About OZIOS
Overview
OZIOS is a Cyprus-based online broker operating under the brand O.Z.I. Online Zone Investment Opportunities. Founded on March 12, 2021, the broker is headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, at Spyrou Kyprianou 25, Floor 1/Office 103. It is a registered trademark of APME FX Trading Europe Ltd, a Cyprus Investment Firm. The broker offers leveraged trading on forex and CFDs, targeting both retail and professional traders.
Regulation
OZIOS is regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) under license number CIF 335/17. This regulation subjects the broker to MiFID II standards, including client fund segregation, negative balance protection, and leverage restrictions for retail clients. CySEC regulation also provides access to the Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) for eligible clients.
Account Types
OZIOS provides six account tiers: Start (€100 minimum), Basic (€10,000), Normal (€50,000), Premier (€250,000), VIP (€500,000), and Professional (€1,000,000). The Professional account requires a high minimum deposit, indicating it is for experienced traders who may opt for higher leverage or reduced regulatory protections. The broker does not publicly specify leverage levels for these accounts.
Trading Platform
The broker offers the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform, a widely-used multi-asset platform supporting forex, stocks, commodities, and indices. MT5 provides advanced charting tools, automated trading via Expert Advisors (EAs), and access to multiple markets. OZIOS claims MT5 has received industry awards.
Instruments and Funding
While the broker’s website mentions physical shares and CFDs on forex, commodities, equities, and indices, specific instrument lists are not provided on the main pages. The broker accepts various payment methods, and states it does not charge deposit or withdrawal fees. Funding methods include bank transfers, credit/debit cards, and possibly e-wallets.
Client Suitability
OZIOS caters to a wide range of traders, from beginners with small capital to high-net-worth individuals. The account structure implies that higher minimum deposits may offer better trading conditions, though the broker does not detail spread or commission differences. The 81.54% retail loss warning indicates the high risk of CFD trading.
