True. Its important to choose the right broker. Many people dont do a good research before choosing one.
That's why it is important to choose brokers from jurisdictions which cap leverage, like FCA. I heard with new rules you can't choose more than 1:20 in CFD trading.
one of the reason wrong broker choosing , because right now its really a difficult task than before, lots of are found as scams in retail market place.

agree with andrew , wrong broker choosing is the another reason why traders losses , but generally newcomers cant choose top rating broker , because their minimum deposit and trading spreads too high.
so many brokers which top rating available and they have micro accounts for the beginners . but its true their trading spreads really tight.
