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.
