In this podcast, Petko sits down with Benjamin Boulter, an experienced trader and the founder of TabTrade, to look behind the scenes of the brokerage industry. Ben shares his journey from trading to helping grow Pepperstone and BlackBull Markets and eventually launching his own broker. They discuss regulation, broker safety, client fund protection, spreads and execution, market makers, liquidity, leverage, choosing the right jurisdiction, and what traders should actually check before trusting a broker. They also explore what it takes to build a regulated broker from scratch and why Ben believes a broker built by traders can offer a better trading experience.
