With OTC FX broking there seems to be no clear cut answer to which jurisdiction provides Client money safety in case of broker collapse
Many think FSA usa but when I asked the insurance arm they could not clearly say that FX brokers in UK are 100% covered by the 50K insurance

In USA , I don;t think SIPC covers Non Exchange brokers

In Australia things are equally bad .. if you read thsi article in a reputable newspaper

This will be an eye opener to anybody thinking of trading OTC products in Australia

Any thoughts .. Broker reliability ( apart from Stop hunting) seems to be a BIG issue in FX OTC maket.. why does the govt allow this to remain ?
