Lots of work and need a liquidity provider to get you started, then regulation, dealing with customers, etc.. seems like a lot of hassle. Though having said that it’s always possible as anything is :)

Well there a lot more these days , there is a forex insurance as well now a days I hope you enjoy that.

yes ;because there is a lot of services and information all brokers dont provide.also trust levels with brokers are low and they are all faceless corporations more or less to some degree.if they take you money they should be totally honest and transparent.there is always room for excellent forex brokers who are different and understand clients.

The best would be to create a new kind of broker. A broker designed by retail traders for retail traders.
It means that it could be supported by community traders really involved into it.
We would be our own support. No stupid questions, only designed for experienced traders.
The idea would be that the cost to run such enterprise would be really low as it is created for ourselves only. So the idea would be to trade like banking conditions, => No spreads, no commissions!
I would prefer to pay one time 100€ to join the community and then trade with zero spread. (Trade 20 trades from 1 Lot and you are refunded).
Let's imagine 10 000 traders experienced worldwilde traders wants to join and don't ask silly questions to the support team. All we want is open 1 account and trade it.
That's already $1M to run broker. Cost for website/interface/community, connect to liquidy provider, Open firms,... +++
Think different into very competitive markets as the business model for broker is join me, I will grab your money!

There is a solution available for those medium - large IBs you can start a broker with none of those set up costs as mentioned in this thread, and can be set quickly and efficiently .
Furthermore, you do not need any qualifications, qualified directors, licence, capital input or any of the usual complications.
It's a solid and pioneering solution...
