I often see the traders recommending Cysec regulated firms and brokers. Does that actually help in case of insolvency with brokers.

Best thing about regulations - the safety net! Feel relieved that I have somewhere to approach if need be. I never ever take a chance with my investments, going to any hillbilly broker. Stick to CySec regulated brokers as I know they can be approached if you feel wronged. However it’s best to contact the broker first - protocol!

I second your opinion, there’s a degree of control with the trader. But I guess the topic itself is overstated. Haven’t faced any issues since last 2 years with my brokers (IG, XTB) who are regulated by Cysec.

Yes, Cysec reagulated brokers are more reliable if we look at the side of fund security

Yes, off course without a doubt CySec regulated brokers are the best choice. When any broker is under the surveillance of regulation, the interest of the trader is automatically protected. Your funds are secured, no trade manipulation is possible and you get a superior power to take your complaints if the broker does something against your will.
The more your practice, the more you learn.

I don’t feel Fxview can be compared to established brand like IG

Yeah, that is, thanks for including. IG is heavy on their offerings too - be it forex, indices, shares, commodities, cryptocurrencies, bonds, ETFs, options. It has a noticeable global footprint which is another plus. Speeds are lightning for paypal transactions too.

likewise, cysec even limits the leverage and capital requirements. Any broker failing to meet these, would receive fine notifications at their premises and in worst cases, license can be suspended.

Cysec regulation is indeed reliable when it comes to your funds. The ICF is an extra layer of protection. You can approach the regulation if you feel the need of it.

indeed the regulations are reliable. Cysec is one of them. But do make sure to check the firm on their website.

I like to trade with offshore brokers for the number of benefits they offer in comparison to local brokers.

I too think so. Although trading in itself in never risk-free but at least by using a highly regulated broker one can be a little bit certain on the safety part.

Yes. They are very reliable. You can research the regulated brokers from Cysec and use them in their trading.

It’s advised to go for CySEC regulated brokers. But that doesn’t mean only they are good brokers.

I will personally express my opinion that broker regulation is a purely speculative phenomenon. Namely, the method of making money with brokers. In essence, this means that the broker pays a lot of money to some authority that issues a certificate that the broker is regulated. Essentially, it doesn't change anything. Broker qualities are important in other aspects.

I don't know how true it is, but I believe a disgruntled trader can approach these financial authorities if a broker under it plays foul. If that's true, then there's a reason to have some faith in regulated brokers.

No doubt Cysec license is good but it doesn’t mean all cysec regulated brokers are good. You’ll need to test if their trading conditions fit your range. Plus, normally known brokers have multiple licenses, commonly in hand with FCA for UK or ASIC for Australia. My advice is to select some brokers of your choice, test with the list of your checklist and decide to proportionate the accounts with brokers. I’ve also diversified my funds with pepperstone, hfx, IG and fxview. Just give your efforts and you’ll be good to go.
