Regulation & Security

GCI Financial states that it is incorporated in Saint Lucia under registration number 2023-00048 and excludes services to certain jurisdictions. Oversight by listed regulators appears absent and independent research identifies its regulation as limited or non-existent, meaning client fund protections typical of major regulated brokers may not be in place.

Account and Setup

Account opening is conducted online with client identity verification required. The website indicates availability of live and demo trading accounts and mentions account tiers such as Standard, Prime and Edge with varying conditions. It specifies that the Edge account uses MT5 and offers spreads from 0.8 pips for some instruments.

Funding Options

Funding methods advertised include bank transfer and card payments. Detailed listing of e-wallets, cryptocurrencies, fees or withdrawal cut-off times are not clearly published in the primary documentation.

Bot & API Compatibility

The broker supports the MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms, enabling the use of Expert Advisors (EAs) in those environments. There is no public detailed API documentation or dedicated automated-trading infrastructure disclosed, so algorithmic traders should validate execution latency and connectivity before deployment.

Trading Conditions& Restrictions

Trading conditions include access to over a thousand instruments across asset classes, with leverage up to 1 : 1000 on certain account types and spreads from as little as 0.8 pips on the Edge account via MT5. The broker does not publish clear order routing policies, liquidity provider details or comprehensive execution quality metrics, so traders utilising EAs should test live market conditions for slippage, spread variability and consistency.
