For traders seeking a wide range of financial instruments and a high level of SSL encrypted data security, ADSS is a good option. However, traders should be aware that ADSS's trading fees are higher than other similar brokers and trading is only offered on the MT4 trading platform. Additionally, negative balance protection is not provided, which means that traders can lose more than their initial deposit.  ADSS offers three live commission-free accounts with higher minimum deposits and higher ongoing costs than other similar brokers. The Classic Account has a minimum deposit requirement of [fxs-broker-property identifier="deposit"] [fxs-broker-property identifier="currency"] and offers spreads that start at [fxs-broker-property identifier="eur_usd_spread_smallest_account"] pips on the EUR/USD, which is wider than the spreads on other brokers' entry-level accounts. The Elite Account requires a hefty minimum deposit of 100,000 USD, but with spreads of 1.1 pips (EUR/USD), it does not deliver the trading costs that more experienced traders might expect for such a high minimum deposit.  Unlike other brokers who offer several trading platforms, ADSS only offers support for MT4, but it does allow hedging, scalping, and algorithmic trading. Finally, ADSS's educational and market analysis materials are relatively limited compared to other brokers, making it a poor choice for beginner traders.

ACY has a large number of instruments on the MT4 and MT5 platforms and a variety of low-cost trading accounts, but Zambian traders will be onboarded through ACY Securities’ VFSC-regulated entity, which means they will have little recourse in the event of a dispute with the broker. But ACY Securities' Australian entity is regulated by ASIC and it provides all traders with negative balance protection. ACY Securities’ commission-based accounts have spreads that start at 0 pips (EUR/USD) in exchange for commissions of between 5 and 6 USD, which is highly competitive. Experienced traders will also appreciate the wide range of instruments on offer, including 60+ Forex pairs and over 1600 share CFDs. Overall, if you can look past the lack of regulatory oversight, you will find a low-cost broker with a wide range of tradable assets, decent educational and market analysis materials, and a good selection of trading tools.

Founded in 2017, Zero Markets is a growing CFD broker that offers a low-cost trading environment on a wide range of tradable assets on the MT4 and MT5 platforms. However, Zero Markets clients in Zambia will be trading under its Saint Vincent and the Grenadines based entity, which provides little regulatory oversight and does not offer automatic negative balance protection. Zero Markets offers two live CFD accounts both with a minimum deposit requirement of only [fxs-broker-property identifier="deposit"] [fxs-broker-property identifier="currency"], making them accessible to most traders. Spreads start at [fxs-broker-property identifier="eur_usd_spread_smallest_account"] pips (EUR/USD) on its Standard account, which is average compared to other brokers, and no commissions are charged for Forex trading. Spreads tighten to 0 pips (EUR/USD) on its Super Zero Account in exchange for a commission of only 5 USD per lot traded. Zero Markets also stands out for the number of financial assets on offer, including over 800 share CFDs, 45 Forex pairs, commodities, indices, and a small range of cryptocurrencies. Some drawbacks for traders considering Zero Markets are that its educational and market analysis materials are sorely lacking, and it offers no trading tools to assist with technical and fundamental analysis. Overall, Zero Markets will appeal to traders who value a low-cost trading environment and a broad range of tradable assets.
