I just want to trade pairs and indicies, a broker with low spreads/comissions and a user friendly site/platform. When i research this all i see is people trying to push broker x or y for their gain, getting a comission or paid advertising.
I'm in the EU, not sure if that makes a difference.
i was just casually browsing their website
Personally, I've used IC Markets since I started trading and have had no issues with them. Will they be suitable for you? Only you will be able to decide that after investigating them.Forexlearner wrote: Mon Jul 03, 2023 8:40 pm I was on XTB but a security issue made me close that acc, so now i have no broker.

I don't think this should have happened with just casual browsing, are you sure you've not got a third party app on your computer repeatedly pinging the site while you were browsing?Forexlearner wrote: Mon Jul 03, 2023 9:07 pm i was just casually browsing their website

yes this is dead right, the importance bit is choosing which level is better for you, some people want maximum safety and are willing to jump through any of the requirement hoops to get it eg, a lot of the EU and London brokers now are demanding years worth of bank records showing a hefty account balance surplus just for a normal retail account with very low leverage.RplusT wrote: Mon Jul 03, 2023 10:49 pm Is regulations really the most important issue? And poise offshore accounts a high risk?
In the light of the fact that even our regular banks pose a high risk - you go to the bank tomorrow morning and find either the doors closed and/or your bank accounts frozen - it looks like nowadays our money might be even safer in offshore accounts.....
I know my broker. As I'm not Australian I can't trade with them in Australia any longer (government changed the law), so they moved me to an offshore account. They are not a newcomer and thus it doesn't really cause sleepless nights that I got a 5000 K account with them. I have earned that money already several times and zero tax makes huge savings too. Thus my worries are not really significant.
Of course that does not mean that there are not plenty of black sheep out there. Which again means, you got to know the broker in and out before you commit a serious amount as a trading fund.
