Pros
- Same Seychelles FSA license, SD013, carried over from Gulf Brokers since 2016
- Uses the well known MetaTrader 5 platform for all trading
- Claims zero deposit and withdrawal fees on trading accounts
- Reports an average annual traded volume above $6 billion over five years
Cons
- Rebranded from Gulf Brokers to Octrado, which can confuse existing clients
- Only regulated offshore in Seychelles, not by any UAE or EU authority
- Bonus program up to 200 percent likely carries volume conditions before withdrawal
- Does not serve EU residents or a long list of other restricted countries
Gulf Brokers Ltd, active since 2016, is now Octrado. The gulfbrokers.com domain forwards to octrado.com, and Octrado Ltd keeps the same Seychelles FSA license, SD013, and the same company number. The rename followed a wider 2026 split, when offshore firms that once shared the Octa brand launched separate identities.
Octrado trades only on MT5, with tiered account levels and a bonus program its site advertises up to 200 percent. It claims zero deposit and withdrawal fees, and an average yearly traded volume above $6 billion over the last five years. It is based in Mahe, Seychelles, with no onshore UAE or European license despite the old Gulf Brokers name.
If you had a Gulf Brokers account, Octrado is the real current operator, same license, same regulator. It does not serve EU residents or a long list of other countries, and Seychelles offshore rules give far less protection than the FCA or ASIC. A bonus this large often comes with volume conditions, so read the terms first.
