please excuse my clarifying/correcting this, just to make sure nobody’s misled by it …
the branch of IC Markets that offers accounts with 1:1,000 leverage is NOT “highly regulated”
it’s barely regulated at all - it’s “regulated” only by the Seychelles Financial Authority, which is paid for by the “brokers” it regulates and doesn’t ever rule against them, and that’s actually tantamount to being unregulated
i’m not calling IC Markets crooks, or anything of the kind, but people need to be aware that this is one of the companies that runs different brokerages - one is well regulated, by ASIC in Australia, but of course that’s NOT the one that’s allowing people to use such high leverage, because ASIC doesn’t allow that - the brokers they regulate are limited to 1:30, just as in Europe
