Octrado broker profile: current Gulf Brokers identity, accounts, costs and contract conditions

Current Seychelles broker reached from Gulf Brokers, with seven trading levels, MT5 CFDs and conditional bonus/interest offers. This profile distinguishes published prices from contract terms and identifies deposit, execution, migration and insurance gaps.

By FXBrokers.ai ResearchOperating status: ActiveSources checked Published Updated
Profile scope

Current Seychelles offer of Octrado Ltd.. FSA trade names are Alpho and Octrado; GulfBrokers.com redirects to Octrado. EU residents are excluded by the current website. No legacy account migration or unrelated Gulf entity is assumed.

  • Current FSA record links Octrado Ltd. with Alpho, Octrado and the Gulf Brokers domain; legacy account migration terms remain unverified.
  • Seven deposit tiers are published, but Level 1 minimum differs between the Levels and Costs pages.
  • The 10% bonus has cash-release turnover conditions; early withdrawals or low cash equity can remove credit and affect margin.
  • Execution policy makes negative balances payable; a broad insurance or compensation guarantee was not established.
