1,2 and 3 have been discussed. 4,5 and 6 seem to have just been brought up by you from nowhere.
You were asked to provide examples of marketing, but as far as I can see, you didn't.
Can you explain who has been discussing 4, 5 and 6? I must have missed that somewhere?
Shakone, I hope the following find's you well.
4. People still do not understand how spreads are generated; they believe that broker/dealers are always in control i.e. crossing networks are not understood! Having a limited understanding on the literature of Internet trading.

5. Marketing and promotions are widely used by unregulated brokers taking advantage of existing rules in highly regulated environments.
28.09.2013, 9:58AM - Liquid validity: 3. There are no benefits to using an unregulated broker, only the broker
28.09.2013, 1:43PM - Magos: I find it very fascinating whilst everyone wants regulation, more and more brokers leave the NFA/CFTC as RFEDs ( Retail Foreign Exchange Dealers); too much regulation sometimes is constraining or costly!
Flexible jurisdictions like Cyprus, Malta, etc. on the one hand provide some sort of guidelines for brokers/dealers but on the other hand how much do they protect traders?
6. Ratings on broker/dealers are highly influenced by their own budget resulting to no credibility at all!
28.09.2013, 9:58AM - Liquid validity: 4. Most ratings are worthless due to shill reviews.
In regards to promotions people should be careful some examples:
