Broker safety knowledge base
1
Assess leverage by client classification
Professional, retail, and offshore entities may have different leverage caps. Marketing pages should state who each limit applies to.
2
Return promises conflict with suitability
Guaranteed returns, copy-trading promises, or pressure sales should be checked against risk disclosures, suitability forms, and client agreements.
3
Margin and liquidation rules must be traceable
Check margin ratios, margin-call notices, liquidation triggers, and negative-balance handling rather than relying on verbal explanations.
