Sentinel STO 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.
Their two-factor authentication was optional when I joined. I enabled it. Later I lost my phone and could not log in. Sentinel STO recovery process took 3 weeks and required notarized documents. By then I had missed important trades. Their security is your inconvenience.
Pros: Fast deposits|Portfolio tracking tools
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers|Limited cryptocurrency options
Do not use Sentinel STO for anything serious. I used them for a couple of months now 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: Risk management tools|API access|Low minimum deposit|Automated trading options
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources
Sentinel STO 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: Customizable dashboard|Personal attention
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers
I had high hopes for Sentinel STO after my brother mentioned them, but my experience has been disappointing. Customer support is slow, the platform has frequent issues, and their fee structure is not as transparent as advertised. I am actively looking for alternatives now.
Pros: Demo account available|Good mobile app
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources|Research section could be deeper
I experienced a security concern with my Sentinel STO 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: Reliable uptime|Multi-device support|Wide product range
Cons: Wait times can be long during peak hours
The mobile app from Sentinel STO is dangerous. I placed an order that showed as pending, so I placed another. Both executed and I was overexposed. When I complained they said it was user error. The app design is misleading.
Pros: Copy trading available|Economic calendar
Cons: Mobile app could be improved|No live chat on mobile
If you are reading this considering Sentinel STO - run. I wish I had read more negative reviews after a friend recommended them. I thought the positive ones were real. Maybe some are. My experience over since I retired last year has been so bad I feel obligated to warn others. Do not make my mistake.
Pros: Two-factor authentication|Demo account available|Regular platform improvements|Customizable dashboard
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague
After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that Sentinel STO is not authorized by any legitimate financial regulator. They are operating illegally. The website looks very professional but it's all a facade. Please check the regulatory warnings database before investing with ANY company.
Cons: Lost entire investment|Reported to authorities|Unresponsive
I found this company through a friend who recommended it. Before investing, I checked various regulatory databases and found that Sentinel STO 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
After spending since mid-2025 trying to make Sentinel STO 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: Quick verification|Comprehensive tools
Cons: No fractional shares
