Brokers that went broke, and their history

Hi!

I would like to do some research on broke Brokers, complete delinquencies and take overs by White Knights. So any help is welcome. Useful Information is;
Name of Broker/ size in #accounts, market value, turn over / date of Revelation / source of Problems / final result = bust or taken over
I want to check whether there are any Patterns in the Price reaction of listed competitors .
Thanks in advance

Gallant has been in the news recently for going bankrupt. They seem to be a small BVI company. Not sure what the end result, but hopefully the clients got their money back.

Anyone remembers GFT Forex? When I was new to trading almost ten years ago, I considered to open an account with them, as I have heard so much good things about them.

But when I returned to trading almost a year ago, they have vanished. forex.com bought them.

In order to me, if anyone interested about at any broker, he or she should go FPA to ensure their trading performance. The real trader express their reviews about their brokers in here.

i remember when worldspreads went broke. that was after they offered loads of promotions including zero spreads

then there was pfg best and mfg and alpari and a few other smaller ones

Way before the drama with FXCM being kicked out of the American market its introducing broker Avail Trading Copr., operating under the brand ATC Brokers, filed for bankruptcy with the California Central Bankruptcy Court under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code. A total of 10 creditors were holding $1.56 million in fully unsecured claims, with a single one holding slightly over $1.5 million. Avail Trading Corp.’s assets were in the $100,001-$500,000 range, which was significantly less than the claimed amount, hence the bankruptcy. Sometimes I wonder whether this event wasn't some sort of a harbinger of things to come, but it's possible FXCM's problems and this bankruptcy were unrelated.

Hey mates,
I remember Alpari UK and many others spectacularly going out of business after the events on 15 January 2015 – the so-called CHF incident.

I think the biggest problem is often people don’t read out the policy of certain broker then there are issues later. So, it is sensible to work out things upfront instead of having to worry later.
