If you are reading this considering GIM Trading (gimtrading.com) - run. I wish I had read more negative reviews through my accountant's suggestion. I thought the positive ones were real. Maybe some are. My experience over for about five months has been so bad I feel obligated to warn others. Do not make my mistake.
Pros: Demo account available|Wide product range
Cons: No dark mode on mobile|Alert system is basic
The mobile app from GIM Trading (gimtrading.com) is dangerous. I placed an order that showed as pending, so I placed another. Both executed and I was overexposed. When I complained they said it was user error. The app design is misleading.
Pros: Dividend tracking|Excellent charting|Tax reports included
Cons: Email notifications too frequent
I had high hopes for GIM Trading (gimtrading.com) after reading several online reviews, 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: Educational resources|Customizable dashboard
Cons: Research section could be deeper
After for roughly four months with GIM Trading (gimtrading.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: Reliable uptime|Market news feed|Regular updates
Cons: Research section could be deeper|Charting tools need more indicators
Customer support at GIM Trading (gimtrading.com) seems to be run by people who have never used the platform. Every time I call with an issue, I end up explaining how their own system works before they can help me. It would be funny if my money was not involved.
Pros: Responsive team|Social trading features
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|Could offer more webinars
I lost a significant amount because GIM Trading (gimtrading.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: Clear documentation|Great customer service|Good mobile app|Excellent charting
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources|Website design could be more modern
GIM Trading (gimtrading.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: Customizable dashboard|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed|Would like more payment methods
The spread at GIM Trading (gimtrading.com) is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them based on a colleague's recommendation and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.
Pros: Regular updates|Multiple order types|Great customer service|Dividend tracking
Cons: Research section could be deeper
