Advanced-Gold (Imposter) has been flagged by Financial Markets Authority for "Registered/Licensed entity impersonators|Fraud and Other Types of Misconduct". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
The only good thing about Advanced-Gold (Imposter) is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them after seeing their ad online. They are regulated in a jurisdiction with weak consumer protection. When things went wrong I had nowhere to turn. Stick to well-regulated brokers.
Pros: Educational resources|Customizable dashboard|Tax reports included|Competitive fees
Cons: Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that Advanced-Gold (Imposter) is not authorized by any legitimate financial regulator. They are operating illegally. The website looks very professional but it's all a facade. Please check the regulatory warnings database before investing with ANY company.
Pros: Initially responsive customer service
Cons: Lost entire investment|Reported to authorities|Unresponsive
I found Advanced-Gold (Imposter) after attending a webinar they hosted and the initial impression was positive. But for over a year later, I have encountered so many issues that I cannot recommend them. Trades failing, charts not loading, and support tickets going unanswered for days at a time.
Pros: Fast support response|Demo account available
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux
Advanced-Gold (Imposter) offers copy trading. I copied a top trader. The copy trades often executed at worse prices than the original. When I asked why they said it was due to latency and liquidity. So the feature is broken or they are skimming. Either way I stopped using it.
Pros: Clean UI|Regular updates|Portfolio tracking tools
Cons: No phone support on weekends
