List of best regulated brokers

Hello Everyone!
When we try to search for brokers online, we can see a plethora of options available there and to choose the best one for ourselves becomes a little bit fussy.
To simplify this search, I have started this thread to have comprehensive insight regarding the best brokers that might help beginners.


NOTE
I am always open to opinions from you guys so that we can help one each other out.
Also, the spreads are based on EURUSD and GBPUSD, according to their websites + myfxbook spreads.
The information that I have listed is taken from their respective websites. In some cases, I wasn’t able to retrieve such, so please feel free to correct me.
I’ll add more brokers on the go. You can also suggest, talk about brokers here. As seems fit, I will add them to the list.

Without any further ado, here is an updated list of the regulated forex brokers that we can use.

Everyone is welcome to add the suggestion, so please feel free to share more details. Will try if I can edit and keep on adding new worthy brokers to the list.

@David's faith IBKR, solid one! Thanks for pointing out, will research and add.
 
Does it matter that they’re regulated these days
I’d say yes since not many of us are comfortable with risking our funds to brokers that are not being regulated. I mean, there are some restrictions with regulated one, but they hardly matter to me as long as the trading conditions (specially spreads, commissions and order execution) are good.
