My experience with Investous was terrible. Their brokers were just trying to "churn" your account, and provide terrible guidance - many times contrary to my own instincts. In fact, after an initial winning streak, their advice wiped out my account of over USD10K. As your advisor, they have you in the "palm of their hands." It's difficult to voice an opinion that is contrary to theirs since they are supposed to be the "experts"! (Yes they are experts at taking your money!) Then they prey on your psyche and hopes by saying that "we can make it back" - - I tried again and they wiped my account out again. Their advice is not timely and is either too early or too late. They accept no responsibility for the guidance they insist on providing. Also, watch out for their SWAP charges, which are not clearly explained - but It's like a Margin Call, and will contribute to killing your account. They entice you by stating that they will "upgrade your account" - what a joke! You cannot call them directly; you cannot even find the location of their office allegedly in Cyprus. CFD trading is difficult enough, but you can't rely on these charlatans to protect you. They are heartless people and their operation IS a complete SCAM. If you want to be a day trader, find a reputable firm to work with. BEWARE, THEY KNOW HOW TO FLEECE YOU OF YOUR MONEY!
