Not all "regulated" بروکرها are equal. The badge in a broker's footer can mean dramatically different things depending on which regulator licensed the entity.
سطح-1 regulators (highest standards)
- FCA (UK) — strict capital requirements, segregation, FSCS compensation up to £85k.
- ASIC (Australia) — strict, with ongoing reforms.
- NFA / CFTC (US) — extremely strict; many global بروکرها do not serve US retail.
- BaFin (Germany), FINMA (Switzerland), JFSA (Japan) — بالا standards.
سطح-2 regulators
- CySEC (Cyprus) — EU passport regulator, decent investor protection.
- FSCA (South Africa), DFSA (DIFC), SCA (UAE), FSRA (ADGM) — meaningful regulation.
Offshore regulators
- FSC (Belize, BVI, Mauritius), FSA (Seychelles), FSC (Cayman), SCB (Bahamas) — lighter regulation, lower standards, often used for higher leverage.
Why entity matters
Same broker brand often operates several entities. The same trader may be onboarded under FCA, CySEC, or an offshore entity depending on country. Leverage caps, negative-balance protection, and dispute resolution differ enormously.
What to verify
- The exact legal entity that will باز کردن your account.
- The regulator and license number for that entity.
- The protections that regulator provides for your country of residence.
- The dispute-resolution mechanism if things go wrong.
