Agile Traders has been flagged by Financial Services and Markets Authority for "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.
I had high hopes for Agile Traders through my accountant's suggestion, but my experience has been disappointing. Customer support is slow, the platform has frequent issues, and their fee structure is not as transparent as advertised. I am actively looking for alternatives now.
Pros: Educational resources|Quick verification|Two-factor authentication|API access
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated
I opened an account with Agile Traders for nearly two years ago. The platform frequently logs you out, orders fail to execute at the stated price, and when you complain they blame your internet connection. I have screenshots proving otherwise.
Pros: Intuitive for beginners|Competitive fees|Low minimum deposit
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux
Tried to withdraw my funds from Agile Traders and was told I needed to pay a "withdrawal tax" of 20%. This is a red flag. No legitimate broker charges withdrawal taxes. When I refused, they became aggressive and eventually stopped all communication. My entire investment is gone.
Pros: Professional looking website
Cons: Blocked my account|No legitimate license|Fake returns
After seeing ads for Agile Traders online, I investigated. The company is listed in the IOSCO I-SCAN warnings database and has been flagged by Financial Services and Markets Authority. Their website looks professional but that means nothing - many scam operations invest heavily in appearance. Always check the regulatory warnings before investing.
Cons: Flagged by Financial Services and Markets Authority|Cannot verify credentials
My withdrawal from Agile Traders was rejected three times for vague reasons. Each time they asked for more documents. When I finally provided everything, they said my account was under review. for about five months of being strung along.
Pros: Dedicated account manager|Portfolio tracking tools|Instant funding
Cons: Could offer more webinars|No integrated tax optimization
My withdrawal request from Agile Traders has been pending for over two weeks now. Every time I contact support, I get the same copy-paste response about processing times. This is unacceptable for a financial platform in this day and age.
Pros: Multiple order types|Fast support response|Social trading features
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux|No dark mode on mobile
I lost a significant amount because Agile Traders did not execute my stop loss during a flash crash. They said the market was illiquid. Other brokers managed to execute. I have no proof they did not trade against me. Avoid.
Pros: Wide product range|Transparent fees
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods
The onboarding at Agile Traders was smooth which makes the subsequent experience even more frustrating. Once they have your money, the quality of service drops dramatically. Getting anyone to help you with an actual problem is nearly impossible.
Pros: Multiple order types|Multi-device support|Market news feed
Cons: Limited ETF selection|No phone support on weekends
I closed a profitable position at Agile Traders and the profit was not credited for 5 days. Support said it was a settlement delay. When it finally arrived it was less than the amount shown on the platform. They could not explain the difference. I have moved my account.
Pros: Market news feed|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux|No crypto staking
After for close to eighteen months with Agile Traders I requested to close my account and withdraw. They said I had to complete a 30-day cooling-off period. Then they said there was a minimum holding period for my last deposit. They make it as hard as possible to leave.
Pros: Portfolio tracking tools|Reliable uptime|Segregated accounts|Fast execution
Cons: Slow to add new assets|Limited demo account features
