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.
Sentinel STO advertises low fees but once you dig into the fine print, there are numerous charges that add up quickly. Inactivity fees, withdrawal fees, currency conversion fees - it all eats into your returns. I wish I had read the terms more carefully.
Pros: Professional team|Good analytical tools
Cons: Slow to add new assets
I joined Sentinel STO after attending a webinar they hosted and from the start, things felt off. The signup process collected far more personal information than necessary, the verification took unreasonably long, and when I finally got access, the platform was nothing like what was advertised.
Pros: Wide product range|Regular updates
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers|Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
The spread at Sentinel STO is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them after a friend recommended them and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.
Pros: Regular updates|Multi-currency support
Cons: Minor UI glitches occasionally
Sentinel STO offers copy trading. I copied a top trader. The copy trades often executed at worse prices than the original. When I asked why they said it was due to latency and liquidity. So the feature is broken or they are skimming. Either way I stopped using it.
Pros: Quick verification|Two-factor authentication|Segregated accounts
Cons: Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
Where do I even begin with Sentinel STO? for over a year 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: Social trading features|Segregated accounts|Detailed reporting
Cons: No fractional shares
