From my experience as a trader, the regulatory status of a broker is one of the first things I check before entrusting them with my funds. Instreet is licensed under the Australia Securities & Investment Commission (ASIC), which is generally regarded as a rigorous regulator. ASIC’s role is to set and enforce standards designed to ensure licensed financial service providers adhere to fair practices, including capital adequacy, segregation of client money, and transparent reporting. For me, this kind of oversight means that Instreet must follow strict operational guidelines, which in theory helps minimize the risks of mismanagement or misuse of client funds. However, while ASIC regulation is reassuring, it’s important to note that no regulatory framework offers complete protection, and investors still need to practice due diligence. I also noticed that WikiFX flags a "suspicious scope of business" and a "high potential risk" at Instreet, and this kind of warning increases my caution. Regulated status, therefore, is just a foundation; it does foster more accountability and transparency, but it doesn’t eliminate all risks related to trading. This is why I always recommend maintaining a cautious approach, especially in environments where certain red flags have been noted.
