Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
I had a dispute with Horizon Gold 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: Good analytical tools|Customizable dashboard|Responsive team
Cons: Minor UI glitches occasionally
What really bothers me about Horizon Gold is the disconnect between their marketing and reality. They position themselves as a premium service but deliver a below-average experience. Found them after comparing multiple platforms and I fell for the polished exterior. Never again.
Pros: Social trading features|Detailed reporting|Regular platform improvements
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|No live chat on mobile
I invested $5,000 with Horizon Gold after seeing their professional-looking website. At first, everything seemed fine - they showed me impressive returns on my dashboard. But when I tried to withdraw, they kept making excuses. First it was "processing time," then "verification needed," then "you need to pay a tax fee first." I never got my money back. I have since reported them to Ontario Securities Commission.
Pros: Professional looking website
Cons: No regulatory oversight|Money disappeared|Fake testimonials
My withdrawal from Horizon Gold was rejected three times for vague reasons. Each time they asked for more documents. When I finally provided everything, they said my account was under review. for about five months of being strung along.
Pros: Clear documentation|Competitive fees|High security standards|Fast support response
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux
