OCI

OCI OASIS (operating under the domain oasisinvestment.eu) is a retail forex and CFD broker founded on 13 September 2024 and registered in Cyprus. The broker is regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) under a Derivatives Trading License (STP status), which places it within the European Union's regulatory framework.

As a relatively new entrant, OCI OASIS positions itself as an STP (Straight Through Processing) broker, offering direct market access and execution without dealing desk intervention. The company's registered address is at Kremmastis Rodou 62, 1st Floor, Flat/Office 101, Episkopi, 4620, Limassol, Cyprus.

OCI OASIS holds a CySEC license, which is a Tier-1 regulator within the European Economic Area. CySEC-regulated brokers must adhere to strict capital adequacy requirements, client money segregation, and reporting standards. The broker also offers negative balance protection, a key safeguard for retail traders.

However, traders should note that being CySEC-regulated means leverage is capped at 1:30 for major forex pairs under ESMA rules. The broker's low FXCanary Scam Risk Score of 24/100 indicates a low risk of fraudulent activity based on available information.

OCI OASIS provides the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform to its clients. MT5 is a multi-asset platform known for its advanced charting tools, technical indicators, and algorithmic trading capabilities. The platform is available as a web-based version, accessible from any browser, which eliminates the need for installation.

Features highlighted by the broker include real-time quotes, multiple order types, nine timeframes, and 30 built-in indicators. The platform also supports automated trading through Expert Advisors (EAs) and provides access to a marketplace for additional tools.

OCI OASIS offers Contracts for Difference (CFDs) across a range of asset classes. According to its website, traders can access over 40 currency pairs in the forex market, as well as CFDs on indices, commodities, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. The broker promotes direct interbank market execution for forex, with fast execution speeds.

The exact number of instruments is not specified beyond forex (55+ spot instruments), but typical CySEC brokers offer several hundred CFDs. Leverage is available up to 1:30 for retail clients, in line with ESMA regulations.

While specific account types (e.g., standard, premium, Islamic) are not detailed in the available web pages, the broker's website mentions 'multiple online trading accounts' and a fast account opening process in three steps: register, fund, and trade. Funding methods are described as 'fast deposit and withdrawal', but specific payment options (credit cards, bank wire, e-wallets) are not listed.

Clients can expect negative balance protection and market execution with no external fees. The broker also emphasizes that it charges no commissions on trades, relying on spreads.

OCI OASIS provides customer support via email at support@oasisinvestment.eu and phone at +357 25255682, with operating hours from 09:00 to 18:00 GMT+2. The physical address listed for support is 238 Agias Fylaxeos Street, Megaro Anna 1st Floor, Flat/Office 101, 3082 Limassol, Cyprus, which differs from the registered office but remains in Limassol.

The website also includes a contact form and an 'About Us' page that emphasizes a customer-first approach and a management team with over 30 years of combined industry experience.

OCI OASIS is aimed at both retail and institutional traders looking for a regulated, STP broker with access to MetaTrader 5. The low leverage cap (1:30) makes it suitable for conservative traders and those who prefer lower risk exposure. The broker's European regulation may appeal to traders in the EU who want the protections of MiFID II.

However, the broker's recent establishment (2024) means it lacks a long track record. Traders should verify the CySEC license on the official register and consider the broker's limited history. The negative balance protection and regulatory oversight provide a baseline of safety.
