“The uncomfortable website and terrible operation of the mobile app. The company blows out accounts with fat gains. I’ll never work with Trading 212. I won’t advise anyone to trade here. Originally, everything was all right. Two week later, my trading turned into HELL. I’m not kidding. Because of ghastly work of the mobile app I lost $300.” Tosha, 13.08.2019.

“What a troublesome broker! Believe me. I was placing orders for 10 minutes, stop loss was triggered sometimes. In the period of higher volatility, I closed an order manually, though I received a message that my request was in the waiting mode. Then, they inform me of an error. This nuisance lasted 10-15 minutes. Isn’t it ridiculous?!” Ihor, 10.08.2019.

“You guys, don’t tell this rubbish. You say how you suffered and that you lost all your money. Folks, don’t listen to them! They are a good broker which offers nice trading conditions. Withdrawal is great! Certainly, one should get used to their trading platform.” Alex, 06.05.2019.

I am very cheerful with Trading212 because of reliable own trading platform. Platform is trouble-free to start with, I have no training and it was easy to start trading live. They also provide fast execution trading system and the customer support is fantastic.

I've satisfied with Trading212's web-based platform. Also, I've found a solid execution and tight spreads. As I can trade user-friendly environment with a lot of high tech tradings tools. So I got a better result in the market and till now I've gained almost $430 and able to withdrawal all of my profit through the Skrill account. Really I am pleased with Trading212.

I am currently having a problem in withdrawing my profits from Trading 212. I am supposed to receive $100 from my account but it has been two weeks since the request and it is still not being transferred. I also have no idea if they are processing it at all because they are not responding.

Their bad habit is frequent bugs when I want to take profit. Their network often goes down, and hinders my trading, even messes up the trading plan I have designed. They just say me to keep patience, their finance department is checking. And they will contact me soon. I have provided copy of my bank that funds. My stop loss price does not hit and lost my money. When I complained they said someone they could do nothing about it! Very risky. are returned to remitter. However, it’s now more than 10 months and they are still asking to wait. Be careful this broker.
