I am happy to see, lot of Forex traders in Dubai are aware of FCA UK and always opt for Forex broker, regulated by it.
FCA-UK have strict check on compliance and auditing of Forex brokers books to see, if they are doing fare enough with the traders. Recently, FCA-UK is becoming more and more strict to protect the traders and drastically measures been take in this regard. In coming months, FCA(UK) Regulated Forex brokers in Dubai will not be able to offer bonus to the clients. This is to reduce the risk for FX traders as Forex brokers lure customers to trade certain number of lots to get this bonus which
increase the risk of losing all the money, most time.
The other restriction is leverage which will be reduced by current 1:150 to 1:10 but it still not clear when it will be applied. This measure taken by FCA-UK is to make
sure that Traders will take less risk to do online trading.
