Hi @tommor,
The £85k compensation limit applies to bank deposits, not investments. For forex and CFD trading through FCA-regulated brokers like FOREX.com, it is the £50k compensation limit for investments mentioned here which applies: https://www.fscs.org.uk/what-we-cover/compensation-limits/
Hi @NEILB76,
We’ll leave the recommendations to others, but since you asked about FOREX.com specifically, we wanted to let you know we have a dedicated thread in the Broker Support section of the forum to answer questions about our services: FOREX.com discussion
