My withdrawal from TBT Advisory Services 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 eight months of being strung along.
Pros: Great customer service|Multiple order types|API access|Educational resources
Cons: Minor UI glitches occasionally|Limited cryptocurrency options
After since I retired last year with TBT Advisory Services I requested to close my account and withdraw. They said I had to complete a 30-day cooling-off period. Then they said there was a minimum holding period for my last deposit. They make it as hard as possible to leave.
Pros: No hidden fees|Transparent fees
Cons: Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
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. TBT Advisory Services said it was market conditions. Same news, another broker filled me properly. They are not honest.
Pros: Two-factor authentication|Easy to use platform|Professional team|Clear documentation
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated|Alert system is basic
TBT Advisory Services had an outage that lasted several hours during a major market event. Not only did they fail to prevent it, but they also failed to communicate what was happening. We were left in the dark while our investments were at risk.
Pros: Instant funding|Fast deposits|Detailed reporting|Multi-device support
Cons: None so far|Limited cryptocurrency options
Their two-factor authentication was optional when I joined. I enabled it. Later I lost my phone and could not log in. TBT Advisory Services recovery process took 3 weeks and required notarized documents. By then I had missed important trades. Their security is your inconvenience.
Pros: Tax reports included|Dedicated account manager
Cons: Minor UI glitches occasionally|Onboarding videos are outdated
TBT Advisory Services seems more interested in acquiring new customers than taking care of existing ones. The marketing is aggressive but the product is mediocre. Once you are past the honeymoon period, the cracks in their service become very apparent.
Pros: Multi-device support|Quick verification
Cons: Limited ETF selection|Could offer more webinars
Do not be fooled by the professional-looking website. Behind the scenes, TBT Advisory Services is disorganized and incompetent. I found them when my bank disappointed me and I searched for alternatives and I can only assume the positive reviews are either outdated or paid for because my experience was terrible.
Pros: Good mobile app|Two-factor authentication
Cons: Nothing significant|Onboarding videos are outdated
Do not believe the bonus offer from TBT Advisory Services. The turnover requirement is designed so you can never withdraw. I learned the hard way. I deposited after hearing about them at a conference and the bonus terms were buried in pages of small print. My fault for not reading but their design is predatory.
Pros: Comprehensive tools|Customizable dashboard|Stable platform|Multiple order types
Cons: No dark mode on mobile|Nothing significant
