Best Forex & Share Trading Platforms in New South Wales Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong

I answered an advert that requested an email and telephone number. A female representative rang me from SIV. She read from a script, and I was giver… Read more

a high powered presentation, and strongly pressured to sign up for around $3,000 for 3 years. Because I failed to agree to sign , I was transferred to another representative, who was even more skilled and persuasive, but I still refused & declined to join. About 3 months later i was sent emails recommending stocks, and rung once again. I believe the stocks they recommended are well researched , but the high pressure sales tactics put me off. My review basically is good research, good timing, buy very high pressure sales people.

Good customer user experience and what I wanted is there

Lost far more money then I would of if I had thrown a dart at a list of shares. felt like it was a bit of a scam.

Very good and intuitive website. No complaint and no intention to change platform. Satisfies all my needs. Very happy with service. Provides very good technical analysis sessions for free.

About 10 years ago i signed up for a mailing list for a Kosec Report (which i unsubscribed from after a month). Since that day about every 3 months… Read more

they call despite asking numerous to take me off the call list. It's genuine harassment . Any business that harassess people this much obviously doesn't have the record to attract customers so they have to resort to relentless harassment and high pressure sales tactics to make money. Avoid this business like the plague as they are the lowest of the low.

Excellent stock analysis software with numerous sorting functions to enable one to review comparative business performance metrics that matter to you - supported by outstanding knowledge experts.

Was advised to use this app by a pretty ordinary investment adviser. The app tends to only magnify the lack of calibre in the adviser. Simple is an… Read more

absolute understatement. It’s like someone thought the whole thing up in between playing bingo and an episode of Home & Away. Intuitive - no! User friendly - no! Transparent on trades and activity - no! Find the info you want - good luck! Support page - umm! Helpline - help yourself. Are the prices accurate and live - well they are fine if you don’t mind missing margins or are happy to use another app or the relevant updates to get live pricing. It’s everything you want if you enjoy a couple of clunky screens to cover every aspect of your large, dynamic and valuable stock portfolio. But you do get Qantas Frequent Flyer points and that makes up for everything you’re missing of course; so with $2 trades a great great grandchild should be able to take a commuter flight around 2047. Try something that ‘Moos’. I have. And I don’t write reviews unless I mean them.

Be aware!!!! Moomoo will hold you hostage and charge an outrageous amount if you want to transfer your shares out of their platform. Also, their… Read more

support is THE WORST I’ve ever seen in the market and the staff can barely speak English. Stay away from Moomoo!!!!

Much appreciated. Life changing experience. Open and honest with me.

I agree with other reviewers Your frustration is understandable. Based on public reviews and investor discussions, you are definitely not the only… Read more

person complaining about Sharesight customer support.

There are repeated complaints about: • No phone support • Slow or generic email replies • Chat agents not understanding technical portfolio/accounting issues • Support staff giving scripted answers rather than solving the actual problem • Difficulties escalating complex cases

Those themes appear across: • Trustpilot reviews • ProductReview Australia reviews • Reddit discussions in Australian investing forums

What users often describe is more likely: • heavily scripted support, • junior frontline staff, • outsourced or partially outsourced support processes, • and limited authority/escalation for technical problems.

Several reviewers specifically describe agents replying with canned responses that did not address the actual issue. 

One reviewer wrote:

“Customer service is judged by how brief it is.” 

Another said:

“I would love to be able to talk to a real person.” 

So your experience is consistent with a broader pattern

I notified Bell Direct in December 2025 that neither my portfolio nor watch lists were displayed when I logged in. After an unacceptable delay I was… Read more

informed that extensions, vpns, or security software may interfere with the permissions. Thankfully this was an occasional, but catastrophic "hiccup". Since then, I have modified my security software but the problem persists. Increasingly, I have been unable to view either my portfolio or my watchlists, so information needed for selling or buying is not available. Every time I notify Bell Direct I am provided with concern and platitudes. I have been unable to access either portfolio or watchlists since Thursday last week. Today, I learn that account holders with an "international account" all seem to have this problem. Draw your own conclusions.

Company is a scam. Needs investigating, confirmed fraud. Accept your funds and then block you from transacting any further until you provide… Read more

ridiculous levels of KYC. They sent threatening emails to stop me from going after them and my money but i refused, and i am glad i did not regret going after them and my money.

Designed for the needs of modern traders – This broker is well-regulated and its Custom platform is its main advantage,. It is a customizable, and advanced trading app.

Overpromise and underdeliver by [Name Removed] from Stock Specialist – [Name Removed] has contacted me several times to sell this Active Service package even I told him I already have normal membership for 5 years. This… Read more

sales consultant or sales director of Stock Specialist has overpromised his Active Service package including quarterly review of porfolio, 5-10 monthly trading opportunities recommended by phone or emails, utilizing their portpolio construction services. None of these are happening. I have contacted him for the refund as I did not receive the services after a couple of months. He then advised me the trading opportunities are delivered directly to the platform dash board. This is exactly the same platform I can see as a normal member. I don't need to pay another $1500 to see the same thing. I have emailed him for the refund a few times but like most of other customers making complain - get nothing back.

If the company director cannot keep his promise and provides mis-leading information, your team, services and products are also not trustworthy. I always believe in Karma. Whatever you took from me in an un-ethical way, you will lose somewhere more.

You would have to be masochistic to use this share platform. Takes days/weeks to simply change your address. Everything is slow. You can do a lot better.

Brighton Wealth accidentally fixed one of my worst habits: revenge trading. Before this, every bad trade turned into me trying to “win it back”… Read more

immediately, which usually made things worse. Nathan was actually the first person to tell me that stepping away from the screen is sometimes the smartest move you can make. At first I laughed it off, but he was right. Now I do something crazy… I close the app and go eat. The platform feels calm compared to others I’ve used, and that weirdly helped me think more clearly. I’m still learning, still messing up sometimes, but at least now my decisions feel thought out instead of emotional.

I judge trading platforms by one thing now: do I leave the computer annoyed or not. That’s honestly become my system after trying too many places… Read more

that felt like a full-time headache. With this broker, I noticed something funny. I started making coffee before opening trades instead of stress-scrolling charts at 2am like a maniac. Sounds st^pid, but that alone says a lot. Simon once told me, “You don’t need to trade every interesting candle you see,” and weirdly, that sentence stuck in my head more than any strategy video I’ve watched. Since then, I’ve been calmer, trading less, and somehow doing better. Didn’t expect that to happen.

Unfortunately this is the place to come to leave reviews when you get no help from their customer service hoping someone will reach out. Have been… Read more

simply trying to change a funding account across to new bank for over a week now. Supplied all the paperwork and there was a lot to change the bank account to PAY them.... and now they are asking for same things again from me when it was all sorted from the last useless conversation with their email 'support'. So frustrating. I dont have time for this. I just want to change the bank account details. Next step will be to close down the account but I can only imagine how much harder that will be.

because you are likely going to meet a scammer who will steal more of your funds in an attempt to help you recover your lost crypto.

I don’t usually stick with one platform for too long, but Kingsley Wealth kind of surprised me. It’s not trying to be flashy or over the top, and I… Read more

actually like that. Everything feels pretty straightforward, which makes it easier to just focus on trading instead of figuring things out all the time. I’ve had a few ups and downs, but that’s normal. What matters is I don’t feel lost here like I did before. It’s just simple, works well, and doesn’t make things harder than they need to be.

I was able to withdraw – I was experiencing hard time to withdrawal and they keep asking for more deposit but thanks to N e t t r a c e p (at) g m a i l c 0 m team for ensuring all the outstanding withdrawal possible

They called everyday with threats. They refused to refund any of my deposits- thousands of dollars. I don’t know how they are getting 5 stars review… Read more

on this platform! That’s another red flag. i am in the process of reporting them to (support-station . com) like my relatives did to resolve their cases.

I have to say this is the worst Superannuation fund i've had to deal with to get things change!!!!!!!!

I continue to use it and I'm very happy with it. I earn my money, I have them available, it is all going great.

candlesticks would overlap each other and you couldn't see whether it was bullish or bearish, that caused me to lose over $1000. While they agreed that it was a system error, they didn't refund any of my money. Stay away from them, they have very poor customer service.

They are not trustworthy, my experience with them was poor and i would advise any newbie in investment to avoid them at all cost. It was all good… Read more

until it was time for my withdrawal, i got to realize the hard way that this people don't do pay out they only take your money. So i decided to stop and report them to (support-station. com) the only legal team that was able to resolve my case and get my money out. Just visit the website and see what i'm talking about.

Be extremely careful giving Motley Fool Australia your credit card details. They use classic "dark pattern" tactics to trap you into auto-renewals. … Read more

I decided I didn't want to renew my subscription, so I logged into my account to cancel. I spent over 15 minutes clicking through every single bloody menu and account setting looking for a simple "Cancel Membership" button. It doesn't exist. They make it incredibly easy to sign up online with a few clicks, but deliberately remove any online cancellation option, forcing you to email or call them to beg to be let go.

This is a highly unethical business practice designed purely to create friction so people give up and get charged again.

I had to resort to sending a formal legal demand citing Australian Consumer Law and ACCC guidelines on misleading conduct just to force them to stop my auto-renewal. I have also paid for my current term upfront, which is valid until June 23, 2026. I have had to explicitly warn them in writing not to illegally cut off my access early just because I refused their auto-renewal trap.

If a digital financial company cannot provide a transparent digital exit button in 2026, they do not deserve your business. Completely dodgy and unethical.

Contradictions in share valuations 84% OVER-valued vs 82% UNDER-valued – *** This issue has been resolved - at least for the moment *** ======================================= Very informative stock market reporting… Read more

system, however... They send me a regular email that says "DRO is 83.9% OVERVALUED"; the link in their email shows a rather different story! ... * Trading at 82.3% below our estimate of its fair value. * Earnings are forecast to grow 52.62% per year. * Earnings grew by 612.7% over the past year. I sent them a query some weeks ago but got no response. Some might think that an anomaly like this, lowers the trustworthiness of everything they report.

Watching their video lessons was a real pleasure and I learned a lot about various things.
