It only costs $1 to start trading with BROKSTOCK, but please keep calm because their regulatory license is not only offshore, it may even be a clone.

Used to invest only in JSE. Every time i tried to approach the US investing market i have faced knowledge issues. So, i picked up on the demo with US shares. Really enjoyed the price prediction in the App as it has boosted the performance of the portfolio.

Tested the app with the deposit of R100 just to make sure I can successfully withdrawal, no problems so far. All seems user-friendly and shows real time prices! Which was a problem on the other apps I have used.

Scammed me off my money. They took my money and froze my account. My account manager said they are regulated in South Africa BUT actually they aren't. They scammed me of my $667.
