Insights

The broker state license FFMS is a good sign. But it should be understood that the FFMS does not supervise the foreign exchange markets, its objective is the control of the securities market, so if you are going to trade Forex, in the case of conconflict situations or bankruptcy of the company governing the company, the FSFM, as well as its successors, will not help you. Moreover, the FFMS is a very low level of trust on the part of traders and investors.
