If it's not in the top 10 then do not use it. I see so many replies here of how about this? How about that? Do 30 minutes of research to see if your broker is backed by a fair amount of capital. See if you can find out how many clients they have too. You might as well just throw your money out the window if you're not going to use a top forex broker because the bucket shops are just that, bucket shops that have no reason to not rip you off.

A new market sector is identified by entrepreneur's (retail FX) and they are quickly able to take advantage of it. Bigger players (such as banks in FX) don't see the possibilities initially in these markets because they already have volume and high profit margins. Later as the new sector becomes established there tends to be an awakening by the big players that they better get a share of it. This sparks the consolidation process and return to size normally associated with most industries. Business on the Internet has only recently been attractive to big business, after security, payment and bandwidth issues had been sorted, big business is now able to work in economies of scale and have worked out the mix between customer service, sales and as a marketing & brand management tool. I also recall when small entrepreneur's were able to dominate google adwords and it took ages before big business was able to get there heads around it and do more than just out bid small entrepreneur's. I believe what you are writing about is this process working now and it will be interesting to see how it plays out over coming months. Certainly the NFA is anxious to complete it and wipe their hands of the small players that have annoyed them so much over the last 7 years. However by changing the rules completely I cant help but wonder at that forces at work behind all this. Have the yapping public managed to enter and destroy a market niche in the US within such a short space of time. I for one am intrigued to see the development in coming months.
