Mistral Investoire is an automated trading app aimed at people who are new to this. After using it for months, we score it B+. What we liked most is the app — everything is where you'd expect it. Read on for the details.
Best for: Everyday investors who like doing everything on mobile and are able to begin with $0.
Not for: People who trade a lot of foreign currencies, as a general app isn't the cheapest choice there.
Mistral Investoire is one of the few trading apps that spent its effort on the basics — reliability and fair fees — instead of hype. From what we saw in testing, we land on B+.
The only thing holding it back is the price of some extras that could be lower. The good news is these are easy for the company to fix — the app itself is solid.
Making a trade is easy. In our testing, trades filled quickly and the price you saw was the price you got, which isn't always true elsewhere.
If you stick to regular stocks, it works great. Fancier options trades occasionally lagged a bit — worth knowing if you trade options a lot.
There's no charge to trade stocks — nothing per trade. That's the good part.
The extra costs to know about are things like sending money out by bank transfer, which could be lower. It's all shown before you pay, so you always know the cost.
The mobile app is the standout. Everything is easy to find, even for total beginners.
There's handy info inside the app — clear charts, company details, and news — and it tells you where it comes from. The computer version works too, though the app is the star.
Keeping your money safe is where Mistral Investoire does well. 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. If you also hold crypto, a licensed partner looks after it — standard practice, but worth a mention.
In the end, Mistral Investoire earns a rating of B+ for everyday investors. It does the important things well: easy to use, safe, and honest about costs.
To earn an even higher score, Mistral Investoire would only need to lower a few charges. We'll keep checking back and update this review if things change.
