A starter just about to test the waters of forex trading. Having a broker might ease a couple of things for me but I am concerned about the safety. What I need to check before picking anyone?

Regulations, very important !

Looking for a broker in Europe! What regulations should one check in a european broker, there seems to be too many.

In short you have to look for the broker which is being regulated by local authorities like FINMA in Switzerland, FSA in Denmark, AMF in France, CNWV in Spain,FMA in Austria, MFSA in Malta, CySEC in Cyprus etc. Similarly if a broker needs to undertake financial services in the UK, it has to be authorized by FCA.

Always go with a broker that gives you the option of a free demo account. This will not only give you exposure to the forex market (if you are starting anew) but will make you familiar with the broker and its platform.

How would it help?

I believe, the more you engage on the platform of the broker the more you understand them. Generally their interface and the customer support services tell you a lot about the brokers.
A reputable country with a good regulatory body.
You need to make sure your money transaction is safe with the broker. Your broker should have detailed information about the security parameters they follow. You should check online at their site before investing your money.
For me it is the withdrawal process, generally it is quite an underrated factor and overlooked by new traders. Seasoned traders will know how some brokers take quite long to process withdrawal and resort to unfair trade practices.

If you are looking for a broker in Europe, I would suggest going for a broker regulated by European authorities.

You need to check the licence and registration of your broker.

Forex broker license in Europe is unique in relation to other global countries. I say this because the broker with the license can serve any member country. CySec, the regulatory body of Cyprus, is one of the most recognized regulators in Europe.
For a client the security of money deposited is the utmost important thing. Many brokers have a separate account for the client’s deposit money. Do carefully read about your broker before opting them. In this case even if the broker goes broke your money is safely deposited in a different account.

There is a limit for the protection amount.

It’s crazy how some brokers take only 2 or 3 days to process withdrawals while some can take a whole week. Better obviously to use ones that are speedier in this regard, fxview and XTB imo are fast when it comes to withdrawals.

This is the first thing that every professional is recommending me, are there specific regulations for Europe I need to keep in mind?

The biggest ones are ESMA in Europe. Cysec is regulated under ESMA as far as I know.
But you always need to make sure that the broker who's offering accounts under EU-regulation also must give you a proper account then. The broker is not allowed to give you an account with T&C's out of Europe. A lot of offshore and ASIC brokers are known for giving accounts that are not regulated in Europe, although on their pages it is said they also have a Cysec license. How do you know that? Just have a look on the registration-link; it usually contains something like '.eu', 'com/eu', '.eu.xyz.com'.
patience is the key
