Description
The basic criteria to use in choosing a broker are few and simple. Without doubt, your number one priority should be ensuring the safety of your funds. Firstly, this means making sure that the broker you choose will not steal your deposit. You can best take care of this by making sure that you only use a broker based in and regulated by a financial authority in a respected financial center. Secondly, you need to make sure that even if the broker operates honestly, but goes bankrupt for any reason, that you will be able to recover your deposit. One measure that can be taken here is to only deposit with brokers whose regulators offer deposit protection for clients (such as regulated brokers in the U.K. or Australia, for example). This means that even if your broker goes broke, the government will bail you out by paying back your funds up to a certain amount, although it might take some time.
