bonuses are just a trap to attract more traders. Be careful with the broker who provides that. Gone through a lot of scam stories.

Also note Cysec only works if you fall under the jurisdiction of Europe. I see the point in having a Cysec regulated broker but should also have in view the other authorities, take CFTC agency for US.

indeed the regulations are reliable. Cysec is one of them. But do make sure to check the firm on their website.

Cysec recently added Regtech to verify identities and was earlier coined by FCA.

I think that's good. Cysec is stepping up into their game to safeguard investors from scam.

that's one of the reasons I have always shown faith in certain regulatory bodies. Forex is surely a risky business but from our end we can still try and safeguard ourselves. Till date I keep hearing scam stories despite such binding laws, it's only up to us traders to stop using unregulated brokers.

I like to trade with offshore brokers for the number of benefits they offer in comparison to local brokers.

I think the cysec regulated brokers are reliable in terms of security of the funds.

I too think so. Although trading in itself in never risk-free but at least by using a highly regulated broker one can be a little bit certain on the safety part.

Yes. They are very reliable. You can research the regulated brokers from Cysec and use them in their trading.

It’s advised to go for CySEC regulated brokers. But that doesn’t mean only they are good brokers.

I will personally express my opinion that broker regulation is a purely speculative phenomenon. Namely, the method of making money with brokers. In essence, this means that the broker pays a lot of money to some authority that issues a certificate that the broker is regulated. Essentially, it doesn't change anything. Broker qualities are important in other aspects.

I don't know how true it is, but I believe a disgruntled trader can approach these financial authorities if a broker under it plays foul. If that's true, then there's a reason to have some faith in regulated brokers.

No doubt Cysec license is good but it doesn’t mean all cysec regulated brokers are good. You’ll need to test if their trading conditions fit your range. Plus, normally known brokers have multiple licenses, commonly in hand with FCA for UK or ASIC for Australia. My advice is to select some brokers of your choice, test with the list of your checklist and decide to proportionate the accounts with brokers. I’ve also diversified my funds with pepperstone, hfx, IG and fxview. Just give your efforts and you’ll be good to go.

I am looking for a platform that is easy to use and does not charge any hidden fees. Of course low coomissions would be a plus. Any recommendations from your list? TIA.

Yes. whatever is regulated will be safe most of the time. This is one benefit we get from regulation. Don’t you worry.

If you're around EU then fxview, if ASIC is your suit then pepperstone is good. For trading platforms they have metatrader like most of the forex brokers, so you can go either for mt4 or mt5 whatever you like, metatrader is quite easy to use.
