Futu Securities has its perks, but let's keep it real. The platform did provide a ticket out of my uninspiring job, letting me chase my passions. The freedom is great, but it comes at a cost. The app's user interface is a maze, making simple tasks unnecessarily complicated. Customer service is hit or miss – sometimes helpful, other times, it feels like talking to a wall.

The execution is not up to par, often experiencing delays, and the slippage is remarkably high. I've also encountered frequent freezes of my funds on the platform, which is quite frustrating.
