So you should always do your due diligence. Check where the company you are considering is registered, and be suspicious if its official address is not in one of the major nations with strong regulatory laws. Make sure that the company is a member of a regulatory body too, such as a national association of financial managers. Check out the regulatory body to see if they offer protection to clients if the company should fail, especially if the company will be holding your funds in a pooled forex managed account.
