Abstract:The majority of forex traders and/or investors may have a trading account with a broker overseas. How much do you know your broker? One could argue that "I have used this broker for XX amount of time and it's fine", but is that reason enough to justify the credibility of your broker?
In this day and age, although we could obtain nearly every piece of information that is needed from the Internet, there is also a big challenge in verifying the accuracy of such information. In the worst-case scenario, has it ever occurred to you that your broker could be non-existent?
If you have never thought about these issues, maybe now is the time to start pondering on them. You could be shocked to find out that many brokers do not have an office at the address at which they claim to be located. Would you be able to entrust your hard-earned trading capital with a company like this regardless of how many licenses it holds or how lucrative its promotional deals are?
