Definitely a scam. We invested money 3 months ago, started making decent profits, tried to take money out and then our broker “Michael Kelly” turned weird on us saying we were scamming him. We ended... See more

Here is my review after losing a ton of…
Here is my review after losing a ton of money, probably a year's worth of salary for an average Aussie. I thought to share these observations as a review for anyone looking to work with this SCAM broker.
They are not regulated in Australia, so you are at high risk and can't register any complaints should they not follow what they offer.
Their registered office on the website is at Regus, which is a virtual office, Regus has branches globally including in Australia. You can Google it and find out for yourself. Anyone can rent a Regus office with no trace to their actual location.
Their analysis is from Investing dot com website, and anyone with a bit of knowledge can read it on the website for free.
None of the employees and directors have a social footprint; they use stage names to hide their identity. This itself is a big sign of a scammer, confirmed by one of the account managers.
Starlight commission and spread are way too high compared to other brokers in the market. For example, you get a spread of 0.6 - 1.5 on gold in any regulated broker, whereas they have 4-5 spreads, and their reasoning is high leverage. This itself drain your initial profits
They have the poorest risk and hedging strategy, which reflects that they are not as knowledgeable as they claim to be.
They get rude if you don't take the trade they offer.
Keep in mind that the profit they show on the demo account is mostly algorithmic trade and on bitcoin, whereas they will never allow you to take algo trade on a live account.
They failed to provide their liquidity provider details, which means they maintain their own liquidity pool. This means that your losses in the market are their profits. Such brokers are termed as scammers in the market, and regulators advise individuals to stay away from such companies. In short, their long-term intention is to show you some profits and then induce you to pump more money into the account. Eventually you will lose everything.
During initial calls, they will promise to teach you how to do analysis and mention they will teach you to trade, but in reality, they only call you to buy and sell, nothing else. I can keep going, but the above points should be good enough for an individual planning to start with the company to make an informed decision.
Trading Features
I’ve been through some rough patches in this industry not in the sense of trading platforms but in the sense that I often feel like I need to know of more trading features that can help me. I joined this firm because I heard they make trading more user friendly and I have yet to see that. I’m looking forward to being able to sit back and relax while activating some trading bots to do the work for me. I’m in the process of setting up all these good stuff with my account manager Sam Fox. Looking forward to seeing results.
Starlight nailed it
As a new trader, I was bombarded with information and advice and felt disorganised with little success. But ever since I began following Jeffery Goldman's instructions, I feel more optimistic and confident about my trading prospects. I am starting to generate some profits and gaining valuable knowledge along the way. Jeffery is kind and explains slowly and thoroughly
Trade Responsibly
Trading with this firm has led me to trade more responsibly. Whether it be the trust I was lacking from the beginning or the sense of responsibility I crave to hold. This firm tries its best to give the trader the tools that can help them. Sometimes it can feel like too much and sometimes it can be a great solution.
Many of the tools Jonathan offered me were a bit too much for me, I wasn’t sure I can fully put my trust in a stop loss order, so I preferred not to. However, there were other things I agreed to implement and were a great success. Listen to your gut and don’t always agree to what your mentor may offer because it may not be the best fit for you. Although this firm only has good intentions for its clients.
11/10
It was truly impressive how quickly Johnny Kay responded to my email asking for assistance. And it's not the first time, every time I reach out to him via email or WhatsApp, I receive an immediate response. Very satisfied with the service 11/10.

overall very Solid platform but not bad
Good start
Using starlight capital, I recently began trading. For me, a complete rookie, it has been a really great experience. Mike Specter, who is a remarkable account manager, deserves all the praise. He taught me with a lot of patience the fundamentals and enabled me to get off to a strong start !

It all started off ok but as so many…A bad experience
It all started off ok but as so many have said they now ignore your requests and don’t answer your emails.
My trading was stopped in May of this year and no one will answer me to tell me why. I can’t access my money.
How they treat people is awful.Please don’t fall for all the niceties they give you , keep your money.
Best Trading coach
Sarah Levin!
Before I say much, I promise you won't find a better account manager than her!
She has this special sense of calmness and confidence, which is quite a contagious feature that plays a big part in achieving success, especially when dealing with money and stressed traders:) (as I can sometimes be, thank you a million times for your understanding me, especially in times of stress)
I wish everyone would just follow your path. Thank you a million times you give the best trading signals i tried other people but they are nowhere close.
Wishing us all the luck.

Can Improve
~A firm that I would say needs some improvement in different areas, I won’t specify what exactly because everyone has different views.
~In the sense of reliability and trust I’ve had no issues. I was also able to withdraw my money when needed.
~Before trading with them do your research and due diligence. Overall an ok experience.
spreads & service
I can't say that I have used their support services too much, but when I did need any clarification or assistants, I received excellent treatment, the team was well trained, and you can see that each one was picked.
If I may add one more thing is that their spreads are very convenient, with my other broker, there are times when the spreads can be quite high.
Unscrupulous, dishonest and just Vile
This company is fake. Benjamin Keys if that’s his name is a Disgusting human being. They told my money and then tried to blame me for not being able to return to me. They will lie about everything. Gains your trust then they pounce. When you try and withdraw your funds that’s when their true colour get shown. Do not confuse this Starlight Capital who is using good reviews from the real starlight Capital based out of Canada. Don’t be fooled
It takes time to withdraw money
It takes time to withdraw money, so there are some issues, despite the good platform;)
Fraud, fraud.....This is absolute scam & dangerous to…
This is absolute scam & dangerous to even recieve the calls and invest a peny. your investments are gone from day one. Account managers available only when investment to be pushed to account then after they are not traceable. They are only to squeeze your money from your account then after they show some digital profits on screen but never, never allow / approve your withdrawal request. I have experiienced with 2 cheating - account managers 1. Andew Klavan andrew.katstarlightcapital.io and 2. Anthony Savva anthony.satstarlightcapital.io.
They start with $250 and slowly show some fake profits in digital then increase your trust/confidence to invest more then show some profits until you dont put a request for withdraw, once you start with drawal request then your amount will become $0 in few hours/minutes. It is all mall function they operate, all fake positions they create by using our ID. Please dont trust these fraud account managers. They have shown me $55K profit with multiple investments/ positions total of $12K but never allowed me to withdraw $1 except initial $250 (that is just to create some confidence to invest more from your bank). It is complete fraud and dont trust these buggers. I have captured all evidences.
They never give up
After my initial review on 2nd January these con artists are still calling me.
The calls have become less frequent since I started being abusive but still too often.
Although it is a good platform
Although it is a good platform, withdrawal take a little time, so there are some issues
Very solid platform
Very solid platform, there is a lack of some tools but no that critical and a little higher fees.
And good customer service.
The platform has some technical issues
The platform has some technical issues, but the costumer support is excellent
