I referred a friend to Fortress International Inc after reading several online reviews. We both deposited. The referral bonus never arrived. Support said we did not meet the terms. When we asked which terms they pointed to a clause that was added after we signed up. Shady.
Pros: Automated trading options|Stable platform|Reliable uptime
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague
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. Fortress International Inc said it was market conditions. Same news, another broker filled me properly. They are not honest.
Pros: Multiple order types|Transparent fees|Full transparency|High security standards
Cons: Email notifications too frequent
I opened an account with Fortress International Inc for just over a year ago. The platform frequently logs you out, orders fail to execute at the stated price, and when you complain they blame your internet connection. I have screenshots proving otherwise.
Pros: API access|Stable platform
Cons: No dark mode on mobile|Onboarding videos are outdated
I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to Fortress International Inc. They said they do not accept in-kind transfers for my asset type. I had to sell, withdraw, deposit, and rebuy - incurring taxes and spread costs. They did not tell me this before I signed up.
Pros: High security standards|Real-time alerts|No hidden fees
Cons: No integrated tax optimization|Limited cryptocurrency options
The so-called education at Fortress International Inc is just marketing. Every webinar ends with a push to deposit more. The market analysis is generic and often wrong. If you want real education go elsewhere. I wasted since I opened my account last year thinking they would help me learn.
Pros: Professional team|Low minimum deposit
Cons: Could offer more webinars
The platform at Fortress International Inc is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After since the beginning of the year of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: No hidden fees|Detailed reporting|Multi-currency support
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|Wish they had more educational resources
Fortress International Inc seems more interested in acquiring new customers than taking care of existing ones. The marketing is aggressive but the product is mediocre. Once you are past the honeymoon period, the cracks in their service become very apparent.
Pros: Customizable dashboard|Regular updates
Cons: Alert system is basic
What really bothers me about Fortress International Inc is the disconnect between their marketing and reality. They position themselves as a premium service but deliver a below-average experience. Found them after comparing multiple platforms and I fell for the polished exterior. Never again.
Pros: API access|Fast execution|Quick verification
Cons: None so far|Desktop app not available on Linux
I lost a significant amount because Fortress International Inc 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: High security standards|Regular updates|Wide product range|Good analytical tools
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux|Wish they had more educational resources
Fortress International Inc 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: Full transparency|Multiple order types|Instant funding|Personal attention
Cons: None so far|No integrated tax optimization
