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]
Accounts and entry requirements
Sections ↑Current account comparison
| Account | Website category | Minimum deposit, USD | Advertised spread minimum | Commission label | Maximum leverage | Minimum trade size |

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]
Markets and instruments
Sections ↑Published CFD market range
| Market | Examples or scope | Product-page maximum leverage |
|---|---|---|
| Foreign exchange | Major, minor and exotic currency pairs; EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY appear in the pricing table | 1:500Source 2 |
| Stock indices | Global index CFDs; the page advertises more than 15 indices | 1:100Source 2 |
| Shares | CFDs on individual company shares | 1:20; the page also states 5% marginSource 2 |
| Metals | Gold and silver | Commodities headline up to 1:100Source 2 |
| Energy and other commodities | Oil and natural gas among the named markets | 1:100Source 2 |
| Cryptocurrencies | Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP CFDs; the page advertises 24/7 trading | 1:50Source 2 |
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]
Trading costs and other charges
Sections ↑Instrument figures as displayed on the product page
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
| Item | Published rule |
|---|---|
| Overnight financing | Debit 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 promotion | Homepage 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 withdrawal | Approximately US$100 in the Withdrawal Policy; bank and intermediary costs may also affect the net receipt.Source 7 |
| Six-month inactivity | Client 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
Sections ↑Platform access and operating scope
| Route | Published capabilities and limits |
|---|---|
| MT5 desktop | Windows 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 mobile | Android 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 Trader | A 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 relationship | Client 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 changes | An 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 closeout | The 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]
Deposits, withdrawals and bonus credit
Sections ↑Funding and withdrawal instructions
| Method or step | Published terms |
|---|---|
| Bank transfers | The policy gives bank posting time of 3–5 business days. This is separate from the company’s withdrawal processing period.Source 7 |
| Credit/debit cards | Policy transaction bounds are US$50 minimum and US$10,000 maximum. A daily or monthly aggregation period is not stated.Source 7 |
| E-wallets | The Withdrawal Policy says they are currently unavailable. Generic payment artwork is not a method-specific withdrawal entitlement.Source 7 |
| Request and processing | Submit 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 checks | Return 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 funds | Withdrawal 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]
Published first-deposit bonus terms
| Feature | Condition |
|---|---|
| Amount and eligibility | 100% 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 cash | Initially 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 withdrawal | Bonus 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 conditions | Credit 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
Sections ↑Scope of the published protections
| Subject | What the documents establish |
|---|---|
| Client-money structure | The 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 balances | An 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 insurance | The 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 |
Support and account administration
Sections ↑Published service contacts
Scope SGFX website support
Hours 24/7 is the contact page’s published working-hours claim
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]
Research, records and additional services
Sections ↑Services and continuing account responsibilities
| Service | Published scope |
|---|---|
| Market information | The website links an economic calendar, market watch, technical analysis, a holiday schedule and company announcements. These are informational services; the agreement is execution-only.Source 16Source 4 |
| Trade confirmations | The agreement provides electronic confirmations via the trading platform or client portal. It requires a written objection within one business day of receipt, except for material errors. A specific CSV/PDF or tax-report export workflow was not established.Source 4 |
| Account security | Installation guidance directs clients to contact support about unusual activity and protect credentials. A public 2FA recovery process or post-reset withdrawal-hold timetable was not found.Source 12 |
| Introducing Broker programme | Company advertising offers referral commissions up to US$10 per lot, daily or weekly payouts, volume tracking and negotiated tiers. These are partner payments, separate from retail trading costs.Source 17 |
Company, entities and regulatory records
Sections ↑Identity and regulatory scope
| Entity or brand | Evidence and role |
|---|---|
| Spectra Global Ltd — Mauritius | Company registration 198453; company-published FSC licence GB22201302, Investment Dealer (Full Service Dealer excluding Underwriting). This is the counterparty named in the reviewed Client Agreement.Source 14Source 4 |
| FSC verification limitation | The 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 — UAE | The 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 route | SGFX 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]
