From my own experience as an independent trader, I always approach account types with a critical eye, especially when considering a broker like Mahfaza. They offer three account types: Mahfaza Account, Trader Account, and Pro Account. The most noticeable differentiator among them is the spread scheme. The Mahfaza Account starts with spreads from 1.5 pips, the Trader Account from 0.8 pips, while the Pro Account offers the tightest spreads, starting at 0.5 pips. None of these accounts appear to charge any commissions, which initially might sound appealing but often means costs are built into the spread. For me, clarity on leverage, deposit requirements, and withdrawal processes is crucial, yet Mahfaza’s accounts remain vague on these operational details. This leaves significant gaps in transparency—something I consider a major risk factor. Another point worth noting is all accounts can access the MT5 platform, which is industry-standard and versatile, but platform quality alone can’t offset regulatory concerns. Given that Mahfaza operates without any valid regulatory oversight, I would not base a decision solely on account specifications or competitive spreads. Without robust regulatory protection and clear terms, even the Pro Account’s tighter spreads do not outweigh the inherent risks. In my view, careful due diligence and clear understanding of all trading conditions are paramount before considering any of Mahfaza’s account types for live trading.
