<![CDATA[withdrawal taking 8 days and counting - normal processing or early warning sign]]>requested withdrawal 8 days ago, still pending. support says "processing" each time i ask. amount is $2400 which isn't huge but it's mine. never had an issue with deposits, this is my first withdrawal attempt with this broker.

trying to figure out if this is just slow admin or if i should be actually worried. they're regulated (cysec) and have been around since 2017. what's a normal withdrawal timeline and at what point should i escalate?
