It's frustrating when brokers become more of a hassle than a help. IG, in particular, can be quite annoying with their over-the-top document requests even after you've provided everything they need. In contrast, I've had no issues with FXCM, and while I haven't used XM and Pepperstone extensively, they also seem reliable. To ensure my funds are safe, I diversify with multiple brokers, but even then, I always withdraw often and leave a little in my account. It's better to be safe than sorry, as I learned the hard way when I tried to withdraw my money, and it took over a week with no guarantee of success. It's a valuable lesson to research and diversify, even with reputable brokers.
