Why broker choice matters more than strategy
Even a profitable strategy gets eaten by hidden costs: زیادہ spreads, requotes, slow withdrawals, or worst — frozen funds at an unregulated broker.
The 8-point checklist
- Regulation — FCA, ASIC, CySEC, FSA Seychelles, DFSA. درجہ-1 ≠ درجہ-3.
- Client fund segregation — your money in a separate account, not the broker's operating account.
- Execution model — STP/ECN preferred 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.
- پلیٹ فارم سپورٹ — MT4/MT5/cTrader/proprietary, plus mobile app quality.
- Customer سپورٹ — live chat with humans, response time, language coverage.
