Reflecting on my own experience and careful analysis, I have serious reservations about the legitimacy and overall safety of EGM Securities. The broker has been operating for five to ten years and does offer both MT4 and MT5 platforms, along with a relatively broad selection of tradable instruments and deposit methods. I recognize these can be attractive features for many traders, and I personally appreciate platform choice and asset diversity. However, the most significant red flag for me—one I never overlook—is the firm’s lack of valid regulatory oversight. Despite some claims regarding Kenyan regulation, WikiFX clearly highlights that EGM Securities currently operates without genuine regulatory authorization. In the forex industry, regulation is foundational to trader protection, dispute resolution, and ensuring proper segregation of client funds. Without it, I believe risks such as mismanagement of funds, unfair trading practices, and difficulties in withdrawals become much more pronounced. While the presence of demo accounts, 24/6 customer support, and seemingly competitive trading conditions might appeal to less experienced traders, for me, these benefits cannot offset the fundamental risk of working with an unregulated entity. Positive user feedback does exist, yet it is minimal and does not mitigate the larger concerns about oversight. In my view, EGM Securities cannot be considered fully legitimate or trustworthy without established, transparent regulatory backing. For my own trading, and for the safety of my capital, I would choose to avoid such risk until clear, verifiable oversight is in place.
