Highmont Group (highmont-group.com)

Do not be fooled by the professional-looking website. Behind the scenes, Highmont Group (highmont-group.com) is disorganized and incompetent. I found them after comparing multiple platforms and I can only assume the positive reviews are either outdated or paid for because my experience was terrible.

I was contacted by Highmont Group (highmont-group.com) through social media. They promised guaranteed returns of 20-30% monthly. Being naive, I invested. The "account manager" pressured me to invest more and more. When I finally tried to take profit, my account was frozen and they stopped responding. Classic Ponzi/advance fee fraud.

My card was charged twice by Highmont Group (highmont-group.com) on the same day. I had to dispute it with my bank. Highmont Group (highmont-group.com) then froze my account and said I had a negative balance because of the chargeback. They created the problem and then punished me for it.

Their execution during news is terrible. I had limit orders in place. When the news hit, my orders were not filled at the limit price - they were filled much worse. Highmont Group (highmont-group.com) said it was market conditions. Same news, another broker filled me properly. They are not honest.

The reporting at Highmont Group (highmont-group.com) 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.

I am in a dispute with Highmont Group (highmont-group.com) over a trade that was clearly erroneous. The price shown was wrong, I closed at a profit, and they reversed the trade and took the money back. They said it was a system error. So I lose and they keep? Unacceptable.

I lost a significant amount because Highmont Group (highmont-group.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.

Several red flags with Highmont Group (highmont-group.com): (1) They promise unrealistically high returns, (2) They're not registered with Australian Securities and Investments 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.

I trusted Highmont Group (highmont-group.com) with a significant portion of my savings and I deeply regret that decision. Not because of market losses, but because of how poorly the platform performed and how dismissively the support team treated my concerns.

Highmont Group (highmont-group.com) locked my account without warning and demanded documents I had already submitted. for the past year and a half later I still do not have access to my funds. Their compliance team does not respond to emails. I am considering legal action.
