I had a dispute with Global Trading 26 (globaltrading26.com) and went to their complaints process. They have an internal team that just defends the company. Then they said I could go to an ombudsman - but the ombudsman they use is industry-funded and rarely rules for the client. The system is rigged.
Pros: Demo account available|Intuitive for beginners|Regular updates
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers
Global Trading 26 (globaltrading26.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: Easy to use platform|Fast support response|High security standards|Dedicated account manager
Cons: Would like more payment methods|Limited demo account features
I have been trying to close my account with Global Trading 26 (globaltrading26.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: Regular updates|Good analytical tools|Transparent fees
Cons: Minimum deposit could be lower|Help articles are sometimes vague
Global Trading 26 (globaltrading26.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: Personal attention|Professional team
Cons: Could offer more webinars|Live chat only during business hours
Do not believe the bonus offer from Global Trading 26 (globaltrading26.com). The turnover requirement is designed so you can never withdraw. I learned the hard way. I deposited from a blog post comparing services and the bonus terms were buried in pages of small print. My fault for not reading but their design is predatory.
Pros: Personal attention|Dividend tracking
Cons: No fractional shares
Their two-factor authentication was optional when I joined. I enabled it. Later I lost my phone and could not log in. Global Trading 26 (globaltrading26.com) recovery process took 3 weeks and required notarized documents. By then I had missed important trades. Their security is your inconvenience.
Pros: Comprehensive tools|No hidden fees
Cons: Limited ETF selection
I signed up with Global Trading 26 (globaltrading26.com) through a podcast recommendation and the first red flag was the aggressive account manager who would not stop calling. After depositing, the promised support vanished. Withdrawals are delayed with endless excuses. I have reported them to the regulator.
Pros: Fast support response|Professional team|Comprehensive tools|Regular platform improvements
Cons: Would like more payment methods
I closed a profitable position at Global Trading 26 (globaltrading26.com) and the profit was not credited for 5 days. Support said it was a settlement delay. When it finally arrived it was less than the amount shown on the platform. They could not explain the difference. I have moved my account.
Pros: Good analytical tools|Tax reports included|Multiple order types|Clear documentation
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|Slow to add new assets
Do not use Global Trading 26 (globaltrading26.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: Transparent fees|Two-factor authentication
Cons: No phone support on weekends
I lost a significant amount because Global Trading 26 (globaltrading26.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: API access|Excellent charting|Great customer service
Cons: Email notifications too frequent|No crypto staking
