Is SesTrading legit?
Who is behind SesTrading
SesTrading was founded by Saad Nizar El Soussi (known online as SesTheGreat), a Danish entrepreneur based in Dubai. He publishes under his own name and face on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.
The UAE authorization
The UAE Capital Market Authority keeps a public list of authorized finfluencers. Saad Nizar El Soussi is entry 193, added on 24 September 2026, with his Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube accounts. Anyone can check it.
The UK FCA warning
The UK Financial Conduct Authority lists "SES TRADING / @Sesthegreat" as a firm that is not authorised in the UK. That is accurate: SesTrading has no UK authorisation. For that reason SesTrading does not offer its services to people living in the United Kingdom, and UK residents cannot join the waiting list or open an account through us.
Where client money is held
- Clients open trading accounts in their own name at a broker. SesTrading never receives, holds or moves client deposits.
- Withdrawals go from the broker to the client, not through us.
- Some community members use Xlence (Tradeco Limited), licensed by the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (SD029).
- Xlence is an offshore-licensed broker. That means less investor protection than brokers licensed in the UK, EU or Australia. Check any broker on its regulator's website before you deposit.
How SesTrading is paid
The community and daily ideas are free. SesTrading earns a referral commission from partner brokers when someone opens an account through our links. This costs the client nothing extra, but it is a reason to judge every recommendation on its own merits, including ours.
What we will never do
- Ask you to send money to a person, a wallet or a SesTrading account.
- Promise a guaranteed or fixed return.
- Ask for your broker password by chat.
Which one fits you?
Pick by the amount you want to start with. Both are run by the same team.
