www.admiral-markets.com has been flagged by AMF (France) for "Unauthorised". Category: Produits_dérivés_sur_crypto-actifs This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm. Website domain: www.admiral-markets.com.
The reporting at www.admiral-markets.com is laughably bad. Tax documents are inaccurate, transaction histories have gaps, and trying to export data for your accountant is a nightmare. For a financial platform, getting the numbers right should be the bare minimum.
Pros: Personal attention|Regular platform improvements
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|Account statements could be more detailed
I opened an account with www.admiral-markets.com since I retired last year ago. The platform frequently logs you out, orders fail to execute at the stated price, and when you complain they blame your internet connection. I have screenshots proving otherwise.
Pros: Responsive team|Transparent fees|No hidden fees
Cons: No integrated tax optimization|Limited cryptocurrency options
The platform at www.admiral-markets.com is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After since the beginning of the year of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: API access|Market news feed|Customizable dashboard
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated|Spreads widen during volatile periods
I lost a significant amount because www.admiral-markets.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: Clear documentation|Demo account available
Cons: Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to www.admiral-markets.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: Competitive fees|Full transparency|Stable platform|Responsive team
Cons: Mobile app could be improved|Charting tools need more indicators
Do not believe the bonus offer from www.admiral-markets.com. The turnover requirement is designed so you can never withdraw. I learned the hard way. I deposited while looking for alternatives to my previous provider and the bonus terms were buried in pages of small print. My fault for not reading but their design is predatory.
Pros: Good analytical tools|Instant funding|Two-factor authentication|Market news feed
Cons: Charting tools need more indicators
The platform itself is okay, but the customer service at www.admiral-markets.com 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: Tax reports included|Clean UI|Copy trading available|Demo account available
Cons: No fractional shares
The spread at www.admiral-markets.com is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them after a family member had a good experience and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.
Pros: Segregated accounts|Personal attention|Wide product range|Fast execution
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully
I requested my data from www.admiral-markets.com 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: Two-factor authentication|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: No integrated tax optimization|Would like more payment methods
The only good thing about www.admiral-markets.com is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them after reading several online reviews. 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|Economic calendar|Automated trading options
Cons: No live chat on mobile|Alert system is basic
