Who are the best forex brokers in Hong Kong in October 2026?

Methodology (this batch)

BrokerMafia's October 2026 shortlists are editorial discovery tables ordered by public-fact criteria: regulatory tier (published register IDs), entity transparency, longevity or citable public scale, and product/authority clarity. BrokerMafia keyword-page presence is a tie-break only. We refuse paid rank, star scores, and copied review prose. Order can change when registers or public disclosures change — this batch is dated October 2026.

Scope: SFC-licensed corporations with Type 3 (leveraged foreign exchange trading) active on the public register snapshot dated 2026-09-30. Order weights licence breadth and public-group transparency — not spreads. Framework: /best-forex-brokers-hong-kong/.

Regulatory tier — published tier-1 register IDs where we can cite them.
Entity transparency — can a reader match agreement → register row?
Longevity / public scale — years, listing, or citable industry revenue lists.
Product / authority clarity — FX entity vs exchange vs FMCSA broker vs DOI producer.
BrokerMafia research presence — tie-break only.

Marketing claims (spreads, bonuses, pass rates, “best broker awards”) are labeled and never used as primary rank keys.

Questions this page answers

What is a CE number?

The SFC central entity number on the public register of licensed corporations, for example ADI249.

Why is Saxo HK missing?

CE AVD061 (Saxo Capital Markets HK Limited) showed no active regulated activities on the 2026-09-30 register read. We do not rank an inactive row.

Is Type 3 the same as an offshore CFD account?

No. Type 3 is an SFC regulated activity. An offshore sister brand is a different legal regime.
