As someone who has spent years navigating the forex and equities markets, regulatory oversight is always a top priority for me when assessing any broker. In OSL’s case, I observed that the company does not currently hold any recognized regulatory licenses. This is not a trivial detail—the lack of regulation means there isn’t an external authority monitoring their operations, enforcing standards, or holding them accountable for issues such as client fund segregation, transparent pricing, or fair dispute resolution. From my experience, regulation exists primarily to protect clients from malpractice and to ensure brokers adhere to strict guidelines—without it, investors like myself are left with significantly fewer assurances. Having dealt with both regulated and unregulated brokers over the years, I find that working with those lacking regulation, like OSL, substantially increases my personal risk. There's simply no independent body to appeal to if problems arise, and no guarantee that my funds are kept in secure, separate accounts. While OSL has been operating for several years and provides various service options, these factors cannot, in my view, make up for the protections only credible regulation can offer. For me, safeguarding my capital is non-negotiable, so I approach platforms without proper regulation with extreme caution and would refrain from entrusting substantial funds to them.
