Best Forex & Share Trading Platforms in Queensland Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Townsville and Cairns

Having been with SIV for 2 years now, we are still VERY HAPPY with their service and guidance. The webinars for us are as valuable as the tips for… Read more

shares to buy and sell. While not all suggestions reach the expected returns, overall our portfolio has grown well beyond our expectations.

Their webinars give more in depth details on which shares are expected to do well and why, however, they are ALWAYS very educational giving us ideas & strategies on what to look for in a business we are interested in.

For us that education gives us easy to understand strategies allowing us to make decisions that fit our personal goals. We have recently, without hesitation invested in SIV's new US stocks subscription, as we believe that SIV do their due diligence, and wouldn't be providing this additional service without being sure it is worth pursuing.

As part of investing in the US market, I needed to sell some of my ASX stocks. I took advantage, of the additional portfolio review that was part of my package. My goal was to identify stocks that may not have the same growth potential as the US market. Roger (who also regularly does the Webinar) went through my portfolio with suggestions of which stocks I could consider selling and why. He patiently listened to MY rationale, and was happy to answer all my questions.

All in all my husband and I feel Shares in Value is a trust worthy company that cares about their clients. The key is to be patient and evaluate yourself their suggestions, taking into account your own personal goals.

I signed up expecting expert investment guidance but ended up losing my money following some recommendations while also paying subscription fees. … Read more

What disappointed me most was being pushed multiple times to upgrade to an expensive premium subscription despite not seeing results from the initial service. There were a lot of big promises about returns and future opportunities but I personally didn’t see those results eventuate which left me questioning the quality of the stock analysis. I wouldn’t recommend it based on my experience and would suggest doing thorough research before signing up.

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.

Highly recommended! It's cheap, super easy to use, and has a nice clean look on both phone and desktop. I've also found it to be an especially great gateway for getting into the US market.

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.

Difficulty in selecting where to buy a stock. No options to buy pre and post markets in US.

Learning something new and have Moomoo to help me. Thankyou.

Fast reliable platform, with super helpful support staff, who dont judge :) highly recommend for beginner investors

Daniel Yap was an absolute star providing excellent customer service after having had too many emails and phone calls with no result or desire to assist in finding a solution for my circumstances.

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

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.

Worst trading platform, you will loose all your money as CMC manupulates every trade. Your data does not update, exuberant holding costs, 10% charges… Read more

everytime you add money to your account. Spread in morning is outrageous 20-25points and they manipulate trades. As soon as you take a trade, they push the price against you as fast as they can so you can never get your money back. I am currently loosing $175,000. They do not reply to your emails. You are constantly on a watch. I give zero stars. Extremely bad experience of my life. I am trapped in this trade in a sell USD/AUD and i know as soon as i get out of this, CMC will sell because they pushing it up until i get out. It is sickening...

When I first got involved with CMCStrategies, I had a bad habit of spending hours looking at charts and market news without really knowing what I was… Read more

looking for. I was taking in a lot of information but not actually learning from it. That started to change after working with David. What I liked was that he never tried to overload me with strategies or complicated explanations. Instead, he would ask simple questions that made me think differently about why I was entering a trade in the first place. A lot of my mistakes came from acting without a clear reason, and I didn’t even realize it at the time. The conversations we had helped me become more aware of my own decision-making and less focused on what everyone else was doing. I’m far more patient now, and I don’t feel the need to react to every move in the market. Trading feels much more structured than it did before, and I’ve gained a lot more confidence in the process. Looking back, the biggest improvement hasn’t been in my trades, it’s been in the way I think about them.

I cannot get my money from them. Disgusting!!!! I have done everything they have asked for but they are STALLING MY PAYOUT FOR OVER 2 MONTHS ALREADY!!! I am sick and tired of this... will be reporting to police.

I believe that there are individuals who have lost their crypto one way or the other. I strongly advise that you don't seek help recovering it online… Read more

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 personally have used recoveryhacker101 when I had to recover my bitcoin stolen by scammers. You can contact this legit recovery firm by email (recoveryhacker101@gmailcom).

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.

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 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

Terrible to deal with. Still using paper forms in 2026.

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.

IG have failed to take accountability for, nor rectify, multiple defects reported with their app. They have failed to offer adequate compensation for… Read more

losses arising from these defects, and attempted to silence regulatory reporting. All these issues indicate they are acting unconscionably and may be a scam operator. While the parent company might be respected due to longevity, it may have been compromised via a hostile takeover or rogue developers.

Most concerning is an inexplicable algorthym that surruptitiously steals funds from your available balance by subtly increasing the margin used by a trade, even in scenarios where IG's own staff repeatedly confirmed it should not be occurring and was definitely a defect. In addition to stealing money from your fund, this margin encroachment also increases the risk of all open positions by reducing balance available to cover movement in positions - above and beyond the documented costs including the profit/loss of the position.

As the algorythm has no defined nor documented cause (IG's legal team fabricated a reason for it after their own staff confirmed it was a defect in breach of the expected behaviour of their products, but further testing by ruling out their supposed cause again surfaced the same incidents of margin-encroachment), it can't be predicted or managed when forecasting movement and risk of open positions. It amplifies risk without any calculable quotient, manipulating trader calculations of safe position sizes, scaling up to potentially bring margin calls in more quickly than they would logically occur at, and potentially providing IG with a gear they can pull to orchestrate stop-hunting.

Worse than this already very concerning issue, was the response of IG's legal team when I forced it to be escalated to an effective level of management.

This is only one of many issues I have uncovered with IG.

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.

What an absolute joke of a company! Made a $2000 withdrawal that went missing as they sent to the wrong bank and now they refuse to do anything about it. Stay away from these scammers!
