Mindrengen is a "let the software help you trade" platform made for people who are new to this. After testing it ourselves, we rate it A-. What we liked most is the app — it's simple to use. Read on for the details.
Best for: Regular people who like doing everything on mobile and are comfortable starting with $0.
Not for: Professional traders who trade all day, or people who want to reach a person by phone at any hour.
Mindrengen is one of the few trading apps that focused on getting the important things right — reliability and fair fees — instead of hype. From what we saw in testing, we rate it A-.
What keeps it from a top score is a few charges that run a bit high. The good news is these are easy for the company to fix — nothing is wrong under the hood.
Placing a trade is quick and simple. When we tried it, everything went through without fuss and you usually got a fair price, sometimes even a little better than other apps.
For everyday stock trades, it does the job well. More advanced trades can sometimes be a little slower — worth knowing if you trade options a lot.
There's no charge to trade stocks — nothing per trade. That's a big plus.
The extra costs to know about are things like sending money out by bank transfer, that are pricier than some rivals. None of it is hidden, so there are no nasty surprises.
The mobile app is the standout. Everything is easy to find, even for total beginners.
You get useful research built in — clear charts, company details, and news — with the sources shown. The website is fine as well, though the app is the star.
Safety is a strong point. Your funds are kept apart from the company's own money, for your protection.
The platform is regulated in more than one country and gets checked by outside auditors. For crypto, it's kept with a trusted, licensed partner — which is worth knowing.
All told, we rate Mindrengen A- for everyday investors. It nails what matters: simple, safe, and fair.
For a perfect score, Mindrengen would only need to lower a few charges. We'll keep checking back every so often.
