1) Type Market maker or True ECN? 2) Client money protection if it goes belly up
 
What about ECN or Market Maker? public should be made aware the pitfalls of MM model

Also ASIC regulated is good but at the end of the day if an ASIC regulated OTC broker goes belly up the Client become another creditor .. I doubt if any ASIC regulated brokers mentions that...
Sure there are strist rules etc but there is no FCA UK type protection!


Please "enlighten" us what the FCA UK type protection is. I recall a "certain" company called MF Global which did undergo a SHITTY ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS in the UK until all "protected customer funds" were paid out. Took the admin only 4 or was it 6 years to get their SHIT done.

So, please (with some cream on top) - don´t spread the "UK FCA SPECIAL PROTECTION" treatment crap!

SO what other crap would you be happy with? NO PROTECTION AT ALL
by the way MFF was a futures FCM not stock broker so even in USA SIPC only protects direct stock holdings not Futures industry
Yes such insurance schemes when tested might not be effective but better than nothing
FCA is better than ASIC

all regulators are not effective but should we not push for better regulations rather than dilution?
 
A broker’s regulation is high essential be check because an insecure broker will never be a safer option for you even if it offers you wide range of trading facilities.
 
For intraday trading, the most important things for me are small spreads, instant execution, quality of trading platforms and fast withdrawal of profits.
