It is frankly possible FrancoisT We will see what will happen after Brexit
I believe that FCA regulated brokers will continue except clients from EU without any special requirements, but who knows. Things might change

Certainly The advantage of trading with a well-regulated broker is that, there are minimum standards 'trading and financial. Also there is an ongoing monitoring by the regulators in order to to ensure compliance.OTher thing that comes to my mind is that there is a framework for handling complaints from customers and also that you are able to enforce actions against regulated brokers for violations.

do you know a decent broker, who provides ACATS transfers?

Hey Bonifaas_abe,
I believe most of the big brokers do offer such service, although they don’t advertise it too much.

Thank you so much, this is very helpful to know

Hello . What do you thing is the reason that the brokers are not offering , or if they do they do not advertise the Automated Customer Account Transfer Service (ACATS) much? Is it something dodgy

Why should they? Till now the service wasn't much used and we will see whether it will be allowed in the future. Just as example, Japan's regulation also capped the max. leverage to 25:1 and tries to make sure traders don't look offshore for other possibilities. [1] Japan has the most retail traders.

As Japanese broker it isn't easy to attract Japanese clients anymore, offshore-clients are history (if there were any), and maybe many small Japanese traders stopped trading because it's worthless for them. And now they advertise ACATS? The other subsidiary company of broker XY in Mauritius hasn't much to do with your subsidiary company and maybe you get trouble with your regulation, so I see no reason to advertise it.

“…Japan has the most retail traders…” I always have had high respect for this nation, I like them even more now. Never knew they were the most retail traders, thought is USA

Hi. I'm new to Forex. For some reason, I can only trade with Russian brokers

Hello Mashkov. Probably the most important thing for you will be that the preferred broker should accept Russian residents. You can use their customer services, in order to understand, do they allow Russian residents. Then you have to make a comparison to available brokers. You have to compare their spreads, commissions, leverage and account types. Good luck
