Became much more harder to deposit my money.
too soon to tell, only been a few hrs. i have had no issues depositing money right away. overall so good.
it needs more crypto, however, simple UI, perfect
You can't use the trade buy and sell stop loss function like other brokers in the tradingview chart.
It is an outstanding site and beginner-friendly!
not what I expected
Actually pretty nice website.
NOT USABLE! - I meant to place a stop order pretty far below price! Then I realized I placed a limit order! TV has no stop orders! I just lost exit/entry fees ($7 in my case) due to some confusion. Bitstamp ordering is limited, when not buggy (see below). - Bitstamp's official trading UI (not here in TV) doesn't have Stop Loss or Take Profit features but at least it works. The TradingView integration not only does has no Stop Loss and Take Profit features, but orders often fail saying an insufficient funds error (while the same order in Bitstamp's official UI for the same amount will succeed). - Because of the failing orders, I end up just having to switch to Bitstamp to actually place orders, so the TradingView integration is pretty much not useful, no need to have it, hence a rating of 1 (for now). - The integration also disconnects after some time of inactivity, and sometimes I can't reconnect. The auth screen will redirect back to TV but it will be blank. Then when I manually go back to TV, it is not connected. - The account summary shows many symbols of which I do not own, all with zero balances. I do not need to see all that, and I don't want to have to scroll all the way to the bottom to see my USD and BTC balances. Just don't show assets with zero balance! If filed order issues are fixed, it'll go up to 2 without necessary features like Stop Loss on Market and Limit orders. A score of 3 would be basic expectations with at least Stop Loss on orders. To get 4 or more, the view in the trading panel need to be more robust, and ordering features need to be robust like Webull. What keeps a big company like Bitstamp from adding basic necessities and working in basic ways without bugs? I really hope it will improve, and if it does, I'll gladly improve my rating, but right now besides the features being lackluster, the integration is totally unreliable and you are forced to use Bitstamp directly. This is not usable.
Some of the features like p&l is not visible on the chart
I need to know if I can set both a stop-loss as well as a take-profit order in a trade. I have tried self-navigating the order panel, researching, e-mailing and even calling Bitstamp for answers, but to no avail. If my suspicions are true, then it is not worth using Bitstamp, as not everyone can sit in front a screen 24/7 and manually exit trades.

horrible
good platform
Expected it to feel like a trading experience but my first impressions felt like I was just investing... use another broker if you want to trade crypto. I even had a one dollar gain and so I decided to sell since this wasn't for me only to notice I lost more than I had so the fees were pretty high. I suppose this IS more like an investment rather than trading. That's just me but I'm moving out of this. Also, there are no SP or TP and I can't see my own orders.
All the candlesticks are all glitching. Your unable to read it.
No SL and TP avalible. Not good for Trading maybe investing
