My card was charged twice by Forest Fin (forrestfin.com) on the same day. I had to dispute it with my bank. Forest Fin (forrestfin.com) then froze my account and said I had a negative balance because of the chargeback. They created the problem and then punished me for it.
Pros: Helpful community forum|Fast deposits|Clean UI|Economic calendar
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers
After for about five months with Forest Fin (forrestfin.com) I requested to close my account and withdraw. They said I had to complete a 30-day cooling-off period. Then they said there was a minimum holding period for my last deposit. They make it as hard as possible to leave.
Pros: Professional team|Economic calendar
Cons: Limited cryptocurrency options|Spreads widen during volatile periods
My withdrawal request from Forest Fin (forrestfin.com) 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: Fast support response|Clear documentation|Economic calendar
Cons: No dark mode on mobile|Currency conversion fee exists
I had high hopes for Forest Fin (forrestfin.com) while looking for alternatives to my previous provider, but my experience has been disappointing. Customer support is slow, the platform has frequent issues, and their fee structure is not as transparent as advertised. I am actively looking for alternatives now.
Pros: Comprehensive tools|Stable platform|Risk management tools|Copy trading available
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists|Limited ETF selection
I requested my data from Forest Fin (forrestfin.com) 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: Customizable dashboard|Fast deposits|Automated trading options|Full transparency
Cons: Wait times can be long during peak hours|Limited social trading features
I lost a significant amount because Forest Fin (forrestfin.com) 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: Social trading features|Customizable dashboard
Cons: Slow to add new assets|Wait times can be long during peak hours
Forest Fin (forrestfin.com) offers copy trading. I copied a top trader. The copy trades often executed at worse prices than the original. When I asked why they said it was due to latency and liquidity. So the feature is broken or they are skimming. Either way I stopped using it.
Pros: Clear documentation|Dividend tracking
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources|Some tools only available on higher tiers
The platform at Forest Fin (forrestfin.com) is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After since I retired last year of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: Real-time alerts|Responsive team|Reliable uptime|Professional team
Cons: Slow to add new assets
I joined Forest Fin (forrestfin.com) after a friend recommended them and from the start, things felt off. The signup process collected far more personal information than necessary, the verification took unreasonably long, and when I finally got access, the platform was nothing like what was advertised.
Pros: Regular updates|Intuitive for beginners|Easy to use platform
Cons: Mobile app could be improved
After for over three years with Forest Fin (forrestfin.com), 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: Portfolio tracking tools|Clear documentation|Transparent fees|Good analytical tools
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists
