SGFX broker profile

Standard, Elite and ECN account terms, multi-asset CFDs, MT5 access, cash-versus-bonus rules and the Mauritius contract, including conflicting automation policies.

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

Mauritius trading contract; UAE introduction company is separate. Company-published terms and material current-document conflicts are retained.

SGFX offers FX and CFDs on stock indices, shares, metals, energy and cryptocurrencies through MetaTrader 5 and its SGFX Trader web route. Standard starts at US$100; Elite and ECN publish higher entry amounts and different headline pricing. The current legal pack contains significant restrictions on short holding periods and automated trading that differ from the platform marketing.[1][2][3][6]

This profile covers the international offer where Spectra Global Ltd in Mauritius is the contracting firm. The group’s UAE company introduces clients; its role is separate from the Mauritius trading agreement. Country acceptance and the entity shown in the completed application remain account-specific.[14][4]

A free demo application is linked from the homepage. The agreement covers natural and legal persons, requires legal capacity and identity checks, and gives the company discretion to accept an application. The website excludes residents of Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, Russia and the United States, with additional sanctions and jurisdiction restrictions.[3][4][14]

The site links a futures product category, but the agreement describes an OTC FX/CFD relationship. A futures label therefore does not establish direct exchange membership or delivery rights. Expiry, contract size, trading session and available symbols depend on the actual instrument specification.[16][4][2]

The product page also retains Gold, Platinum and VIP account terminology alongside the Standard, Elite and ECN matrix. No dated mapping between those names is supplied. For commission, Client Agreement §9(d) points first to the notified or published rate and specifies a 0.01% transaction-value fallback only if no rate is published or notified; it is not an additional universal charge on the advertised zero-commission accounts.[2][1][4]

Financing, administration and payment costs

Financing, administration and payment costs
ItemPublished rule
Overnight financingDebit or credit at 23:59 server time; converted into the account’s balance currency. Rates may change. The reviewed schedule does not state the server’s UTC offset or a universal triple-charge day.Source 4
Swap-free promotionHomepage eligibility is limited to certain products. A complete instrument list, grace period and substitute-fee schedule are not supplied with that claim.Source 3Source 16
Bank withdrawalApproximately US$100 in the Withdrawal Policy; bank and intermediary costs may also affect the net receipt.Source 7
Six-month inactivityClient Agreement §18(n): the company may charge US$15, or account-currency equivalent, after six months without activity. A recurring billing interval is not specified.Source 4
Low-balance closure / disablement§18(o) permits closure after notice where funds are below US$15. Separately, §29(k) permits disablement when BOTH six-month inactivity and a balance below US$15 apply; the client may reactivate the account.Source 4

Withdrawal Policy §3.7 uses different and grammatically incomplete wording, referring to a balance below US$0 together with six-month inactivity. It does not cleanly reconcile with the agreement’s US$15 maintenance and disablement clauses. These thresholds should not be combined into a new rule.[7][4]

Platforms and trading conditions

At a glance05

Platform access and operating scope

Platform access and operating scope
RoutePublished capabilities and limits
MT5 desktopWindows and Mac links; charts, analytical tools and market depth are advertised. The availability of a platform function does not override SGFX’s trading policies.Source 11
MT5 mobileAndroid and iOS; opening, modifying and closing positions, price monitoring and charts are explicitly described. The page does not promise desktop automation on mobile.Source 11
SGFX TraderA separate web-trader link is provided at trader.sgfx.com. A public device-by-device order or automation specification was not established.Source 3
Execution relationshipClient Agreement §16 says the firm acts as principal. §11 also uses STP language, while the execution policy describes principal dealing and possible liquidity-provider routing; ECN is an account name, not proof of agency-only execution.Source 4Source 9
Order acceptance and changesAn order becomes effective when received and accepted. Cancellation or amendment is permitted only before the company has acted on it. Relevant market opening hours govern execution.Source 5
Margin and closeoutThe agreement defines margin level as equity divided by margin and describes closing the positions using the highest margin first. A universal numeric margin-call or stop-out percentage was not found in these account documents.Source 4

The current Risk Warning §13 requires positions to be held for at least three minutes, prohibits hedging within the first three minutes and states that each trade should move at least five pips in profit or loss. Its stated consequence for early closure or hedging is non-recognition of the profit. The separate Prohibited Practices Policy also restricts scalping and latency exploitation.[6][10]

Automation is materially inconsistent across the public documents. The MT5 page promotes EAs and custom algorithms, and Client Agreement §10 discusses client use of algorithms. Risk Warning §17, however, expressly prohibits EAs, robots, scripts and copy-trading bots and requires manual trading. It permits account restrictions, trade cancellation and profit reversal. Automated strategies cannot be treated as unconditionally permitted on the strength of the MT5 marketing.[11][4][6]

Funding and withdrawal instructions

Funding and withdrawal instructions
Method or stepPublished terms
Bank transfersThe policy gives bank posting time of 3–5 business days. This is separate from the company’s withdrawal processing period.Source 7
Credit/debit cardsPolicy transaction bounds are US$50 minimum and US$10,000 maximum. A daily or monthly aggregation period is not stated.Source 7
E-walletsThe Withdrawal Policy says they are currently unavailable. Generic payment artwork is not a method-specific withdrawal entitlement.Source 7
Request and processingSubmit through the client portal. Typical processing is within 48 hours; the policy moves out-of-hours requests to the next business day without defining those operating hours.Source 7
Beneficiary and checksReturn by the original payment method and to the original source; an alternative may be proposed. Additional identity/source-of-funds checks can delay or prevent a request.Source 7
Available fundsWithdrawal to the account vault is limited to available free margin. Transfer fees and reversals can reduce the credited balance.Source 4

Current website account buttons use newcrm.sgfx.com, while the linked agreement and Withdrawal Policy still name client.sgfx.com. The public documents do not provide a dated portal migration notice or explain whether credentials, statements and pending requests migrate automatically. The website’s instant-withdrawal headline should be read with the policy’s processing and bank-arrival terms.[3][4][7]

FeatureCondition
Amount and eligibility100% of a qualifying first deposit; programme minimum US$10 and maximum bonus US$25,000. One claim per client. The programme minimum does not replace the selected account’s opening deposit.Source 8
Credit versus cashInitially trading credit, described as tradable but not available to absorb losses. US$5 is released per completed standard FX lot, credited daily; metals and other CFDs do not count.Source 8
Timing and withdrawalBonus validity is 15 days from credit. Email support after the required volume for release. Profits are withdrawable after anti-abuse checks; cash withdrawal removes the corresponding bonus proportion.Source 8
Removal conditionsCredit can be removed when cash equity reaches zero or less. Internal transfers of qualifying cash count as withdrawals. The separate bonus-inactivity trigger is more than 30 consecutive days.Source 8

Client money and protections

Scope of the published protections

Scope of the published protections
SubjectWhat the documents establish
Client-money structureThe agreement describes pooled, segregated client accounts. It also allows title transfer of trading margin to the company as security, after which that margin is a debt owed to the client rather than client money.Source 4
Negative balancesAn unconditional retail negative-balance guarantee was not established. The risk disclosure contemplates losses beyond deposited funds, and the Withdrawal Policy expressly allows payment reversals and fees to create a negative balance.Source 6Source 7
Compensation and insuranceThe Risk Warning states that no statutory compensation scheme applies to this relationship. No current private insurance policy with named insured, per-client limit and aggregate cover was established in the reviewed legal pack.Source 6Source 16

Contact formWebsite

For an outage, the General Terms ordinarily require electronic orders and allow another route only when the firm has notified the client that it is available. Alternative instructions may require identity checks. The Client Agreement recognises telephone instructions as binding, but no dedicated emergency dealing number or guaranteed email execution service is published on the reviewed contact page.[5][4][13]

Withdrawal complaints must be made in writing to [email protected]. The Prohibited Practices Policy gives a client five business days to respond to a flagged-activity notice. The reviewed documents do not provide a single firm-wide complaint acknowledgement and final-response timetable.[7][10][16]

FSC verification limitationThe current company documents match the entity and claimed licence, but an independent current firm entry could not be established in the FSC register. The licence is recorded as not independently verified.Source 14
Spectra Global Financial Markets LLC — UAEThe site describes Category 5 licence 20200000307 and an introducing-broker role. It is a separate company; that introduction permission is not attributed to the Mauritius account.Source 14
Brand and official routeSGFX is the Spectra Global brand; the former spectragloballtd.com domain redirects to sgfx.com. No dated client-contract migration notice was established.Source 3Source 14

The Mauritius registered address is The Cyberati Lounge, Ground Floor, The Catalyst, Silicon Avenue, 40 Cybercity, Ebene 72201. The withdrawal document dates the company’s stated GBL and investment-dealer licence grants to 29 June 2023; that is not an independently verified brand-launch date. The site publishes no audited operating figures in the reviewed company material.[14][7][15]
