Trends Financial Group has been flagged by Ontario Securities Commission for "Unregistered/Unlicensed entity offering financial products or services". Trends Financial Group found at https://trendsfingroup.com/ and https://thetrendscentre.com is not registered in Ontario to engage in the business of trading in securities. This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
The platform itself is okay, but the customer service at Trends Financial Group 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.
Pros: Quick verification|API access
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods
I requested my data from Trends Financial Group under GDPR. They sent a partial export that was missing months of transactions. When I asked for the rest they said it was a technical issue. Still waiting. They do not take data rights seriously.
Pros: Comprehensive tools|Personal attention|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|Help articles are sometimes vague
I want to warn everyone about Trends Financial Group. They have been flagged by Ontario Securities Commission as an unauthorized entity. I wish I had checked before investing. They use high-pressure sales tactics and fake testimonials. Once you send money, getting it back is nearly impossible.
Cons: Blocked my account|No legitimate license|Fake returns
I was about to invest with Trends Financial Group but decided to check their regulatory status first. They claim to be regulated but I could not find them on any official register. Ontario Securities Commission has actually issued a warning about this firm. Thank goodness I checked before sending any money.
Cons: Listed in warning databases|No transparency|Pressure to invest quickly
I am in a dispute with Trends Financial Group 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: Customizable dashboard|Copy trading available
Cons: Limited demo account features|Wish they had more educational resources
