Every broker is rated on the same five dimensions with public weights. No bespoke criteria, no payment for ranking position.
We verify regulatory licences, assess financial stability, review complaint history, and check investor-protection schemes.
We monitor live spreads, analyse commission structures, and calculate the all-in cost of trading the major pairs.
We test platform stability, charting and analysis tools, order types, mobile apps, and the overall user experience.
We evaluate how easy it is to open an account, the quality of KYC, verification times, and localised documentation.
We measure support response times, channel quality (chat, email, phone), and the depth of educational material.
