Why do you think IC Markets is the largest broker?

That does sound pretty good.

I am diversifying my portfolio, so I am in between trading with these brokers:
1. Turnkey Forex (competitive spreads and low commission)
2. Fxchoice (various deposit methods)
3. LMFX (low commission)

Where are these brokers registered?

I have used several brokers including some top tier like ic markets, pepperstone. I also use fxview, seems new entrant, quite solid at the start. Same with blueberry experience as well.

Pepperstone got hacked recently, have you had any problems?

I heard it but nothing happened to my account so far. Besides, I had 2FA enabled. I gained confident to trade with them for their reaction to this incident.

Guys, if any of you are using German-regulated brokers, be warned that there are people spreading fake emails from the German regulator BaFIN. These emails appear to be circulating on the behalf of Elisabeth Roegele, the BaFIN Vice President and are made to look and read the part using certain special softwares that fraudsters are using. It's a phishing scam, don't fall for it!

Yes it was mass. I won't be surprised if it's a scam email though, we get used to know what fake emails look like, targeting money. People need to differentiate between genuine and fake emails/link click, it's very common practice by scammers.
One of my brokers Fxview is registered with BaFin but I didn't receive such email. Maybe some selected groups.

I always check the email address such emails with links have been sent from. If they are not the same as the official listed email as the institution (or store) they purport they have been sent from, I don't click on it.
