Northgate Markets

Multi-asset broker · London, United Kingdom

8.6 Excellent

Northgate Markets is the platform we point most first-time comparers to when they want one account that can hold long-term share positions and still trade short-term CFDs.

Saudi Arabia: served under the FCA licence (United Kingdom), also authorised by CySEC, ASIC. Minimum deposit $50. Commission-free shares, spreads from 0.6 pips.

Pros

  • Strong three-regulator footprint
  • Wide instrument range for a retail broker
  • Fast, well-designed mobile app

Cons

  • Inactivity fee kicks in after one year
  • Research tools are thinner than a full-service broker
What we found in testing

Who it suits

Investors who want to buy real shares and ETFs but occasionally hedge or speculate with leverage. The two account types sit side by side and share a single funding wallet, so there is no juggling of transfers.

Costs in practice

Share dealing is commission-free with a small FX conversion fee on non-base-currency stocks. CFD spreads are mid-pack: not the tightest we have seen, but there are no hidden platform fees. The inactivity charge only matters if you walk away for a year.

Platform and tools

The proprietary web platform is quick and clean, and power users can route orders through MetaTrader 4/5 or TradingView. Charting, alerts and a basic screener are all included at no cost.

Safety

Client money is held in segregated accounts and retail clients are covered by negative balance protection in every jurisdiction where Northgate is licensed.

#2

Kestrel Trading

Forex & CFD broker · Sydney, Australia

8.6 Excellent

Kestrel Trading is a specialist. If you already know what a lot size is and care about execution latency, this is the most complete offer on our list.

Saudi Arabia: served under the ASIC licence (Australia), also authorised by FCA, DFSA, FSCA. Minimum deposit $200. Raw spreads from 0.0 pips + $3.50 per lot per side.

Pros

  • Institutional-grade execution speed
  • Every popular third-party platform supported
  • No inactivity or withdrawal fees

Cons

  • $200 minimum deposit
  • Share CFDs only, no real equities
  • Education aimed at experienced traders
What we found in testing

Who it suits

Active forex and index traders, algorithmic traders running Expert Advisors, and anyone who wants cTrader or a FIX API.

Costs in practice

The Raw account charges $7 round-turn per lot on top of near-zero spreads, which works out cheaper than a spread-only account for most strategies. A Standard account with wider spreads and no commission exists for smaller traders.

Platform and tools

Kestrel does not push a proprietary platform; instead it hosts MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView with identical pricing across all four. VPS hosting is free above a modest monthly volume.

Safety

Client funds are segregated at tier-one banks and the group publishes its execution statistics quarterly, which is rare at this size.

#3

Sable Markets

Forex & CFD broker · Dubai, UAE & Johannesburg, South Africa

8.1 Very good

Sable Markets stands out for being licensed where its clients live. That matters in regions where many competitors operate purely offshore.

Saudi Arabia: served under the DFSA licence (DIFC, UAE), also authorised by FSCA, CMA, SCA. Minimum deposit $25. Spreads from 0.8 pips, no commission on Standard.

Pros

  • Genuine local licences rather than offshore-only
  • Deposits in AED, ZAR, KES, NGN
  • Multilingual support that understands the region

Cons

  • Smaller instrument list
  • No real shares
  • Highest published loss rate on our list
What we found in testing

Who it suits

Traders in the Gulf and sub-Saharan Africa who want to fund in local currency and deal with a regulator that can actually help them.

Costs in practice

The Standard account is spread-only from 0.8 pips; the Pro account tightens spreads and adds a $3 per-lot commission. Deposits and withdrawals to local methods are free, which is unusual.

Platform and tools

MetaTrader 4 and 5 are the primary platforms, with a proprietary mobile app for quick trades. Copy trading is available through the MT5 signals marketplace.

Safety

Client money is segregated under each licence. Negative balance protection applies to retail clients of the DFSA and FSCA entities.

أسئلة المستثمرين في Saudi Arabia

Which regulator protects investors in Saudi Arabia?

The primary supervisor is the Capital Market Authority. Firms may also serve residents of Saudi Arabia under a passport or cross-border permission from another recognised regulator; our listings note which licence applies to you.

Can I deposit in SAR?

Most platforms listed for Saudi Arabia accept SAR deposits by card or bank transfer. If a platform only holds accounts in USD or EUR, a conversion fee applies each time you fund or withdraw, so check the platform's fee page.

Do I have to pay tax on profits in Saudi Arabia?

In most cases yes, on realised gains and on dividends. Some countries apply withholding automatically at domestic brokers; with foreign brokers you usually self-report. Our tax basics guide explains what records to keep, and a local adviser can confirm your position.

What is the difference between a demo and a live account?

A demo account uses virtual money and real prices so you can learn the platform without risk. A live account uses your deposit. We recommend at least a couple of weeks on a demo before funding.

How do I know a platform is really licensed?

Find the legal entity name in the platform's footer and search it on the Capital Market Authority register or the register of the regulator named in our listing. Never trust a screenshot of a licence.

What does the "retail accounts lose money" figure mean?

Regulators require CFD providers to publish the share of retail clients who lost money over the previous year. It applies to leveraged products only. We show it beside every platform that offers CFDs so you can see the risk before you click.

Can I hold real shares, or only CFDs?

It depends on the platform. Our listing shows the asset classes each one offers and whether they are cash securities or derivatives. Long-term investors should look for real shares and ETFs.

What happens to my money if the platform fails?

Client money at a regulated firm is held separately from company funds, so it is not used to pay the firm's creditors. Most jurisdictions also run an investor compensation scheme with a per-client limit. Check the limit that applies in Saudi Arabia.
