Glenstone Capital (cfd.glen-capital.com) has been flagged by ASIC (Australia) for "Unlicensed". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm. Website domain: cfd.glen-capital.com.
After for the past year and a half with Glenstone Capital (cfd.glen-capital.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: Demo account available|Easy withdrawals
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully
Do not use Glenstone Capital (cfd.glen-capital.com) for anything serious. I used them for a few weeks now for small trades and it was okay. When I deposited a larger amount and traded more, my account was flagged, my withdrawals were delayed, and I was asked to explain my trading. They treat active traders like criminals.
Pros: Intuitive for beginners|Excellent charting|Good analytical tools
Cons: Would like more payment methods
I have been trying to close my account with Glenstone Capital (cfd.glen-capital.com) for weeks now and they keep giving me the runaround. First it was a form to fill out, then identity verification again, then a mandatory phone call that never gets scheduled. They make leaving impossible.
Pros: API access|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: Website design could be more modern|Limited social trading features
The spread at Glenstone Capital (cfd.glen-capital.com) is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them through my accountant's suggestion and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.
Pros: Portfolio tracking tools|Automated trading options
Cons: Search feature is basic|Limited social trading features
Do not be fooled by the professional-looking website. Behind the scenes, Glenstone Capital (cfd.glen-capital.com) is disorganized and incompetent. I found them after attending a webinar they hosted and I can only assume the positive reviews are either outdated or paid for because my experience was terrible.
Pros: Multi-device support|Detailed reporting|Risk management tools
Cons: Email notifications too frequent
I lost a significant amount because Glenstone Capital (cfd.glen-capital.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: Segregated accounts|Low minimum deposit
Cons: Wait times can be long during peak hours|Help articles are sometimes vague
The platform at Glenstone Capital (cfd.glen-capital.com) is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After for over a year of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: Smooth onboarding|Comprehensive tools|Risk management tools|Excellent charting
Cons: Wait times can be long during peak hours
Do not believe the bonus offer from Glenstone Capital (cfd.glen-capital.com). The turnover requirement is designed so you can never withdraw. I learned the hard way. I deposited after seeing their ad online and the bonus terms were buried in pages of small print. My fault for not reading but their design is predatory.
Pros: Professional team|Stable platform|Multiple order types|Competitive fees
Cons: No dark mode on mobile
I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to Glenstone Capital (cfd.glen-capital.com). 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: No hidden fees|Instant funding|Social trading features
Cons: Minor UI glitches occasionally|Limited ETF selection
Glenstone Capital (cfd.glen-capital.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: No hidden fees|Multi-currency support|Demo account available|Automated trading options
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods
