Do you get your money back if your forex broker becomes insolvent ?

"Under current ASIC regulations there is no investor compensation fund in case of company insolvency.
Please note however that all client funds are held in segregated trust accounts with tier one Australian banks,
away from the company’s own funds. Clients with a net credit balance at the time of insolvency can be paid both 
from funds that are held in the segregated trust accounts and also from the company’s other available funds. 
Fortunately Broker corporate account balance is substantial and in the very unlikely event of insolvency 
those funds would cover clients, we well exceed the capital requirements set by our regulators. You can also
refer to section 4.20 of our Product Disclosure Statement ‘Payments to you in Broker Insolvency’ 

for more information."

I don't know if i'm allowed to mention my broker's name. Please comment your opinion on this subject.

Ever hear of "don't put all your eggs in one basket?" In that case you should have moved $9 million to safe investments and increased your risk from 1% to 10%

 

It depends!

Some brokers under the regulation of some authorities are forced to participate in some fonds to ... (same with banks in some countries up to a max. amount of money)

Ask your broker! Look for the regulation!

My comment in "." is the broker's response,so he basically said the contract says he has no obligation to pay me back but he will do everything possible.

I see your point, i'm not stupid, but I don't have many eggs right now. But it's not right to lose all the money, maybe half should be insured...
