Yes, they are mixed! I think, it’s not easy job for the new traders to select a right broker; since market maker brokers are very sticky. But, in this case popular Forex forum & review sites can be helpful.

In Fx trading we the traders who are particularly beginners have to choose our brokers in cool mind , please don’t choose a broker in an emotional state , because the broker can affects the result of our trading with certainly .

Personally I don’t trust any broker, because when I was a novice trader then I tried with multiple trading robots with high cost! But the results were horrible! I lost my trading capital for 3 times in a row! This is way, now I trade manually based on current fundamental data!

A lot of 'reviews' like that are paid for or are affiliates driving sales. Best to look on myfxbook for good brokers and then do your own research into them

UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is looking into forcing the straight-through processing (STP) forex brokers to upgrade their licenses to those for full market makers.( https://www.forexbrokerz.com/news/FCA-to-change-license-requirements-for-STP-forex-brokers%E2%80%93media)
FCA has apparently sent a letter to a number of its charges to inform them of prospective changes to the regulatory environment. According to the document, the watchdog is planning to force the STP brokers to upgrade their licenses in order to ensure better negative balance protection from losses of their clients in case of extreme market volatility.
The main changes would be in regard to the capital requirements for the brokers and they would most likely be raised in order to be able to cover a large negative balance.

I can’t ignore this issue (paid reviews) but popular sites like FPA , myfxbook are reliable to know more about the brokers activities.

The company provides an address in the UK, but the company is actually registered offshore, in Vanuatu. Apparently there have been numerous complaints against them for scams.

Actually problem practically for the newcomers. Generally we always rate the top financial and reputed brokers but their trading requirements is not suitable at all for beginners level. that’s why they failed to survive in here and choose others.

Belize’s financial services regulator, the International Financial Services Commission (IFSC) has warned that the forex broker FX Broker Pro is not licensed, nor regulated by it. (https://www.forexbrokerz.com/news/Belize%E2%80%99s-IFSC-alerts-that-FX-Broker-Pro-is-not-licensed)
 According to the commission, FX Broker Pro is showing a fraudulent IFSC license number, and may operate in breach of the IFSC act and other laws of Belize. The commission further warns that those who invest with FX Broker Pro and other unregulated brokers, do so at their own risk.

Good point; but I see new traders are interested in big bonus and leverage! As a result, most of the time they start with a market maker.
