Smart Signals has been flagged by Financial Services Authority 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.
Smart Signals 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: Responsive team|Great customer service|Reliable uptime|Smooth onboarding
Cons: Charting tools need more indicators|No dark mode on mobile
I gave Smart Signals a fair chance. After for just over a year of usage, I can say with confidence that there are far better options available. The interface is clunky, the fees are higher than competitors, and the customer support team seems overwhelmed or understaffed.
Pros: Regular platform improvements|Economic calendar|Reliable uptime
Cons: Limited ETF selection
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.
Pros: Information is publicly available for verification
Cons: Appears in regulatory warnings database|Uncertain regulatory status
I invested $25,000 with Smart Signals 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 Financial Services Authority.
Pros: Professional looking website
Cons: Lost entire investment|Reported to authorities|Unresponsive
The so-called education at Smart Signals 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 since last summer thinking they would help me learn.
Pros: Clean UI|Multiple order types|Clear documentation
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources
I trusted Smart Signals with a significant portion of my savings and I deeply regret that decision. Not because of market losses, but because of how poorly the platform performed and how dismissively the support team treated my concerns.
Pros: Responsive team|Risk management tools|Stable platform|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists
After seeing ads for Smart Signals online, I investigated. The company is listed in the IOSCO I-SCAN warnings database and has been flagged by Financial Services Authority. Their website looks professional but that means nothing - many scam operations invest heavily in appearance. Always check the regulatory warnings before investing.
Pros: Website looks legitimate on the surface
Cons: Not registered with regulators|Unrealistic promises
I joined Smart Signals when my bank disappointed me and I searched for alternatives 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: Automated trading options|Copy trading available|Transparent fees|Tax reports included
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|Nothing significant
The mobile app from Smart Signals 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: Fast deposits|Stable platform|Competitive fees
Cons: No live chat on mobile
