Opened my account with London Gates (london-gates.com) after a trusted YouTuber reviewed them and regretted it within the first month. The platform crashed during a critical moment, I lost potential gains, and support basically told me it was not their problem. Absolutely unacceptable behavior.

Cons: Email notifications too frequent|No crypto staking
The only good thing about London Gates (london-gates.com) is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them after hearing about them at a conference. 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: Transparent fees|Fast support response|Multiple order types|Fast deposits
Cons: Could offer more webinars|Slow to add new assets

Pros: Low minimum deposit|Automated trading options
Cons: Charting tools need more indicators
After for about ten months with London Gates (london-gates.com), 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: Transparent fees|Competitive fees
Cons: Limited demo account features|No fractional shares
London Gates (london-gates.com) has the worst mobile app I have ever used for investing. It crashes constantly, features that work on desktop are missing entirely, and the security implementation is questionable at best. How they released this app is beyond me.
Pros: Social trading features|Multi-device support
Cons: No crypto staking
The onboarding at London Gates (london-gates.com) was smooth which makes the subsequent experience even more frustrating. Once they have your money, the quality of service drops dramatically. Getting anyone to help you with an actual problem is nearly impossible.

Cons: Slow to add new assets|Search feature is basic
My withdrawal request from London Gates (london-gates.com) 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: Stable platform|Automated trading options|API access
Cons: Nothing significant|Desktop app not available on Linux
I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to London Gates (london-gates.com). They said they do not accept in-kind transfers for my asset type. I had to sell, withdraw, deposit, and rebuy - incurring taxes and spread costs. They did not tell me this before I signed up.
Pros: Clear documentation|Transparent fees|Smooth onboarding|API access
Cons: Could offer more webinars|Slow to add new assets
