Forex broker scams continue to evolve, employing new tactics to appear credible and mislead unsuspecting traders. Identifying these fraudulent schemes requires vigilance and strategies beyond the usual advice. Here are five effective methods to help traders assess the legitimacy of a forex broker and avoid potential pitfalls.
Doo Financial, a subsidiary of Singapore-based Doo Group, has expanded its regulatory footprint by securing new offshore licenses from the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission (BVI FSC) and the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA).
A new programme has been launched by CFI to address the growing need for transparency and awareness in online trading. Named “Trading Transparency+: Empowering Awareness and Clarity in Trading,” the initiative seeks to combat misinformation and equip individuals with resources to evaluate whether trading aligns with their financial goals and circumstances.
