American Futures and Options Trading Commission 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: Smooth onboarding|Multiple order types|Good mobile app
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources|None so far
I closed a profitable position at American Futures and Options Trading Commission 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: Demo account available|Regular platform improvements
Cons: Minor UI glitches occasionally
I opened an account with American Futures and Options Trading Commission since I opened my account last year 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: Clean UI|Smooth onboarding|Quick verification|Easy withdrawals
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed|Search feature is basic
I requested my data from American Futures and Options Trading Commission under GDPR. They sent a partial export that was missing months of transactions. When I asked for the rest they said it was a technical issue. Still waiting. They do not take data rights seriously.
Pros: Transparent fees|Fast support response|Quick verification
Cons: No fractional shares
American Futures and Options Trading Commission 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: Fast deposits|High security standards|Full transparency
Cons: Limited demo account features
My withdrawal request from American Futures and Options Trading Commission 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: Fast execution|Social trading features
Cons: No phone support on weekends
I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to American Futures and Options Trading Commission. They said they do not accept in-kind transfers for my asset type. I had to sell, withdraw, deposit, and rebuy - incurring taxes and spread costs. They did not tell me this before I signed up.
Pros: High security standards|API access
Cons: Website design could be more modern
I found American Futures and Options Trading Commission after my brother mentioned them and the initial impression was positive. But for just 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: Regular updates|Multiple order types|Educational resources|Smooth onboarding
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux
The so-called education at American Futures and Options Trading Commission is just marketing. Every webinar ends with a push to deposit more. The market analysis is generic and often wrong. If you want real education go elsewhere. I wasted for close to eighteen months thinking they would help me learn.
Pros: Responsive team|Competitive fees
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists|None so far
Where do I even begin with American Futures and Options Trading Commission? for a few weeks now of broken promises, unanswered tickets, and a platform that feels like it was built in 2010. They spend more on marketing than on actually improving their service. Stay away from this company.
Pros: Clear documentation|Detailed reporting
Cons: No phone support on weekends|No dark mode on mobile
