The only good thing about Beijing International Research is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them while looking for alternatives to my previous provider. 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: Automated trading options|Multiple order types
Cons: Limited demo account features|Limited cryptocurrency options
I experienced a security concern with my Beijing International Research account and reported it immediately. Their response time was inexcusable for a financial platform. It took them four days to acknowledge my report and another week to actually address it.
Pros: Customizable dashboard|Great customer service|Segregated accounts
Cons: Email notifications too frequent|Slow to add new assets
Their two-factor authentication was optional when I joined. I enabled it. Later I lost my phone and could not log in. Beijing International Research recovery process took 3 weeks and required notarized documents. By then I had missed important trades. Their security is your inconvenience.
Pros: Detailed reporting|Social trading features|Economic calendar|Portfolio tracking tools
Cons: Charting tools need more indicators|Nothing significant
Where do I even begin with Beijing International Research? 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: Helpful community forum|Low minimum deposit|Portfolio tracking tools
Cons: Alert system is basic
I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to Beijing International Research. 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: Intuitive for beginners|Good analytical tools
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers|Research section could be deeper
The onboarding at Beijing International Research 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: Wide product range|Clear documentation|Market news feed|Automated trading options
Cons: Mobile app could be improved
The hidden fees at Beijing International Research 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: Multi-device support|Tax reports included
Cons: Slow to add new assets
Opened my account with Beijing International Research through a podcast recommendation and regretted it within the first month. The platform crashed during a critical moment, I lost potential gains, and support basically told me it was not their problem. Absolutely unacceptable behavior.
Pros: Customizable dashboard|Two-factor authentication|Easy to use platform|Professional team
Cons: Website design could be more modern|No phone support on weekends
I requested my data from Beijing International Research 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: Full transparency|Comprehensive tools
Cons: Search feature is basic|Research section could be deeper
I lost a significant amount because Beijing International Research 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: Competitive fees|Multiple order types|Responsive team|Two-factor authentication
Cons: Nothing significant
