RoboForex South Africa — quick verdict

RoboForex has operated since 2009 and accepts clients from South Africa. Entry is low — $10 on the ProCent, Pro, ECN and Prime accounts — and ECN and Prime quote from 0.0 pips with a commission per lot, while ProCent and Pro quote from 1.3 pips with none. The 12,000+ instrument figure belongs to the broker's own R StocksTrader platform rather than to the MetaTrader accounts. The trade-off is regulatory: RoboForex Ltd is licensed in Belize, holds no South African licence and offers no state-backed compensation scheme — the only recourse layer is The Financial Commission, which covers up to EUR 20,000 per case.
