To further enhance the sense of participation and belonging among members of the Elite Club in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and to raise awareness regarding the safety and compliance of forex trading in the regional market, WikiFX successfully held the themed content series “Elites View in Arab Region” from November 28 to December 28, 2025. The theme was “The First Line of Defense for Forex Safety: Education First, Jointly Promoting Healthy Forex Development.”
This event closely aligned with a core issue of high concern in the Egyptian and broader Middle Eastern markets—the critical role of forex education in enhancing local forex safety. Starting from the ideal state and long-term healthy development of the forex market, the event invited multiple regional elites from trading, education, compliance, and financial management fields. They contributed high-quality perspectives focusing on forex safety, risk management, and investor protection, further strengthening WikiFXs brand authority and industry influence in the Middle East.
Focusing on Core Forex Safety Issues, Addressing Real Concerns of Regional Investors
Throughout the one-month event, guest insights were highly focused on the safety challenges commonly faced by investors in the Middle East, including:
- How to distinguish compliant trading platforms from fraudulent or weakly regulated ones
- How to identify forex scams and marketing traps
- Foundational understanding of leverage, position sizing, and risk management
- Information filtering capabilities in the context of social media and public opinion environments
- The establishment of awareness regarding forex industry-related policies, regulation, and compliance
Multiple guests unanimously pointed out that misleading perceptions of “getting rich quick,” neglect of regulatory licenses, and blind trust in social media recommendations are among the most prominent safety hazards in forex trading within the MENA region currently. Furthermore, losses caused by psychological loss of control often far exceed those resulting from strategy errors themselves.
Elite Consensus: Education is the First Line of Defense for Forex Safety
Guests from diverse backgrounds provided in-depth interpretations of the safety formula “Education + Trading + Risk Management” from their respective professional viewpoints.
- Belall, Professional Trader & Educator, noted that forex safety depends not only on knowledge and rules but more crucially on the stability and discipline of trading psychology; education is the map, risk control is the brake, but psychology is the driver.
- Mahmoud Aboelmmaty, Business Coach & Investor, believes trading is not a game of chance but a game of risk management. Without knowledge and discipline, even favorable market conditions can turn into a disaster.
- Nader Hany, Financial Markets Expert, holds that education allows traders to understand the market, risk management protects capital, and discipline determines long-term survival. Missing any one element allows amplified risk to overwhelm safety.
- Amr Abdallah, Trading Manager, pointed out that education is not a cost but an investment in safety. More comprehensive education leads to greater market transparency and fewer instances of fraud and random losses.
- Ahmed Hassan, Professional Trader, believes a healthy forex market begins with informed traders. Putting education first is key to reducing misinformation and building a long-term, sustainable trading environment.
- Mohamed Lewaa, Head of Technical Analysis at Halan Securities, stated that educated traders verify the platform before discussing trades. Transparent regulation and continuous learning are crucial for reducing scams and irrational losses.
- Fatma Fawzy, Trading Coach, identified blind trust in advertisements and “success stories” as one of the most common safety misconceptions among Middle Eastern traders. True protection comes from information filtering skills and emotional self-discipline.
- Mohamed Talaat, Founder of MT ACADEMY, argued that systematic, continuously updated forex education can significantly reduce industry risks, enabling traders to make more rational decisions and thereby driving the entire market towards maturity.
WikiFX – The “Pre-Risk Filter”
“Spending 10 minutes checking before depositing is more important than seeking recourse afterwards” – In discussions among multiple guests, WikiFX was frequently mentioned as a vital auxiliary tool for forex education and market transparency.
- Menna Mahmoud, Forex Trading Expert, emphasized that systematic education is not a luxury but the first line of defense for protecting capital. Transparent information tools can significantly reduce the risks of scams and irrational trading.
- Mohamed Saleh, Founder of Exlead, pointed out from a practical perspective that “Trading + Education + Risk Control” alone is insufficient; selecting trustworthy platforms and robust external protection mechanisms are equally indispensable.
Many event guests believe that as trading behaviors become increasingly complex and information sources grow more chaotic, what investors truly need is a “pre-transaction safety mechanism” capable of performing risk screening and information verification before depositing funds. Third-party information platforms like WikiFX are increasingly playing the role of a “pre-risk filter” in the forex market. Its core value is primarily reflected in four aspects:
First, it significantly reduces information asymmetry.
By centrally displaying brokers regulatory license status, compliance records, user complaints and genuine feedback, and risk warnings, it helps traders establish clear risk awareness before depositing.
Second, it provides verifiable, de-marketed information for reference.
Guests generally agreed that WikiFX transforms originally complex and scattered regulatory and compliance information into structured content understandable by average traders, effectively reducing investors reliance on advertisements and personal recommendations.
Third, it forms a long-term deterrent mechanism against dubious platforms.
By continuously publicly archiving complaint and risk records, it increases the cost of violations, incentivizing the trading environment to develop towards greater transparency and standardization from an industry level.
Fourth, it strengthens investor education and risk awareness.
The “check first, trade later” principle advocated by the platform is helping a large number of novice traders establish fundamental safe trading habits, reducing the risk of scams and irrational trading at the source.
Synthesizing the views of multiple guests, the existence of third-party information platforms like WikiFX is increasingly seen as a significant force driving the transformation of the forex market from being “speculation and marketing-driven” to being “professionalism and transparency-driven.”
Building a Safer, More Mature Middle Eastern Forex Ecosystem
“Elites View in Arab Region” was not merely a content dissemination event but a regional consensus-building initiative centered on forex education, industry responsibility, and investor protection.
Through the continuous output of elite perspectives and community interaction, WikiFX aims to collaborate with traders, educators, and industry institutions within the region to promote:
- Higher levels of forex education dissemination
- Stronger risk awareness and self-protection capabilities
- A more transparent, fair, and sustainable forex market environment
In the future, WikiFX will continue to focus on education as the core and transparency as the foundation. We will join hands with more regional elites and industry participants to launch more exciting online and offline activities, contributing to the healthy development of the forex industry in the Middle East and globally!
