For a UK based trader, the best option is to look for brokers which are regulated by the UK regulatory authorities. In the UK, the relevant financial authority for the forex trading industry is the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The FCA is an independent body from the UK’s government. It is financed by the membership fees collected from the members that it has oversight over. Brokers under the FCA’s jurisdiction are required to show a minimum of 1 million in operating capital and this number increases as the number of traders increases.
