Alpha Trust Management has been flagged by Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier for "Unregistered/Unlicensed entity offering financial products or services|Fraud ...". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
Their execution during news is terrible. I had limit orders in place. When the news hit, my orders were not filled at the limit price - they were filled much worse. Alpha Trust Management said it was market conditions. Same news, another broker filled me properly. They are not honest.
Pros: Real-time alerts|Excellent charting
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|Charting tools need more indicators
Tried to withdraw my funds from Alpha Trust Management 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.
Cons: Lost entire investment|Reported to authorities|Unresponsive
Alpha Trust Management seems more interested in acquiring new customers than taking care of existing ones. The marketing is aggressive but the product is mediocre. Once you are past the honeymoon period, the cracks in their service become very apparent.
Pros: Fast execution|Good analytical tools|Educational resources|Professional team
Cons: Email notifications too frequent|Limited demo account features
Alpha Trust Management changed their fee structure with one month notice. What was a flat fee became a percentage. For my account size it meant a huge increase. When I objected they said I could leave. So I am leaving and writing this review.
Pros: Instant funding|Customizable dashboard|Fast execution|Automated trading options
Cons: Alert system is basic|Nothing significant
The spread at Alpha Trust Management is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them after seeing their ad online and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.
Pros: Market news feed|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: No integrated tax optimization|Minimum deposit could be lower
Alpha Trust Management had an outage that lasted several hours during a major market event. Not only did they fail to prevent it, but they also failed to communicate what was happening. We were left in the dark while our investments were at risk.
Pros: Economic calendar|Good mobile app|Automated trading options
Cons: Limited cryptocurrency options|No crypto staking
After for about ten months with Alpha Trust Management, I can only describe the experience as death by a thousand cuts. No single issue was catastrophic, but the constant stream of small problems, slow responses, and missing features wore me down until I finally left.
Pros: Demo account available|Easy to use platform
Cons: Charting tools need more indicators|Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
The hidden fees at Alpha Trust Management are the real scandal here. What they advertise and what they actually charge are two different things. By the time I realized how much I was paying in various fees and spreads, I had already lost a meaningful amount.
Pros: Segregated accounts|High security standards
Cons: Minimum deposit could be lower|Mobile app could be improved
The onboarding at Alpha Trust Management 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: Low minimum deposit|Clear documentation|Regular updates|Helpful community forum
Cons: Inactivity fee applies after 12 months|None so far
Several red flags with Alpha Trust Management: (1) They promise unrealistically high returns, (2) They're not registered with Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier, (3) Their contact information is vague, (4) They pressure you to deposit quickly. I recommend everyone do thorough due diligence before investing with any company.
Cons: Listed in warning databases|No transparency|Pressure to invest quickly
