I found DCBerlin after hearing about them at a conference and the initial impression was positive. But since mid-2025 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: Quick verification|Clear documentation|Multiple order types|No hidden fees
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated|Help articles are sometimes vague
I lost a significant amount because DCBerlin 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: Fast execution|Fast support response|Comprehensive tools
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods|Mobile app could be improved
Their two-factor authentication was optional when I joined. I enabled it. Later I lost my phone and could not log in. DCBerlin recovery process took 3 weeks and required notarized documents. By then I had missed important trades. Their security is your inconvenience.
Pros: Risk management tools|Detailed reporting|Great customer service|Wide product range
Cons: Search feature is basic
Do not believe the bonus offer from DCBerlin. 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: Multiple order types|Regular updates|Clear documentation|Dedicated account manager
Cons: No dark mode on mobile|Wait times can be long during peak hours
Several red flags with DCBerlin: (1) They promise unrealistically high returns, (2) They're not registered with Autorité des marchés financiers, (3) Their contact information is vague, (4) They pressure you to deposit quickly. I recommend everyone do thorough due diligence before investing with any company.
Cons: Flagged by Autorité des marchés financiers|Cannot verify credentials
I requested my data from DCBerlin 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: Detailed reporting|Professional team|Wide product range|Fast support response
Cons: No crypto staking
The hidden fees at DCBerlin 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: High security standards|Reliable uptime|Market news feed
Cons: Alert system is basic|Limited demo account features
I was contacted by DCBerlin 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.
Pros: Initially responsive customer service
Cons: Lost entire investment|Reported to authorities|Unresponsive
I am in a dispute with DCBerlin 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: Intuitive for beginners|Great customer service|Customizable dashboard|Good analytical tools
Cons: No live chat on mobile|No phone support on weekends
