Gatevex has been flagged by Ontario Securities Commission for "Unregistered/Unlicensed entity offering financial products or services". Gatevex found at http://gatevex.com/ is not registered in Ontario to engage in the business of trading in securities. This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
Gatevex 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: Instant funding|Smooth onboarding|Clear documentation|Customizable dashboard
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague
I joined Gatevex through a podcast recommendation 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: Good mobile app|Helpful community forum|Automated trading options|Full transparency
Cons: Limited ETF selection
My withdrawal from Gatevex was rejected three times for vague reasons. Each time they asked for more documents. When I finally provided everything, they said my account was under review. for over a year of being strung along.
Pros: Good mobile app|Tax reports included|Market news feed
Cons: Minor UI glitches occasionally|Help articles are sometimes vague
I lost a significant amount because Gatevex 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: Customizable dashboard|Easy withdrawals|Stable platform
Cons: None so far
I want to warn everyone about Gatevex. They have been flagged by Ontario Securities Commission as an unauthorized entity. I wish I had checked before investing. They use high-pressure sales tactics and fake testimonials. Once you send money, getting it back is nearly impossible.
Cons: Lost entire investment|Reported to authorities|Unresponsive
Several red flags with Gatevex: (1) They promise unrealistically high returns, (2) They're not registered with Ontario Securities Commission, (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.
Pros: Website looks legitimate on the surface
Cons: Not registered with regulators|Unrealistic promises
Their two-factor authentication was optional when I joined. I enabled it. Later I lost my phone and could not log in. Gatevex recovery process took 3 weeks and required notarized documents. By then I had missed important trades. Their security is your inconvenience.
Pros: Copy trading available|Multi-currency support
Cons: Minor UI glitches occasionally|Would like more payment methods
I gave Gatevex a fair chance. After for about five months of usage, I can say with confidence that there are far better options available. The interface is clunky, the fees are higher than competitors, and the customer support team seems overwhelmed or understaffed.
Pros: Comprehensive tools|Two-factor authentication
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources|Limited demo account features
What really bothers me about Gatevex is the disconnect between their marketing and reality. They position themselves as a premium service but deliver a below-average experience. Found them based on a colleague's recommendation and I fell for the polished exterior. Never again.
Pros: Intuitive for beginners|Low minimum deposit
Cons: Limited demo account features|Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
