Plus Capital Advisor has been flagged by British Columbia Securities Commission for "Unregistered/Unlicensed entity offering financial products or services". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
I found Plus Capital Advisor from a blog post comparing services and the initial impression was positive. But since I retired last year later, I have encountered so many issues that I cannot recommend them. Trades failing, charts not loading, and support tickets going unanswered for days at a time.
Pros: Wide product range|Risk management tools
Cons: No fractional shares
Do not use Plus Capital Advisor for anything serious. I used them for about ten months for small trades and it was okay. When I deposited a larger amount and traded more, my account was flagged, my withdrawals were delayed, and I was asked to explain my trading. They treat active traders like criminals.
Pros: Full transparency|Clear documentation
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux|Would like more payment methods
After spending for nearly two years trying to make Plus Capital Advisor 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: Helpful community forum|Transparent fees|No hidden fees
Cons: Minimum deposit could be lower|Account statements could be more detailed
My withdrawal from Plus Capital Advisor 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: Reliable uptime|Comprehensive tools|Excellent charting
Cons: Search feature is basic|Mobile app could be improved
I invested $3,500 with Plus Capital Advisor 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 British Columbia Securities Commission.
Pros: Professional looking website
Cons: Blocked my account|No legitimate license|Fake returns
This company appears on the IOSCO I-SCAN international warnings list. Over 68 financial regulators worldwide contribute to this database. While being listed doesn't automatically mean fraud, it's a significant red flag that potential investors should take seriously. Do your research thoroughly.
Cons: Appears in regulatory warnings database|Uncertain regulatory status
Their two-factor authentication was optional when I joined. I enabled it. Later I lost my phone and could not log in. Plus Capital Advisor recovery process took 3 weeks and required notarized documents. By then I had missed important trades. Their security is your inconvenience.
Pros: Full transparency|Demo account available|Segregated accounts
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers
I referred a friend to Plus Capital Advisor through a forum discussion. 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: Multiple order types|Stable platform|Regular platform improvements|Transparent fees
Cons: No integrated tax optimization|Minimum deposit could be lower
The onboarding at Plus Capital Advisor 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.
Pros: Competitive fees|Easy withdrawals
Cons: None so far
After for over a year with Plus Capital Advisor, 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: Responsive team|Automated trading options|Demo account available|Fast support response
Cons: Minimum deposit could be lower
