very user friendly design . and very good place to trade because there are many assets to trade and spread is lower then almost everywhere . and they offer good leverage . everything is fine for me but i think it would be very better if they show the withdraw transaction id so we can track it on blockchain explorer and if they lower the withdraw fee

The platform looks quite modern and has a good variety of trading instruments. Stop-loss and trailing stop loss particularly are some of the standout features. Some improvement suggestions: improve the mobile UI, make a text based trading in wechat, websocket support in the API.

Good trading so far. Better mobile app needed.

I've like it ever since I've joined. Whaleclub has good fundamentals and user interface that is superior to what I've seen so far out there. My experience with customer support has been top notch and they have taken the time to explain some of the kinks that separate them from established Forex traders such as MT4, or my dollar go-to which is FXCM.Also, it is truly a shame to see traders who are losing money simply tag the site with low reviews. Although that is expected - most brokers in the forex world get shit every day from traders who simply, well, make bad bets and lose money. It's part of life, part of the game. Margin trading is a high risk endeavor. If you can't make money trading, find another hobby!

Customer Support:WhaleClub's customer support is extremely negligent. When something goes wrong, do not expect to find answers. They respond to about 1/3 of messages, and fail to answer questions that are asked several times in different ways, desperately trying to get an answer and understand the platform.
Dat Bonus Tho:
The bonus is poorly documented and misleading, at best. It is not simply a refund of 30% of your losses, as you might believe from reading their documentation. So far, after losses of around 100% of my original deposit, I have received about 1% refund. The customer support group cannot / will not explain the mechanisms behind the bonus.
Leverage:
This is also misleading, and they should do a better job of communicating your liquidation price when / before making a trade. Honestly, they should make you accept/agree to it explicitly when using the UI.

I was pleasantly surprised by the trading features which I thought were ahead of their time, but maybe it's because I've been in the Forex industry for so long and it has basically not evolved in 10 years (looking at you MT4). While MT4 DOES have EAs and other goodies, it's good to see some innovation happening by the yuppies in cryptocurrency, which is a first step into the stagnant world of FX technology, in my personal opinion. The Whaleclub trader works as expected. It has a good selection of assets (although it could use more) and FX spreads and premiums are in line with the industry. Customer support is generally responsive in my experience, which is a plus. I am looking forward to new feature additions in the near future. Cheers from Aussie!

I like it, been with WC for a while. Support has kind of "family friendly" approach which is nice. Good and long-running broker in the space.

It's good. Not bad at all for a FX trading site. Laughing out loud reading reviews where noobies are margin trading for the first time and don't know what FX swap are. :)

I'm updating my previous 2 star review to 1 star. After posting my review, I read some other reviews, did some research, and had a realization!People lose their money so quickly because Whaleclub charges "financing" at the top of every hour. EVERY hour. And here's a quote from their FAQ: "Financing applies on your full position size, including positions opened at 1x leverage." So you are charged financing charges even if you don't borrow money to get a higher leverage. Go to their homepage + /fees
This explains why some people said they put in a trade for several hours, and even made a profit, but still lost their money. It was taken away because of finance charges! And look at the following market chart, you'll see that BTC financing is 9%. That's 9% every hour, people, to trade BTC. Go to their homepage + /markets
I'm convinced. Whaleclub is a dangerous scam, with a beautiful beautiful design and attractive features. I was almost taken in. Thank goodness I didn't trade with them, and thank goodness I read some of the bad reviews here.
I personally have not had a bad experience with them. I have only used the "demo" account feature, and I never deposited real money. I personally cannot corroborate claims that Whaleclub took people's money and froze their accounts. But take a look at their legal agreement ... it says they can do it if they want to! Wow, that's crazy. Go to their homepage + /legal/user-agreement
Last thing: I didn't know until just now, reading the legal agreement, that residents of the United States can NOT use the platform. I had no idea.

I could easily give this 5 stars ... because this platform is fantastic on many many levels ... but I give it 2 stars mainly for one big reason: their "fees" are HUGE, and by that I mean their "spread" because they don't charge any fees and simply have big spreads.Their page detailing "execution cost comparison" is incorrect and misleading. The reason the math on the table is wrong is this: Whaleclub's spread is calculated against the value of 1 entire coin ... while every other exchange calculates their fee against what the customer is trading.
So Whaleclub's BTC/USD spread (aka fee) is $85, no matter HOW much you are trading. They say it's about 0.78%, which is 0.78% of the value of 1 BTC ... or 0.78% of ~$11,000.
For comparison, a BTC/USD fee on any other exchange might be 0.5%, but that's 0.5% of the value of what I want to trade. So if I trade ~$100, the fee is $0.50. But what about "spread" on other exchanges? Well, GDAX has $0.01 spreads for BTC. Most exchanges have spreads that are literally pennies large. And with limit orders, there's no slippage. On GDAX, a limit order means they don't even charge the 0.15% fee.
(And btw, placing a limit order on Whaleclub doesn't reduce the spread at all.)
This is a huge difference: $85.00 versus $0.01. I'll never trade real money on Whaleclub unless this is fixed.
To be fair, it IS true that one can save money in fees by trading on Whaleclub, but that only happens if one is trading in excess of the value of 1 entire coin on the exchange. So if you're placing trades for ~$10,000+ on the BTC/USD exchange, then Whaleclub is competitive. Or if you're placing ~$200 trades on the LTC exchange, then fees are more competitive.
Unfortunately, my account size is too small for that. Maybe Whaleclub is for high rollers only.
As I said, the platform is amazing. If I could, I would do all my trading with Whaleclub. I love the ability to short, to have leverage, and the interface is the best. But nice features don't mean anything if the economics don't add up for me.
