For new trader, finding a regulated broker is VERY important.

I saw so much scam in the market. Mt4 is relatively cheap to set up. Just buy up the license from Metaquote and you can start your server.

So, always look into some big licenses to choose your broker such as FCA(UK), ASIC(AUS), CySEC. I have been working to differentiate which is which for years...
This is my only reminder to you all. Spread is very minimal to your profit if you are doing mid-long term trading.
Stability is king

Good information. You have to invest in trading depending on the broker. Profit is to be made by combining broker and knowledge. That is why regulated brokers are needed to keep this fund safe.

It is better to choose a licensed broker in trading. There is less chance of getting cheated.

With regulated brokers you get restricted with the leverage, and beginners do not have much capital initially so they need high leverage.

For any trader, a good regulated broker is important. You can not put your money into an unregulated broker. Your money can be frozen by without any problems.

@Akasuki Yes you are right. For online Forex trading, a regulated broker is very important. We can't trust unregulated broker where money is involved. It's better to stay safe.

The most critical requirement for a successful trading career is trading with a regulated broker.

It's important to identify brokers who are reliable and viable and to avoid the ones that are not.

You must have an idea about the regulation of the broker if you want to trade. It is risky to trade in that broker without a license.

We all know that broker serves as an intermediary in Forex. Broker’s security is highly important for you if your trading capital is significantly large.

As someone who has done a ton of research and comparison for different brokers, I have to say that regulation doesn't always equal safety like most believe. If you look into what happened with Veracity (just for one example), you see that the clients got burned and most felt like they were secure because of the regulators. Reviews from real people is always what makes me feel more secure. Also, offshore brokers can be cheaper and usually have much more flexible leverage!

At the moment quite popular offshore brokers.

In Forex I prefer long-term trading which refers to the complete professionalism but traders are mostly allergic to this type of trading as it takes much time and the return from it is quite uncertain.

A regulated broker allows traders with numerous trading advantages that ultimately increase traders’ return. There are several brokers on the market so you should select one of those with a very caution.

It is crucial to trade with a regulated broker to be protected on all fronts. So when it comes to broker, I use aaafx since they are regulated and has some of tightest spreads that I'd like to see in broker.

I have been looking at a broker in my region(asia), is it sometimes better to go for a same timezone brokerage so that they can offer support and assistance when needed?
