About EGMARKETS
Overview
EGMARKETS is an online brokerage that was registered in the United Kingdom on 25 January 2022, with a registered address at 34 South Molton Street, Mayfair, London. The broker targets traders in Africa, particularly Nigeria, offering forex, indices, commodities, and share CFDs.
Despite its UK registration, EGMARKETS does not hold any recognised financial regulator licence. The broker’s domain (egmarkets.trade) and client portal (clients.eagleglobalmarkets.com) indicate a connection to the brand Eagle Global Markets.
Regulation and Risk
EGMARKETS operates without oversight from any major financial regulator such as the FCA, CySEC, or ASIC. The only third-party affiliation visible on its website is a membership logo of the Financial Commission, a private dispute resolution service that is not a regulatory body.
For traders, this absence of regulation means no investor protection schemes, no mandatory segregation of client funds, and no independent monitoring of business practices. The FXCanary Scam Risk Score of 43/100 reflects this high-risk profile.
Trading Instruments
The broker claims to offer forex pairs, shares, indices, and commodities. The specific number of instruments is not detailed on the website, but the broker emphasises a multi-asset offering.
Leverage is advertised up to 1:400, which is significantly higher than the limits imposed by regulated brokers in jurisdictions like the EU or UK. This high leverage amplifies both potential gains and losses.
Platforms and Tools
EGMARKETS provides the widely recognised MetaTrader 4 (MT4) platform, which includes advanced charting, technical indicators, and automated trading capabilities. Additionally, the broker promotes its proprietary Eagletrade platform, a browser-based solution that allows trading in Nigerian Naira.
A mobile app is also listed on the Google Play Store, though user reviews and functionality are not independently verified.
Account Types and Deposits
The minimum deposit is stated as up to $250, but specific account tiers (e.g., standard, premium) are not publicly listed. The broker encourages Nigerian clients with local currency support and a local Nigerian phone number for support.
Funding methods are not explicitly detailed, but the availability of local currency trading suggests possible bank transfers or local payment options.
Customer Support and Education
Support is available via phone, email, and WhatsApp, with a Nigerian contact number. The broker offers educational webinars twice weekly and trading signals to subscribers.
A partnership programme for introducing brokers is also featured, with commission-based earnings.
