    Discuss is for general discussions of a financial company or issues related to companies.

    Info is for things like "Has anyone heard of Company X?" or "Is Company X legit or not?"

    Compare is for things like "Which of these 2 (or more) companies is best?"

    Searching is for things like "Help me pick a broker" or "What's the best VPS out there for trading?"

    Problem is for reporting an issue with a company. Please don't just scream "CompanyX is a scam!" It is much more useful to say "I can't withdraw my money from Company X" or "Company Y is not honoring their refund guarantee" in the subject line.
    Keep Problem discussions civil and lay out the facts of your case. Your goal should be to get your problem resolved or reported to the regulators, not to see how many insults you can put into the thread.

    More info coming soon.

Run a review on them. Check legitimate of their operations if regulatory status: check if other trader has complain about them online. Check withdrawal deposit and condition, confirm the authenticity of their trade platform if it allows citizens in USA, Japan, UK, and India. Deposit very little fund before investing huge capital.

Great advice. Always best to do your research before you sign up to a broker and put your hard earned money into it.
