While some forex brokers are highly regulated, some others are not. What this implies is that you have more security patronizing the regulated broker than the unregulated ones. The kind of brokers you deal with determines how your working capital is managed.

In order to not fall into the wrong hands, you need to do due diligence of researching your broker before entrusting them with your money. Some smaller brokers (especially those domiciled in offshore locations) shy away from being regulated because of the cost of obtaining operational licenses in their country. Moreover, regulators always require that they meet certain capital obligations to be allowed to operate.

Each country has specific rules that govern its forex market. In order to ensure the safety of your fund, it is advisable to do business with brokers that are regulated by government body.
