Tips to Avoid Forex Scams

First, check brokers' information. Look for a physical address and its valid contact information. The withdrawal policy, its fine print of documents and the presentation of its trading conditions are things you should pay attention to.

Second, check regulation status, including its regulators and license details. Make sure that its license is from a reliable regulator and is not out of the vaild date.

Third, check the online reviews and rate, especially the complains about withdrawals and clients supports.

If everything seems to be positive, it is okay to open a mini account and make a small deposit. A few trades could be made and then a withdrawal. In shorts, we suggest you experience the real trading conditions with minimum cost first.
