Opened my account with think markets after comparing multiple platforms and regretted it within the first month. The platform crashed during a critical moment, I lost potential gains, and support basically told me it was not their problem. Absolutely unacceptable behavior.
Pros: Risk management tools|Competitive fees|Good analytical tools|Easy to use platform
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated
I am in a dispute with think markets over a trade that was clearly erroneous. The price shown was wrong, I closed at a profit, and they reversed the trade and took the money back. They said it was a system error. So I lose and they keep? Unacceptable.
Pros: Multi-device support|Regular updates|Easy to use platform
Cons: Website design could be more modern
think markets changed their fee structure with one month notice. What was a flat fee became a percentage. For my account size it meant a huge increase. When I objected they said I could leave. So I am leaving and writing this review.
Pros: Full transparency|Multiple order types
Cons: Nothing significant
think markets locked my account without warning and demanded documents I had already submitted. for about three months later I still do not have access to my funds. Their compliance team does not respond to emails. I am considering legal action.
Pros: Low minimum deposit|Comprehensive tools|Stable platform
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods
If you are reading this considering think markets - run. I wish I had read more negative reviews while looking for alternatives to my previous provider. I thought the positive ones were real. Maybe some are. My experience over for over a year has been so bad I feel obligated to warn others. Do not make my mistake.
Pros: Easy withdrawals|Real-time alerts|Educational resources|Risk management tools
Cons: No fractional shares
After spending for roughly four months trying to make think markets 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: Real-time alerts|Automated trading options
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods|Website design could be more modern
I found this company through a friend who recommended it. Before investing, I checked various regulatory databases and found that think markets 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.
Pros: Website looks legitimate on the surface
Cons: Listed in warning databases|No transparency|Pressure to invest quickly
think markets 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: Fast support response|Copy trading available
Cons: Limited social trading features
Where do I even begin with think markets? since the beginning of the 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: Tax reports included|Smooth onboarding|Detailed reporting|Copy trading available
Cons: Could offer more webinars|Spreads widen during volatile periods
I signed up with think markets after my brother mentioned them and the first red flag was the aggressive account manager who would not stop calling. After depositing, the promised support vanished. Withdrawals are delayed with endless excuses. I have reported them to the regulator.
Pros: Good analytical tools|Customizable dashboard|Portfolio tracking tools|Low minimum deposit
Cons: Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
