First and foremost, check the broker’s regulator. Make sure they are regulated by legitimate regulators from Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) (United Kingdom) or Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySec) (Cyprus). Obtaining licenses from these countries can increase the credibility and reliability of the broker as they have the strictest regulation terms among others. Authoritative regulators supervise and regulate brokers under its supervision to ensure their compliance with the laws governing their operations to prevent fraudulent effectively.
EXECUTION & TRADING PLATFORM
Timing is everything in forex trading. Broker who offers fast execution can level up your possibility in gaining and prevent you from missing the perfect timing to sell off your currencies.
The exact price of the currencies you want to sell and when you finally executed your order might vary thus if you are making a bigger trade, you might lose a significant amount of money.
But let’s not forget that fast execution speed means nothing when your broker does not have a good trading platform.

WITHDRAWALS
We are not going to lie but one of the most common problems that traders face is withdrawal issue. You can always read complaints about withdrawal difficulties online. Hence, to prevent you from falling into this miserable mess, always make sure the broker you choose has a good reputation on withdrawal efficiency. A good broker will always make their withdrawal process hassle-free because there is really no reason to hold your fund and make it hard for you to enjoy your profit.
LIQUIDITY PROVIDER
What does high liquidity in broker mean? It means they are resilient and partnering with various central banks around the globe that can ensure you to get the best price to trade and gain more. They act as the buyer and the seller of your currencies. Liquidity provider offers greater price stability and smaller risk to their traders.
SEGREGATED FUND
Another aspect that is crucial when you are picking the right broker is the segregated fund policy. Segregated fund policy means the broker does not own your fund when you are trading using their platform. Your funds are fully segregated from their own asset and distributed across world-renowned independent banks. Having a policy like this is like an extra bonus to trader because it ensures a safer way to secure their trading fund and giving them peace of mind.

The competence of the broker’s customer support team can easily show how much they care about their clients and how passionate they are in helping traders who faced technical issues in trading.
