CRESCENDO CAPITAL has been flagged by Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores 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.
I am in a dispute with CRESCENDO CAPITAL over a trade that was clearly erroneous. The price shown was wrong, I closed at a profit, and they reversed the trade and took the money back. They said it was a system error. So I lose and they keep? Unacceptable.
Pros: Clean UI|Regular platform improvements|Responsive team|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: Nothing significant|No phone support on weekends
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. CRESCENDO CAPITAL said it was market conditions. Same news, another broker filled me properly. They are not honest.
Pros: Wide product range|Automated trading options|Comprehensive tools
Cons: Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days|Currency conversion fee exists
CRESCENDO CAPITAL 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: Segregated accounts|Easy to use platform
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed|No integrated tax optimization
Do not be fooled by the professional-looking website. Behind the scenes, CRESCENDO CAPITAL is disorganized and incompetent. I found them after a family member had a good experience and I can only assume the positive reviews are either outdated or paid for because my experience was terrible.
Pros: Full transparency|Educational resources|Excellent charting|Market news feed
Cons: No fractional shares|Nothing significant
