ValatrixTrader 19 has been flagged by Financial Conduct 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.
ValatrixTrader 19 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: Great customer service|Personal attention|Good mobile app|Smooth onboarding
Cons: Nothing significant
The so-called education at ValatrixTrader 19 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 for the past year and a half thinking they would help me learn.
Pros: Instant funding|Dividend tracking
Cons: Live chat only during business hours
The only good thing about ValatrixTrader 19 is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them after comparing multiple platforms. They are regulated in a jurisdiction with weak consumer protection. When things went wrong I had nowhere to turn. Stick to well-regulated brokers.
Pros: Real-time alerts|API access
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods|Limited ETF selection
The hidden fees at ValatrixTrader 19 are the real scandal here. What they advertise and what they actually charge are two different things. By the time I realized how much I was paying in various fees and spreads, I had already lost a meaningful amount.
Pros: Professional team|Personal attention|Easy withdrawals|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days|Help articles are sometimes vague
The platform at ValatrixTrader 19 is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After since last summer of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: Smooth onboarding|Fast deposits|Wide product range
Cons: No fractional shares
Do not be fooled by the professional-looking website. Behind the scenes, ValatrixTrader 19 is disorganized and incompetent. I found them after reading several online reviews and I can only assume the positive reviews are either outdated or paid for because my experience was terrible.
Pros: Detailed reporting|Fast support response
Cons: Wait times can be long during peak hours|Would like more payment methods
Their two-factor authentication was optional when I joined. I enabled it. Later I lost my phone and could not log in. ValatrixTrader 19 recovery process took 3 weeks and required notarized documents. By then I had missed important trades. Their security is your inconvenience.
Pros: Dividend tracking|Portfolio tracking tools|Low minimum deposit|Good analytical tools
Cons: Would like more payment methods|Alert system is basic
I am in a dispute with ValatrixTrader 19 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: Transparent fees|Customizable dashboard|Tax reports included|Professional team
Cons: Alert system is basic|Currency conversion fee exists
For anyone considering ValatrixTrader 19, please be aware that this company has been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority. This does not necessarily mean they are a scam, but it does mean they may not be authorized to operate in certain jurisdictions. I strongly recommend checking the official regulator website before making any investment decisions.
Cons: Listed in IOSCO I-SCAN|May not be authorized in your jurisdiction
I lost a significant amount because ValatrixTrader 19 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.
Pros: Automated trading options|Risk management tools
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague|No fractional shares
