SHTNE has been flagged by Financial Markets Authority for "Unregistered/Unlicensed entity offering financial products or services|Fraud ...". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
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. SHTNE said it was market conditions. Same news, another broker filled me properly. They are not honest.
Pros: Helpful community forum|Good mobile app|API access|Segregated accounts
Cons: No integrated tax optimization|No fractional shares
SHTNE 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: Social trading features|Clear documentation|Economic calendar
Cons: No crypto staking|Some tools only available on higher tiers
After seeing ads for SHTNE online, I investigated. The company is listed in the IOSCO I-SCAN warnings database and has been flagged by Financial Markets Authority. Their website looks professional but that means nothing - many scam operations invest heavily in appearance. Always check the regulatory warnings before investing.
Cons: Not registered with regulators|Unrealistic promises
I was contacted by SHTNE through social media. They promised guaranteed returns of 20-30% monthly. Being naive, I invested. The "account manager" pressured me to invest more and more. When I finally tried to take profit, my account was frozen and they stopped responding. Classic Ponzi/advance fee fraud.
Cons: Withdrawal fees demanded|Communication cut off|Not authorized
The so-called education at SHTNE is just marketing. Every webinar ends with a push to deposit more. The market analysis is generic and often wrong. If you want real education go elsewhere. I wasted for about three months thinking they would help me learn.
Pros: Risk management tools|Excellent charting
Cons: No crypto staking|Minimum deposit could be lower
