Bulk Base has been flagged by Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier 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.
Do not believe the bonus offer from Bulk Base. The turnover requirement is designed so you can never withdraw. I learned the hard way. I deposited through a podcast recommendation and the bonus terms were buried in pages of small print. My fault for not reading but their design is predatory.
Pros: Automated trading options|Customizable dashboard|Easy withdrawals|Easy to use platform
Cons: Slow to add new assets|Desktop app not available on Linux
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. Bulk Base said it was market conditions. Same news, another broker filled me properly. They are not honest.
Pros: Transparent fees|API access|Real-time alerts
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated
Bulk Base 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: Tax reports included|Good analytical tools
Cons: Inactivity fee applies after 12 months|Limited cryptocurrency options
Bulk Base 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|Demo account available|Competitive fees
Cons: No phone support on weekends
After for over three years with Bulk Base, 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: Educational resources|Good analytical tools
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed
Their two-factor authentication was optional when I joined. I enabled it. Later I lost my phone and could not log in. Bulk Base recovery process took 3 weeks and required notarized documents. By then I had missed important trades. Their security is your inconvenience.
Pros: Great customer service|Regular updates|Detailed reporting
Cons: Limited demo account features|Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
I was contacted by Bulk Base through social media. They promised guaranteed returns of 20-30% monthly. Being naive, I invested. The "account manager" pressured me to invest more and more. When I finally tried to take profit, my account was frozen and they stopped responding. Classic Ponzi/advance fee fraud.
Cons: Withdrawal fees demanded|Communication cut off|Not authorized
I closed a profitable position at Bulk Base 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: Risk management tools|Transparent fees|Reliable uptime|API access
Cons: Mobile app could be improved
My withdrawal request from Bulk Base 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: Reliable uptime|Real-time alerts|Professional team
Cons: Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
The mobile app from Bulk Base is dangerous. I placed an order that showed as pending, so I placed another. Both executed and I was overexposed. When I complained they said it was user error. The app design is misleading.
Pros: Clear documentation|Regular platform improvements|Detailed reporting|Two-factor authentication
Cons: Live chat only during business hours|Wait times can be long during peak hours
