My Overall Impression with SternOption Live Chat
The chat with SternOption representative was a usual chat like many other chats with other brokers. The answers were quick but not very in depth. For example on my first question – what they have special to offer the answer was that they have many offers right now but I have to speak with account manager to understand more about them. This is the usual reply when the representative can’t offer something in reality. The other answer I don’t liked as much was the answer to the question about demo accounts. The representative told me that they don’t offer demo because they are reputable firm. Why is that? Many reputable brokers offer demo accounts. That’s why for me this excuse is not acceptable. Nothing more to say here. The only sure thing is the broker really exists and at least their support is responsive.
