Tradetips

I lost a significant amount because Tradetips did not execute my stop loss during a flash crash. They said the market was illiquid. Other brokers managed to execute. I have no proof they did not trade against me. Avoid.

After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that Tradetips is not authorized by any legitimate financial regulator. They are operating illegally. The website looks very professional but it's all a facade. Please check the regulatory warnings database before investing with ANY company.

Do not believe the bonus offer from Tradetips. The turnover requirement is designed so you can never withdraw. I learned the hard way. I deposited after comparing multiple platforms and the bonus terms were buried in pages of small print. My fault for not reading but their design is predatory.

Tradetips 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.

I gave Tradetips a fair chance. After for about ten months 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.

After seeing ads for Tradetips online, I investigated. The company is listed in the IOSCO I-SCAN warnings database and has been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority. Their website looks professional but that means nothing - many scam operations invest heavily in appearance. Always check the regulatory warnings before investing.

The platform itself is okay, but the customer service at Tradetips is truly awful. I waited weeks for a response to a simple inquiry. When they did respond, it felt like a generic template that did not address my specific issue at all.

The only good thing about Tradetips is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them through a podcast recommendation. They are regulated in a jurisdiction with weak consumer protection. When things went wrong I had nowhere to turn. Stick to well-regulated brokers.

After spending since I opened my account last year trying to make Tradetips 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.

The platform at Tradetips is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After for just over a year of dealing with this, I have had enough.
