    Don’t get scammed – 5 ways to Choose the Best Broker

    Millions of new traders are entering the financial markets each year, hoping to grab their financial freedom. While millions are joining the online trading revolution there are sadly unscrupulous individuals that prey on unsuspecting traders, especially in Kenya.

    These scammers promise high profits with minimal investment and unfortunately, thousands are scammed out of their hard-earned money in Kenya.

    So, how can you protect yourself and avoid being swindled? Today, CMTrading, a licensed and regulated broker, highlights the best ways to find the perfect broker and avoid being scammed online.

    Start with trading with a bonus on your first deposit

    5 things to look for when choosing a broker:

    1. Reputable business reputation

    Before signing up with any company you should research the following online – How long have they been in business? Do they have physical offices? Have they won awards? Do they have a good reputation?

    Scammers prey on individuals who do not do their research.

    CMTrading has been operating since 2012. It is an award-winning broker with offices all over the world including Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa.

    2. License and regulation

    Having both a trading license and a regularity body is critical, as they protect consumers and hold brokers accountable. A major red flag is a business that cannot provide a trading license or isn’t regulated by any recognized authority.

    CMTrading is a fully licensed and regulated broker. The company is a Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) approved broker since 2012 and is also regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA).

    3. Educational materials

    Scammers will never commit to free resources or training; they want your money and the sooner they get it they can vanish.

    CMTrading offers weekly free webinars as well as expert online courses. You’ll be able to trade from Day 1 through our expert courses.

    4. Separate accounts for clients

    Your hard-earned money should be kept separate from your broker and they should never have direct access to your funds.

    All clients’ funds deposited with CMTrading are kept in segregated bank accounts. These funds are fully separated from the company’s funds.

    5. Testimonials from clients

    Be wary of brokers with many negative reviews or who are listed as potential frauds. Look for reviews that mention funds, service, and overall time with the broker.

    More than 1,000,000 subscribers enjoy CMTrading’s award-winning platform. But don’t just take our word for it – we encourage you to read our great reviews on Trustpilot and Benzinga as well as watch client testimonials on our YouTube channel.
