I kept digging a bit more after watching those videos and came across something interesting while checking a government consumer protection site. The screenshot I’m sharing is from their investor alert section, which lists entities that people are advised to be cautious about. From what I understand, entries on that list often involve businesses that don’t hold an Australian Financial Services licence or aren’t authorised to offer investments in Australia, so regulators flag them as something investors should be wary of.
Not saying this alone settles the whole debate, but seeing it mentioned on a regulatory alert list definitely adds another piece to the puzzle. It kind of reinforces the idea that checking multiple independent sources, like we discussed earlier, is probably the safest approach before trusting any automated trading platform. Curious what everyone else here thinks about this.
