What is a broker:
Brokers in Forex are firms eg XM, Veracity, IFX brokers etc that provide us traders with access to a platform that allows us all to buy and sell foreign currencies. Transactions in this market are always between a pair of two different currencies, so Forex traders either buy or sell the particular pair they want to trade. So with that being said, the broker is basically the middle man
