Gates-bridge (gates-bridge.com) 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: Smooth onboarding|Detailed reporting
Cons: No fractional shares|Limited demo account features
The hidden fees at Gates-bridge (gates-bridge.com) 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: Multi-currency support|Helpful community forum|Fast deposits
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|Live chat only during business hours
Do not believe the bonus offer from Gates-bridge (gates-bridge.com). 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: Regular platform improvements|Stable platform|Personal attention|Copy trading available
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods
Gates-bridge (gates-bridge.com) 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: Multi-currency support|Economic calendar|Clear documentation
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated|Minor UI glitches occasionally
I am in a dispute with Gates-bridge (gates-bridge.com) 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: Social trading features|Clear documentation
Cons: No phone support on weekends
