What this means

Across a hundred brokers, the licence is what separates the field fastest.

ADS Securities lists its regulation as UAE Capital Market Authority (CMA), Category 1 No. 305027; Category 5 No. 20200000217.

Client money is held separately from the firm's own money, at Regulated banking institutions. That separation is what makes your balance recoverable if the company fails, rather than part of the pool its creditors divide up.

There is no negative balance protection. In a fast market a position can gap straight through your stop, and without this the resulting debt is legally yours - you can lose more than you deposited.

Covered by No statutory investor compensation scheme, which pays eligible clients up to its limit if the firm fails owing client money.
