How do I know if a forex broker is regulated?

A regulated forex broker is supervised by a financial authority that sets rules for capital, reporting, client fund protection, and conduct. To check regulation, look on the broker’s website for the name of the regulator and the license or registration number, usually in the footer or “About us” section. Then go to the regulator’s official website and use its public register to confirm the firm’s name, number, and status match what the broker claims. Make sure the license covers forex/CFD dealing, not just generic financial services. Also confirm the broker’s domain and contact details match those in the register. If you cannot verify the license, treat the broker as unregulated and avoid depositing funds.
