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.

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!

Agree 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.

I signed up 2 weeks ago I signed up 2 weeks ago, but having a problem connecting bank account with major institution. In addition, I had a problem with employment verification, and it took 45 minutes via phone to get help. That was resolved, but now I can't fund my account. I sent an email 2 days ago, but still waiting for response. That being said, I have not used the trading platform yet, but if I have a problem, I'm assured a very long wait time. Maybe the delay in funding will give me some time to research the competition a bit more.

So far i have had very few issues So far i have had very few issues . I have not tried to withdraw funds but every question i have asked has been answered right away. I dont agree with all their policies but they have been very honest and forthcoming with documentation. Site seems easy to use
