    Safety and Regulations

    FOREX.com is a regulated broker under FCA in the UK, CFTC in the United States, ASIC in Australia, and MAS in Singapore. This takes account of financial standards that must be fulfilled very strictly. Client funds are deposited in top-tier banks separately to ensure safety. Again, some types of retail traders in jurisdictions are not able to have access to negative balance protection.
