1-2 years max with 1 broker (to avoid scam)
crypto based

I look at regulation, spreads, fees, withdrawal process, and customer support—trust and transparency are non-negotiable.

In my opinion we should also cater the broker's reputation while looking at any broker for selection since there are many past examples of the regulated brokers who turned in scam over the night.

I wonder why in the crypto industry we have well-known platforms like Binance that most traders use but we don’t have a popular broker that most traders use in forex trading.

 

[rmufti68]

Many forex brokers have started offering crypto related products like cfd etc for trading 247 however the crypto is more volatile and risky than the forex trading.

Exactly! Broker reputation is crucial. Also important: checking withdrawal reliability, user reviews, and how long they've been operating.

Choosing a forex broker comes down to a few key criteria:

1. Regulation – Make sure the broker is licensed by a trusted authority to protect your funds and data.
2. Trading costs – Look for low spreads, fair commissions, and no hidden fees.
3. Platform and tools – A good broker should offer reliable platforms like MT4/MT5, along with helpful features like analysis tools or CopyTrade.
4. Account types – Flexible options like cent or ECN accounts let you trade in a way that suits your budget and style.
5. Support and transparency – Fast, honest customer support and clear policies matter a lot.

For example, a good broker should meet all these standards—offering secure trading, flexible account options, useful tools, and reliable customer support—to give you the best possible start and long-term experience in the market.
