There are problems associated with working through a broker. If your broker is not very trustworthy then he or she may over charge you on your account. You may even find your money misappropriated. You may find trading happening on your account which is not permitted and you may even find that essential data is suppressed by them to suit their profits over yours. When all of this is added over and above loss making ventures through your brokers, then you realize that you need to take firm action. The best thing to do is to keep an eye on your broker’s activity or get a new broker altogether.
