Please answer.

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuhu
Online commodity trading is impermissible. It is also impermissible to recover any funds lost via such trading. Make Tawbah and repentance for committing such a sin and make a firm intention to refrain from impermissible business and trading activities.
