Pinnacles FX (peaks-view.com) has been flagged by ASIC (Australia) for "Unlicensed". Addresses: OATLEY New South Wales 2223 This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm. Website domain: peaks-view.com.
The platform at Pinnacles FX (peaks-view.com) is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After since I opened my account last year of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: Dividend tracking|Personal attention|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources
The platform itself is okay, but the customer service at Pinnacles FX (peaks-view.com) 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: Competitive fees|Good mobile app|Copy trading available|Dividend tracking
Cons: Limited ETF selection
Their two-factor authentication was optional when I joined. I enabled it. Later I lost my phone and could not log in. Pinnacles FX (peaks-view.com) recovery process took 3 weeks and required notarized documents. By then I had missed important trades. Their security is your inconvenience.
Pros: Smooth onboarding|Dividend tracking
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed|No live chat on mobile
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. Pinnacles FX (peaks-view.com) said it was market conditions. Same news, another broker filled me properly. They are not honest.
Pros: Detailed reporting|No hidden fees
Cons: Would like more payment methods
Pinnacles FX (peaks-view.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: Tax reports included|Reliable uptime|Excellent charting|Market news feed
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists|No live chat on mobile
The reporting at Pinnacles FX (peaks-view.com) is laughably bad. Tax documents are inaccurate, transaction histories have gaps, and trying to export data for your accountant is a nightmare. For a financial platform, getting the numbers right should be the bare minimum.
Pros: Real-time alerts|Dividend tracking|Comprehensive tools
Cons: Charting tools need more indicators|Limited ETF selection
If you are reading this considering Pinnacles FX (peaks-view.com) - run. I wish I had read more negative reviews through my accountant's suggestion. I thought the positive ones were real. Maybe some are. My experience over since mid-2025 has been so bad I feel obligated to warn others. Do not make my mistake.
Pros: Responsive team|API access
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague|Limited ETF selection
I lost a significant amount because Pinnacles FX (peaks-view.com) 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: Real-time alerts|Easy to use platform
Cons: Wait times can be long during peak hours
After for nearly two years with Pinnacles FX (peaks-view.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: Intuitive for beginners|Comprehensive tools
Cons: Charting tools need more indicators|Website design could be more modern
I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to Pinnacles FX (peaks-view.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: Two-factor authentication|Great customer service|Fast execution
Cons: Nothing significant|Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
