Link Traders has been flagged by Financial Services and Markets Authority for "Fraud and Other Types of Misconduct". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
I lost a significant amount because Link Traders 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: Two-factor authentication|Reliable uptime
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|Research section could be deeper
I am in a dispute with Link Traders 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.
Pros: Stable platform|Tax reports included
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods
I gave Link Traders a fair chance. After for about ten months 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: Customizable dashboard|Professional team
Cons: Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days|Mobile app could be improved
The only good thing about Link Traders is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them through a forum discussion. They are regulated in a jurisdiction with weak consumer protection. When things went wrong I had nowhere to turn. Stick to well-regulated brokers.
Pros: Professional team|Excellent charting|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: Slow to add new assets|Charting tools need more indicators
I found this company through a friend who recommended it. Before investing, I checked various regulatory databases and found that Link Traders has been flagged as an unauthorized entity. I informed my friend immediately. Please always verify with official sources - a quick search could save you thousands.
Cons: Not registered with regulators|Unrealistic promises
Link Traders had an outage that lasted several hours during a major market event. Not only did they fail to prevent it, but they also failed to communicate what was happening. We were left in the dark while our investments were at risk.
Pros: Competitive fees|Great customer service|Full transparency
Cons: Live chat only during business hours
I was contacted by Link Traders 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.
Pros: Initially responsive customer service
Cons: Cannot withdraw funds|Not regulated|Pressure tactics
