    Frequently Asked Questions

    Scope Markets Kenya operates under a license from the Capital Markets Authority of Kenya through a locally registered entity. You can confirm the authorization on the regulator's public register and on the broker's legal documents. Regulation sets conduct, disclosure, and capital rules, but it does not remove market risk. Before you open an account, review the complaints process, client money arrangements, and terms. This content is for general information only and not financial, legal, or investment advice.

    With Scope Markets Kenya, you can trade contracts for difference on major and minor currency pairs and a selection of commodities, equity indices, and shares, subject to account approval and local rules. Availability varies by platform and account setup. You should check the full instrument list, trading sessions, and specifications in the platform before you place orders. Leveraged derivatives amplify both gains and losses, so make sure you understand margin, stop outs, and overnight financing. This is general information, not advice.

    You can access a web platform plus widely used third-party desktop and mobile platforms. Core features include live pricing, charts with multiple indicators, one-click or standard order entry, pending orders, and risk controls such as stop and limit orders. You also get account statements, trade history, and basic alerts. Platform choice can affect costs, order types, and available instruments. Check system requirements and platform terms before you install or log in. This information is general and not advice.

Keep your profile up to date and submit clear documents to avoid delays. This is general information, not advice.

    You may incur trading costs such as spreads, commissions on some account types, and overnight financing on positions held past the trading day.
