This thread is really strange. First, "trading the news" haws nothing to do with trading forex. Rather, it is about taking almost NO risk because there is an above-average probability that an announcement by a central bank etal will move the market. So, let's be honest, "trading the news" is a simple arbitrage game and such traders should go play billiards in a smoke-filled billiards hall. Second, if someone hacks your account then a broker should treat the even just a bank issuing an ATM card or a credit card company issuing a credit card would i.e. the moment you contact the broker to report the event, they should freeze your account until you identify yourself and authorise them to unfreeze. Any other behaviour is suspicious. Third, where a company is registered and the jurisdiction that regulates them is an utter meaninglessness. WHY? Because these regulatory bodies will almost always come down on the side of the company and not the client because, anything more than "light-touch" regulation will just make brokers chose another jurisdiction. Ever wonder why most brokers are in Cyprus? Hmmm, CySEC regulate brokers that offer binary options that are a complete fraud and a license to steal. CySEC is more like "No touch" regulation.
I have a personal policy of avoiding any broker with a head office in Cyprus or Australia.
