Connecting to your service seems like a lottery these days.
Is it going to be fixed one day?
It's really annoying, when you need to keep pressing on reload.

TorBroker is back on a new address. Trade thousands of stocks at: http://torbroker2ulwffg.onion/

The URL has been changed because of the recent Heartbleed issue.

Absolutely. Are you sure Javascript is enabled in your browser?

Oh, it's never enabled. No way around it? Sad
Currently you need Javascript enabled to use TorBroker. We may look at implementing a fallback in the future, but right now automatic and leveraged trading is our priority.

Is it considered as gambling?
Trading stocks could be called as a risky investment, or better yet a gamble. Wink

EDIT: The website is also up now. Tongue

Is it just me or can I not access both the Tor and non-Tor based versions of the site anymore? Just worried about my investment there, to say the least...

Happy New Year!

We are still working to introduce exciting new features to TorBroker. Expect to see live trading, margin trading, and a better portfolio interface in the coming months.

If you don't have the TorBrowser, you can now also access the website in your regular browser through: https://torbrokerge7zxgq.onion.lu
However, please note that this requires some trust in the owner of the onion.lu proxy as he can snoop your login credentials.

Also, we've decided to keep the $5 minimum trade commission for the entirety of 2014.

May 2014 be the year of financial freedom and prosperity!

If you can't reveal your company name, then how is your firm going to deal with a huge capital gains tax?

Are you trading as an individual or an entity?

If you are withholding the tax, are you guys doing some form of tax arbitrage? How do you intend to make a profit?

----
If I'm trading from Australia, as a foreigner I can't get dividends, but if I trade with you, do I get the dividend?

For a normal foreign investor there is no point collecting the dividend or not because they can't claim any tax offsets (e.g. franking credits)... However, TorBroker may be able to claim it and benefit, but don't know the insides of the U.S. tax system.

I already sell and then buy back my US shares on interactivebrokers each time there is a dividend.
TorBroker operates from jurisdictions with no capital gains tax.

Dividends are currently added to your balance when you sell the security. A 15% dividend tax applies to US stocks. ADRs representing companies in other countries may be subject to dividend taxes of their local jurisdictions as well - we recommend you investigate the rate for the jurisdiction of the specific company you want to buy. Dividend taxes are subtracted before we receive the dividends in our accounts. Whatever amount we receive we simply add to your TorBroker USD balance.

We've set up www.torbroker.info to promote the service to people not yet familiar with Tor. Let us know what you think!

I apologize for having to ask this, but,

Please remove "BitPay" mention if you would, any comments I make are my personal opinion, and not an official company endorsement.
We didn't intend for it to look like a company statement but rather just information about who you happen to be. We've removed it now. Looks OK?
