TurboForex is an offshore, self-regulated forex company and it is usually required that depending on the regulatory body it is registered to, that client funds are kept in accounts separate from the broker account.
It is not sure whether TurboForex abides by this regulation which makes the broker a risky one to trade with.

Traders must also ensure that they verify whether their financial institution waives its own fees as there may be additional fees payable. These often depend on the payment method used as well as the amount which is deposited into the trading account.
Step by step guide to depositing the minimum amount
When funding the trading account, traders can usually do it from their own bank account by sending the funds to one of the broker’s segregated client accounts.
Traders also have the option to log in to their personal area, select the option for deposits, and follow the instructions to deposit into their trading account. Traders must ensure that they select the correct deposit currency before they make a deposit.
Funds must be transferred in the same currency as the bank account to which they are sending them. Should this not be done, traders may be subjected to currency conversion fees.
