This is not a real trading firm... If I could give zero stars I would. Firstrade locked my account and I have been trying for weeks to transfer to another brokerage due to their poor service. The transfer keeps being rejected and they can't tell me why. I have spent numerous hours on the phone to no avail. Eventually I got my other brokerage firm to help me out with the transfer. AVOID FIRSTRADE LIKE THE PLAGUE. THESE PEOPLE ARE UNPROFESSIONAL AND CLUELESS. You'd swear that it is a Mom and Pop business that they're running.

Don't trust this company My funds are being locked for the whole day since pre-market hour as this company claims they are encountering issue to display the actual account value of some customers correctly. But the fact is the money in my account has currently disappeared and I have been unable to invest anything the whole day! I doubt where this company has taken their customers' funds to... No action is done so far and no response from their CS. Traders shouldn't use this company anymore. Imagine you can't sell or buy when you need / want to!

Avoid! Their customer service sucks Don’t expect any customer service. No one bothers to provide any assistance. Representatives decided what/who to respond. They don’t reply any emails weeks after they were sent. Avoid funding the account if you already have signed up or you risk freezing your assets for 2 weeks before they can be transferred to another broker. Unprofessional!

Support is useless Support is useless. Service is fine as long as you have no problems. When you have a problem basically you get a response along the lines of Nothing we can do about it. Thank you for choosing Firstrade as your online broker. Well I'm moving my trades to another online broker.

This is the worst place you can park… This is the worst place you can park your money. The company is a corrupt scam. They take your money with pleasure, but when you ask to withdraw money....OMG. It took me two weeks and a huge favor from my local bank, with which I have a 20 year relationship to get my money out of this hell-hole. Do not use this company. You will regret it.
