Not sure about unregulated, take this recent incident of paxforex. Their domain got banned and imagine the trauma their clients must've had to face. According to me, it is always best to go with regulated ones like Fxview or ICM or XM. They are trusted and safe.

I would suggest having both, do demo trading on both and then decide which one is better. But this will be only possible if you use demo accounts effectively.

Trading conditions are one thing, but what about security of funds? Don't you think regulated brokers are much better and safer option?

The difference between these brokers is really obvious - you, and everyone must choose for himself what is best for him.

The non-regulated brokers wouldn't surely incorporate standards in their practices which is risky for traders. I would suggest going with regulated brokers.

Disliked the idea of the offshore brokers, to be honest. There are so many unfinished business going on with them

i;ve been with regulated brokers (not if the first class) they are kidna good. just switched my accounts to saxo and oanda.
nothign beats them, they are more expensice based on comitions ans spread but dont care.

customers service, suppport, security, are top notch.
+ a ton of extra features that no one esle has.

I prefer trading with a regulated broker rather than an unregulated one because regulated brokers are much more reliable, and a government authority regulates it. Hence, traders feel that their invested capital safe.

Actually most new traders are introduced to forex trading by saying if you learn some indicators, you will make huge profit. Even there are more ridiculous introduction of trading, for example, If you price goes up sell if price goes down buy.

Unregulated brokers are an absolute no no. If anything goes bad, they do not take responsibility. Your money is only safe with a regulated broker.

Of course it is important to choose a regulated broker. However maybe you dun know that some countries are banned from some particular brokers. Therefore, you have to know which broker is suitable to you...

'Regulated brokers are reliable, and most traders prefer them because there are lower risks involved in them.

Unregulated brokers are mostly scammers; traders should avoid using such brokers to avoid losing money and invest in regulated brokers.'

Honestly, when it came to choosing a broker for myself in the past, i also contemplated a lot if i should go for a regulated or non regulated broker, tbh it depends on what you are looking for. I went with finprotrading, because of the high leverage and deposit bonus. Likewise people go with regulated ones for security. It just depends on which conditions you like to trade with. Simple.
