Considering the amount and kind of scams that have long flooded the market it's quite difficult to navigate it safely indeed. It's not impossible, but it requires research, research and more research into the companies and people one wants to work with.

i don't know if this thing is global or not but in some countries  investment banks are obligated to explain everything to client & record the process .some might take some sort of personality test to see how risk averse he/she is . u dont see this processes (or gov cant watch over them) in forex brokers at all ,there's just a tiny text on the bottom of screen sayin "trading is risky" .  of course a beginner doesn't see that text (or will ignore it)

btw if u look in to it their business licenses come from cayman & British virgin island  ! what we gonna do if we have a problem with the broker ? really ? write a letter of grievance to some barbarian in guadalcanal ???

I don't understand the actual reason,why mostly new comers (brokers) are flooding from islands and or from under developing (third world) countries,where already no stability in govts and in any of their law enforcement institutions. they pay a little as bribery for issuing brokerage license that is normal ..... nobody is there to see and check their activities even for their own nationals but i think still there will be no law,advanced technology and any institute belonging to brokerage system,if some thing be happen (that must be happen) who will be go there and to whom ask or complaint....... easy,fast and short effective way to be RICH.

Pentagon Paid British PR Firm $500mm To Create Fake Al Qaeda Propaganda Videos


Per new discoveries revealed by the The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, the United States government paid over $500mm to a British public relations firm, Bell Pottinger, between May 2007 and December 2011 to create fake Al Qaeda propaganda films aimed at tracking terrorist viewing locations.  According to a Bell Pottinger insider, propaganda films were categorized into three categories with “White" being accurately attributed, “Grey" being unattributed, and "Black" being falsely attributed material.  The media firm created various types of content ranging from TV commercials to news items and "fake Al Qaeda propaganda films."

The work consisted of three types of products. The first was television commercials portraying al Qaeda in a negative light. The second was news items which were made to look as if they had been “created by Arabic TV,” Wells said. Bell Pottinger would send teams out to film low-definition video of al Qaeda bombings and then edit it like a piece of news footage. It would be voiced in Arabic and distributed to TV stations across the region, according to Wells.

The third and most sensitive program described by Wells was the production of fake al Qaeda propaganda films. He told the Bureau how the videos were made. He was given precise instructions: “We need to make this style of video and we’ve got to use al Qaeda’s footage,” he was told. “We need it to be 10 minutes long, and it needs to be in this file format, and we need to encode it in this manner.”

The "Black" propaganda videos included tracking software linked to a Google Analytics account so U.S. military officials could track the location of people watching the content around the globe.  The content was distributed by U.S. marines who would drop the videos at various locations during patrols.  The whole process was described by one Bell Pottinger employee as a "pretty standard part of the industry toolkit.

U.S. marines would take the CDs on patrol and drop them in the chaos when they raided targets. Wells said: “If they’re raiding a house and they’re going to make a mess of it looking for stuff anyway, they’d just drop an odd CD there.”

The CDs were set up to use Real Player, a popular media streaming application which connects to the internet to run. Wells explained how the team embedded a code into the CDs which linked to a Google Analytics account, giving a list of IP addresses where the CDs had been played.

The tracking account had a very restricted circulation list, according to Wells: The data went to him, a senior member of the Bell Pottinger management team, and one of the U.S. military commanders.

Wells explained their intelligence value. “If one is looked at in the middle of Baghdad… you know there’s a hit there,” he said. “If one, 48 hours or a week later shows up in another part of the world, then that’s the more interesting one, and that’s what they’re looking for more, because that gives you a trail.”

Germany considers following the steps of other Western European authorities and to possibly impose a ban on trading in binary options and contracts for difference (CFDs), The Times of Israel reported late last week, citing Anja Schuchhardt, a press officer of the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) of Germany.

“Since the German Retail Investor Protection Act (Kleinanlegerschutzgesetz) came into force, product intervention (section 4b of the WpHG) has been one of the tools available to BaFin, but it is always regarded as a last resort,” Schuchhardt said. “In the future, therefore, BaFin will continue to consider carefully and with a sense of proportion which specific steps are necessary, firstly with a view to consumers, who must be effectively protected, and secondly with a view to the related interventions in the market which should be kept to the absolute minimum required,” she added.
