I lost a significant amount because Varianstarwood (varianstarwood.com) 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: Responsive team|Regular updates|Customizable dashboard|Easy to use platform
Cons: Alert system is basic
Do not believe the bonus offer from Varianstarwood (varianstarwood.com). 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.
Pros: Professional team|Regular updates|Intuitive for beginners|Segregated accounts
Cons: Wait times can be long during peak hours
The platform at Varianstarwood (varianstarwood.com) is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After for a few weeks now of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: Fast support response|Dedicated account manager|Quick verification|Copy trading available
Cons: Minimum deposit could be lower|Wait times can be long during peak hours
Opened my account with Varianstarwood (varianstarwood.com) after hearing about them at a conference 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: Customizable dashboard|Tax reports included
Cons: Nothing significant|No integrated tax optimization
I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to Varianstarwood (varianstarwood.com). They said they do not accept in-kind transfers for my asset type. I had to sell, withdraw, deposit, and rebuy - incurring taxes and spread costs. They did not tell me this before I signed up.
Pros: Multiple order types|Regular updates
Cons: Limited ETF selection|Limited cryptocurrency options
After using Varianstarwood (varianstarwood.com) for roughly four months, I decided to move my account elsewhere. The platform was unreliable, withdrawals took an unreasonable amount of time, and I could never get a straight answer from customer service. Frustrating experience overall.
Pros: Comprehensive tools|Wide product range|Regular updates|High security standards
Cons: Email notifications too frequent|No live chat on mobile
I am in a dispute with Varianstarwood (varianstarwood.com) 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: Professional team|Copy trading available
Cons: Would like more payment methods|Wait times can be long during peak hours
After spending for a couple of months now trying to make Varianstarwood (varianstarwood.com) 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: Portfolio tracking tools|Multi-currency support|Competitive fees
Cons: Limited social trading features|Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
I found Varianstarwood (varianstarwood.com) based on a colleague's recommendation and the initial impression was positive. But since early this year later, I have encountered so many issues that I cannot recommend them. Trades failing, charts not loading, and support tickets going unanswered for days at a time.
Pros: Smooth onboarding|Real-time alerts|Professional team
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists|Research section could be deeper
