FXGT
If you're looking to connect FXGT's execution to TradingView's charting, the integration is not a dedicated native link. You'll access TradingView for charting, but execute trades on FXGT's MT4, MT5, or proprietary WebTrader platforms.
This is a common setup for traders who prefer TradingView's interface for analysis while relying on the broker's platform for execution and order management. It means you don't get single-click execution directly from a TradingView chart.
What the Integration Actually Means
FXGT's offering is straightforward: you use TradingView for market analysis and FXGT's separate platforms for placing trades. It's two windows open, not a single unified interface.
You do your technical analysis, identify a setup, and then manually execute in MT4 or MT5. The extra step introduces latency during fast moves, but fills are typically instant for market orders.
Account Options
FXGT offers six account types for UAE clients:
| Account Type | Spreads | Commission | Min Deposit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | ~0.8–1.5 pips | None | ~USD 5–50 |
| Standard+ | ~0.8–1.5 pips | None | ~USD 5–50 |
| Micro/Cent | ~0.8–1.5 pips | None | ~USD 5–50 |
| Pro | ~0.8–1.5 pips | None | ~USD 5–50 |
| ECN Zero | From 0.0 pips | ~USD 3 per side | ~USD 5–50 |
| Optimus | ~0.8–1.5 pips | None | ~USD 5–50 |
All accounts except ECN Zero are commission-free. Some account types are MT5-only; verify platform availability when choosing.
Leverage and Regulation
FXGT operates under GT Global Ltd, which holds a Seychelles FSA Securities Dealer Licence No. SD019. There is no UAE SCA or DFSA licence. UAE clients are onboarded offshore under this Seychelles entity, meaning no local investor-protection scheme covers your account.
Leverage reaches up to 1:5000 on the Optimus account and is not capped by a UAE regulator. For comparison, the SCA/CMA caps leverage at ~1:50 on major FX pairs, ~1:20 on minors/exotics, ~1:10 on commodities, and ~1:3 on stocks. The DFSA applies ~1:30 aligned with EU standards.
Offshore Status and Risk
Offshore regulation is the primary trade-off. Your funds are not covered by UAE investor-protection schemes, unlike accounts held at DFSA or SCA/CMA-regulated brokers.
Trading Tools and Market Access
FXGT provides MT4, MT5, and a proprietary WebTrader/app. Execution is reliable under normal market conditions, and the range of instruments is broad: 50+ FX pairs, 30+ crypto CFDs, synthetic crypto pairs (e.g. BTC vs Gold/S&P 500), 50+ US share CFDs, 10+ indices, metals, and energy CFDs.
TradingView covers all these instruments, so you can build an analysis workflow alongside FXGT's execution platforms.
Tax rules for UAE traders
Individual trading profits in the UAE are subject to 0% personal income tax and 0% capital gains tax. This applies to forex, stocks, crypto, and derivatives. There is no personal-income filing duty for individual retail traders.
Corporate tax of 9% applies to business profits above AED 375,000 (since June 2023). A Qualifying Free Zone Person in DIFC, ADGM, or DMCC can qualify for 0% on qualifying income. Traders operating as a company should confirm their status with the Federal Tax Authority (tax.gov.ae).
Funding and Base Currencies
FXGT accounts settle in USD, EUR, or JPY. There is no AED-denominated account, so AED funding is converted to your chosen settlement currency.
Deposit methods include cards, bank wire, Neteller, Skrill/STICPAY, Binance Pay/BitWallet, and crypto. Specific AED payment rails are not verified at review. Minimum deposits are typically USD 5–50 depending on method, with no broker-side deposit fees.
Card and e-wallet deposits are instant; bank transfers take ~1–2 business days.
Swap-free trading terms
FXGT offers swap-free Islamic accounts on request. Most assets have up to ~2 days swap-free treatment.
Promotions
FXGT runs deposit bonuses including welcome and loyalty offers. Availability varies by jurisdiction.
Regulatory Context in the UAE
The UAE has three financial regulators:
Any firm offering forex, CFD, or investment services to the UAE public must hold a local licence from one of these bodies. Verify any broker on the DFSA public register (dfsa.ae) or the SCA/CMA licensed-companies register (uaecma.gov.ae or sca.gov.ae open-data).
The SCA/CMA publishes a Violations and Warnings page (sca.gov.ae). As of 2025–2026, regulators warn of firms impersonating well-known exchanges and using cold calls, WhatsApp, and social-media promotions.
