I used to work as a forex trader before so I had to learn few things about brokers to chose the best for me. I learned that there are actually two types or more of brokers in which both work differently. The first type called No Dealing Desk which is the safest and better option in my opinion even with lowest fees just bigger minimum deposit because they deal directly with banks and offer the same market rates globally.
While the second type is called Dealing Desk or market maker brokers, These brokers have their own platform and their prices are not directly related to market rates. Sometimes in my experience with them they can be manipulative and intentionally cause traders to lose the big trades by moving the price significantly until the trader account blow up, because they profit when traders lose opposite of the first type where they earn a percentage of every trade you open as fees or what they call spread and regardless of which direction your trade goes.

 I also believe that brokers can be quite risky and many of them especially the second type (Dealing Desk), can be pure scam and forbid you when you want to withdraw your money. There’s more topics and articles about exposing brokers than casinos so you decide which one is more manipulative.
