Where do I even begin with Harper Stone (harper-stone.io)? for roughly four months of broken promises, unanswered tickets, and a platform that feels like it was built in 2010. They spend more on marketing than on actually improving their service. Stay away from this company.
Pros: Smooth onboarding|Educational resources|Two-factor authentication|Good mobile app
Cons: No fractional shares|Nothing significant
My withdrawal request from Harper Stone (harper-stone.io) has been pending for over two weeks now. Every time I contact support, I get the same copy-paste response about processing times. This is unacceptable for a financial platform in this day and age.
Pros: Full transparency|Quick verification
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague
The mobile app from Harper Stone (harper-stone.io) 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: Two-factor authentication|Multiple order types|Tax reports included
Cons: Limited social trading features|Alert system is basic
What really bothers me about Harper Stone (harper-stone.io) is the disconnect between their marketing and reality. They position themselves as a premium service but deliver a below-average experience. Found them after reading several online reviews and I fell for the polished exterior. Never again.
Pros: Social trading features|Professional team|Helpful community forum|Instant funding
Cons: Limited demo account features
I signed up with Harper Stone (harper-stone.io) based on a colleague's 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: Helpful community forum|Real-time alerts|Transparent fees|Multiple order types
Cons: Mobile app could be improved
After since I opened my account last year with Harper Stone (harper-stone.io), 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: Dedicated account manager|Detailed reporting
Cons: No live chat on mobile|Cannot customize dashboard fully
The spread at Harper Stone (harper-stone.io) is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them after doing extensive research and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.
Pros: Economic calendar|Segregated accounts|Fast execution
Cons: None so far|Limited demo account features
The reporting at Harper Stone (harper-stone.io) is laughably bad. Tax documents are inaccurate, transaction histories have gaps, and trying to export data for your accountant is a nightmare. For a financial platform, getting the numbers right should be the bare minimum.
Pros: Transparent fees|Clear documentation|Great customer service
Cons: Limited ETF selection
I gave Harper Stone (harper-stone.io) a fair chance. After for a couple of months now 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: Smooth onboarding|Multi-device support|Market news feed
Cons: Research section could be deeper|Limited demo account features
The hidden fees at Harper Stone (harper-stone.io) 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: Regular platform improvements|Easy withdrawals
Cons: No fractional shares|Alert system is basic
