntary liquidation process in 2024. Its official notice dated 15 October 2024 states that the company had been deleted from Montenegro's Central Register of Business Entities. The same notice says all operations had ceased. This distinction matters because historical platform descriptions do not establish a current brokerage service.
Is StreamSter regulated? Verification check
StreamSter does not currently operate under an active investment-services license, according to FXSharp's research. The Capital Market Commission of Montenegro (SCMN) had licensed AGEA International AD under decision 03/2-2/2-19, issued in 2019. The regulator's 2023 annual report records that it revoked that license on 24 April 2023 (source: Capital Market Commission of Montenegro, 24 April 2023). A revoked license is not equivalent to a current authorization.
The regulatory position is therefore historical, not active. The same Montenegro report states that the commission circulated information about the license revocation through the IOSCO cooperation channel. AGEA later entered liquidation and was deregistered in October 2024. No active FCA, CySEC, ASIC, FINRA, or other major-jurisdiction forex authorization appears in FXSharp's research.
Trading platforms and current availability
Trading-platform availability is historical rather than current. StreamSter itself was the firm's proprietary interface, while MT4 (MetaTrader 4) also appears as a previously supported platform. The current profile does not verify an active MetaQuotes server, so the MT4 server status is recorded as Not Available. No active MT5 or cTrader service is listed.
The practical distinction is between legacy compatibility and a live brokerage connection. Platform software alone does not prove that an entity can lawfully accept new client funds. A trader checking an old installation, archived webpage, or MT4 reference should separately verify the operating entity and its current license status.
Red flags and warning signs
Red flags in this review come from public regulatory and corporate events, not from anonymous allegations. The first is the revoked Montenegro license in April 2023. The second is the operator's later liquidation and deregistration in October 2024. The third is a Québec warning directed at AGEA International AD, the company linked to the platform.
The Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), Québec's financial regulator, published a warning on 17 May 2023. It stated that AGEA International AD was not registered with the AMF. It also said the firm could not solicit Québec investors (source: Autorité des marchés financiers, 17 May 2023). The warning listed agea.com, marketiva.com, and related AGEA domains. It did not establish a separate active license for StreamSter.
Minimum deposit and account opening
Minimum-deposit data is N/A for the current profile because active account opening is not available. FXSharp does not list a current minimum deposit, leverage ratio, spread floor, account type, or payment method. These blanks should not be replaced with archived commercial terms as if they were current offers. The operator's dissolution makes those historical numbers operationally obsolete.
This also changes how archived reviews should be read. A past deposit threshold only described the service while the brokerage was operating. It does not create a present route for opening an account. Any website or message now offering an account under the old name requires a new entity and regulator check. An archived brand does not prove continuity.
Regulator warning-list checks
Warning-list research shows one verified public finding tied to the operator. The AMF warning dated 17 May 2023 says AGEA International AD lacked registration to solicit investors in Québec. This was a public warning (source: Autorité des marchés financiers, 17 May 2023). This is a jurisdiction-specific statement about Québec authorization. It should not be rewritten as a universal finding that every historical AGEA activity was unlawful.
The Montenegro finding is different because it concerns the firm's home investment-services license. SCMN recorded the license revocation on 24 April 2023 (source: Capital Market Commission of Montenegro, 24 April 2023). Taken together, the records show that the operator lost its Montenegro authorization and also faced a separate Canadian provincial warning concerning solicitation.
User complaints and public feedback
User-feedback evidence is not strong enough here to support a complaint-pattern claim. FXSharp's research does not provide a verified current user-aggregate score, review count, or consistent complaint category for StreamSter. The review therefore does not invent withdrawal delays, account freezes, bonus disputes, or support failures. Absence of verified complaint data is not evidence that such problems did or did not occur.
The stronger evidence comes from regulator and company records. Those records establish the revoked license, Québec solicitation warning, liquidation, and cessation of operations. For a defunct platform, those records carry more evidentiary weight than an undated forum post. They describe the legal status of the operating entity.
Withdrawal status and remaining balances
Withdrawal information now concerns former account balances rather than routine trading withdrawals. AGEA's official dissolution page tells former account holders who still hold funds to contact the company. It asks them to provide authorization data and identify the withdrawal method used for the original deposit. The page does not present a normal active-broker withdrawal timetable.
No verified evidence in FXSharp's research establishes a broad pattern of failed withdrawals. The correct distinction is that the firm has ceased operations while still publishing instructions for former clients with remaining balances. Anyone dealing with an old balance should preserve account statements, transaction receipts, identity-verification records, and all correspondence connected with the account.
How to verify the broker for yourself
License verification starts with the legal entity, not the platform name. The platform was a product name, while the relevant regulated entity was AGEA International AD in Podgorica. Searching only for the product name can miss the public record because regulators generally index companies by their legal names. The Montenegro decision number is 03/2-2/2-19.
- Search the Capital Market Commission of Montenegro for AGEA International AD and the decision number.
- Confirm the 24 April 2023 revocation in the regulator's 2023 annual report.
- Check the AMF investor-warning record for AGEA International AD dated 17 May 2023.
- Compare any current website, email, or payment instruction with AGEA's dissolution notice.
- Treat any new license claim as unverified until the named regulator confirms the exact entity.
Where was the business actually based?
The operating entity was based in Podgorica, Montenegro. AGEA International AD held its former investment-services authorization there, and the Montenegro regulator identified the company by that legal name. The location is materially different from a broker merely using a Montenegro mailing address because the firm previously appeared in the regulator's supervised investment-firm records.
That historical supervision ended when the license was revoked in 2023. The corporate lifecycle ended later through voluntary liquidation and deregistration in 2024. Current claims of a London, Cyprus, Australia, or other major financial-center base would therefore require separate verification against the exact legal entity making the claim.
Recovery options if you've already deposited
Recovery options depend on where the payment went and whether a balance remains recorded. AGEA's current official page instructs former account holders with funds to contact the company and provide authorization information plus the original deposit method. That is the first documented process in the operator's own post-liquidation notice. It does not guarantee a particular recovery result or processing time.
Former clients can also preserve a complete evidence file before approaching a bank, card issuer, payment provider, regulator, ombudsman, or court. Useful records include payment confirmations, account statements, emails, identity checks, and the beneficiary name on transfers. Chargeback or dispute windows vary by payment method and jurisdiction, so the availability of a route depends on the facts of each transaction.

Should you avoid StreamSter?
StreamSter is not an active regulated forex broker according to FXSharp's current research. Its former operator lost the Montenegro investment-services license in April 2023, then completed voluntary liquidation and deregistration in 2024. The AMF also warned in May 2023 that AGEA International AD was not authorized to solicit Québec investors.
The operational result is straightforward: there is no verified current account-opening service, active license, minimum deposit, leverage offer, or live platform server. Historical MT4 support and old branding do not change that status. Any present-day offer using the same names requires fresh entity-level verification before it can be treated as connected with the former licensed company.
