Forex Brokers that went under during the last GFC

Hi

What can one do to minimize the risk of the fx broker going under and taking the trading funds along. I know Oanda still in buiness, any one know if IC Market traded during the 07-08 GFC?
My consern about protecting the trading funds during a new GFC.
thx

Brokers dnt go under during a gfc. Any tier 1 or 2 regulated broker is mandated to hold funds in trust with custodian bank. Unless your custodian bank goes under. Then it is a different story.

The only way a good broker can go bust along with your money is thru a black swan. Like the chf unpegging incident. Because clients money are all pooled together. If one idiot opens a massive order and gets caught in the swan, all client's money will be cumulatively used for settlement with counterparty. It is then the onus of the broker to deposit their own funds into the trust so as to bring up the trust balance equalizing all the clients equity. However, if they do not have the funds to do so, they will then go bust.
