Advantages and disadvantages

Every Broker has its pros and cons, let's have a look at the ones that elevate & denounce SGT Markets.

To sum up the SGT Markets Review

SGT Markets is an off-shore company which is not regulated in Europe or Australia. The company, unfortunately, does not state on its website what are the spread charges for specific currency pairs (as most brokers do). The number of tradable assets at SGT Markets is not overwhelming either, 90 (Not to mention there are no CFDs on shares, which some traders would definitely welcome). Taking all into account, there are companies with a stronger regulatory framework and offer as well.
