The platform at Hinsley Ford is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After since last summer of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: Social trading features|Clean UI
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated
After spending for the past six months trying to make Hinsley Ford work for me, I have given up. The platform has too many limitations, the fees are not competitive, and the quality of their market data is questionable. There are much better options available.
Pros: Market news feed|Great customer service|Fast support response
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|Search feature is basic
Hinsley Ford locked my account without warning and demanded documents I had already submitted. for about ten months later I still do not have access to my funds. Their compliance team does not respond to emails. I am considering legal action.
Pros: Regular platform improvements|Instant funding|No hidden fees|Multi-device support
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed|Wait times can be long during peak hours
I had a dispute with Hinsley Ford 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: Multi-currency support|High security standards|Good mobile app|Wide product range
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers
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. Hinsley Ford said it was market conditions. Same news, another broker filled me properly. They are not honest.
Pros: Professional team|Clean UI
Cons: Minimum deposit could be lower
I found Hinsley Ford after comparing multiple platforms and the initial impression was positive. But since last summer later, I have encountered so many issues that I cannot recommend them. Trades failing, charts not loading, and support tickets going unanswered for days at a time.
Pros: Customizable dashboard|Responsive team|Reliable uptime|Smooth onboarding
Cons: Would like more payment methods|No live chat on mobile
I had high hopes for Hinsley Ford from a blog post comparing services, 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: Clear documentation|Competitive fees|Transparent fees|Personal attention
Cons: Mobile app could be improved
I referred a friend to Hinsley Ford after doing extensive research. We both deposited. The referral bonus never arrived. Support said we did not meet the terms. When we asked which terms they pointed to a clause that was added after we signed up. Shady.
Pros: API access|Intuitive for beginners|Excellent charting|Smooth onboarding
Cons: Search feature is basic|No crypto staking
The hidden fees at Hinsley Ford 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: Automated trading options|Great customer service|Full transparency
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers
I lost a significant amount because Hinsley Ford 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: Regular updates|Professional team|Excellent charting
Cons: Live chat only during business hours
