No; I’ve never said that, or anything like it. On the contrary, as so many people here have tried to explain to you for so long, there’s absolutely no shortage of perfectly reasonable, honest, longstanding, well regulated brokers for anyone to choose from.
Any broker regulated in the UK, in Switzerland, anywhere in the European Union (that alone covers many hundreds!), by ASIC in Australia, by CFTC/NFA in America, etc. - these are all safe to use, they segregate client funds (they have to), they have their accounts and websites checked carefully, and so on.
Indeed, the fact that there are so many of them that aren’t scams and cheats is what makes it so very inadvisable and unnecessary to use offshore, unregulated and high-leverage ones.
I see huge numbers of experienced members both here and in every other trading forum explaining this all the time, but there’s also always a small handful of people who seem not quite to appreciate its significance, often until they have some entirely foreseeable and avoidable “accident”.
What’s all this rudeness about, @FranziskaSchulz ?
Shall we try to be polite to each other? I think the forum might like that, and other readers might like it too, don’t you?
All that happened here, really, was that you started a thread to report what a friend had told you and ask if people agreed, and seven other members explained how very mistaken your friend’s assumption was, and some people even explained why, in some detail.
So it’s actually turned into a rather good and helpful thread:
Babypips at its best, really (apart from the rudeness, maybe?).
