Breakaway Market has been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority for "Unregistered/Unlicensed entity offering financial products or services". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
This company appears on the IOSCO I-SCAN international warnings list. Over 68 financial regulators worldwide contribute to this database. While being listed doesn't automatically mean fraud, it's a significant red flag that potential investors should take seriously. Do your research thoroughly.
Cons: Flagged by international regulators|Due diligence required
Breakaway Market 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: Regular platform improvements|Comprehensive tools|Customizable dashboard
Cons: Mobile app could be improved
Do not use Breakaway Market for anything serious. I used them for a few weeks now for small trades and it was okay. When I deposited a larger amount and traded more, my account was flagged, my withdrawals were delayed, and I was asked to explain my trading. They treat active traders like criminals.
Pros: Dedicated account manager|Regular updates|Quick verification
Cons: Email notifications too frequent|Desktop app not available on Linux
Tried to withdraw my funds from Breakaway Market 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: Withdrawal fees demanded|Communication cut off|Not authorized
After seeing ads for Breakaway Market online, I investigated. The company is listed in the IOSCO I-SCAN warnings database and has been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority. Their website looks professional but that means nothing - many scam operations invest heavily in appearance. Always check the regulatory warnings before investing.
Cons: Listed in warning databases|No transparency|Pressure to invest quickly
Where do I even begin with Breakaway Market? 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: Two-factor authentication|Market news feed
Cons: Live chat only during business hours|Desktop app not available on Linux
