GBHinky, Avoid. Provided customer background, identity check, more than enough financial assets, lots of experience. Financial economist profession. Have never been denied brokerage in half century of investing. Was denied opening account, in e-mail that also wanted to know if I were related to named powerful public officials. No denial reason given even on written request. Something very wrong here, stay away from.

GBMy account is missing money this… My account is missing money this morning. They claimed having technical issues, I want to wait till tomorrow to see if they fix the problem. Company of this kind cannot be trusted.

HKAgree with previous posts Agree with previous posts. You can hardly withdraw your funds from there. They ask you many questions and many blockings when you tried to withdraw your funds. It takes forever and especially if you have different time zone. Think twice.

GBMissing funds when withdrawal I have been using firstrade for 3 years and I have to close account due to compliance reason of my new job. I wired out all my fund and some of it is missing. My bank have no fees charged for remittance and firstrade denied any responsibility from their side. I'm now missing some of my funds. Never going back to Firstrade.

GBRequested documentation sent, STILL not enough! I send all the requested documentation, send the documentation again, and they won't let me withdraw my funds. I moved into a new home, provided the documentation as requested, and they deny my address change. I send more documentation, speak to the same customer rep twice, Mr. C, regarding the matter and was told the docs were not enough. SEC, here I come!
