I referred a friend to Max Options after comparing multiple platforms. 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: Clean UI|No hidden fees|Competitive fees
Cons: Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
After spending for close to eighteen months trying to make Max Options 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: Stable platform|Tax reports included
Cons: Limited demo account features
I opened an account with Max Options for the past six months ago. The platform frequently logs you out, orders fail to execute at the stated price, and when you complain they blame your internet connection. I have screenshots proving otherwise.
Pros: Dedicated account manager|Risk management tools|Clean UI
Cons: Could offer more webinars
The platform itself is okay, but the customer service at Max Options is truly awful. I waited weeks for a response to a simple inquiry. When they did respond, it felt like a generic template that did not address my specific issue at all.
Pros: Wide product range|Tax reports included
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated
I have been trying to close my account with Max Options for weeks now and they keep giving me the runaround. First it was a form to fill out, then identity verification again, then a mandatory phone call that never gets scheduled. They make leaving impossible.
Pros: Stable platform|Market news feed|No hidden fees
Cons: Website design could be more modern
Max Options 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: API access|High security standards|Excellent charting
Cons: Minimum deposit could be lower
I experienced a security concern with my Max Options account and reported it immediately. Their response time was inexcusable for a financial platform. It took them four days to acknowledge my report and another week to actually address it.
Pros: Real-time alerts|Easy withdrawals|Market news feed|Social trading features
Cons: Inactivity fee applies after 12 months|Onboarding videos are outdated
The only good thing about Max Options 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: Multiple order types|Reliable uptime|Low minimum deposit|Excellent charting
Cons: Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
Where do I even begin with Max Options? for about eight months of broken promises, unanswered tickets, and a platform that feels like it was built in 2010. They spend more on marketing than on actually improving their service. Stay away from this company.
Pros: Automated trading options|Customizable dashboard|Stable platform
Cons: Nothing significant|None so far
Max Options locked my account without warning and demanded documents I had already submitted. since mid-2025 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|Clean UI|Clear documentation
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux|Minor UI glitches occasionally
