We review the licenses of each subsidiary operating under a brand name and check the fine print in the Client Agreements in order to discern the exact protections entailed to clients of the broker. We put a lot of effort into evaluating a broker’s transparency and trustworthiness based on the scope and availability of information on its website.
Other essential information is gathered by opening a live account with the entity under review and testing its services in real-time.
We measure the spread rates, swaps, and commissions on its most popular account type and compare our findings to the industry average.
We test the functionality of the platforms, the number and types of available instruments, the reliability of customer support, and the quality of the research and educational materials.
Moreover, we check the reliability and security of secondary services, such as automated and social trading, so that we can determine how safe they are for the average retail trader.
We abide by our strict guidelines for editorial integrity based on the objective standards we have set for our reviews. You can read more about our review process here.
