Why broker choice matters المزيد than strategy
Even a profitable strategy gets eaten by hidden costs: مرتفع spreads, requotes, slow withdrawals, or worst — frozen funds at an unregulated broker.
The 8-point قائمة تحقق
- Regulation — FCA, ASIC, CySEC, FSA Seychelles, DFSA. المستوى-1 ≠ المستوى-3.
- Client fund segregation — your money in a separate حساب, not the broker's operating حساب.
- Execution model — STP/ECN مفضل over market-maker for active trading.
- Spreads + commissions — calculate the all-in cost per lot, not just headline spread.
- Withdrawal speed — under 24h to wallet/bank is the baseline.
- Leverage cap — 1:500 or higher available for offshore entities.
- المنصة الدعم — MT4/MT5/cTrader/proprietary, plus mobile app quality.
- Customer الدعم — live chat with humans, response time, language coverage.
