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.

My 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.

I really enjoy using Firstrade I really enjoy using Firstrade. Especially I didn’t encounter any app down time during trading in these days while I heard my friends did experience app down when using other broker’s platform to trade. What else I can say, I love Firstrade!

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.

Requested 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!
