Editorial Policy

Our Mission

We exist to help traders make informed decisions. Every review, score, and comparison we publish is designed to give readers a clear, honest picture of what a broker actually offers — including the drawbacks — so they can choose with confidence.

Editorial Independence

Our editorial team operates independently of our commercial team. Brokers cannot pay to improve their rating, remove negative commentary, or influence how they are scored. Affiliate relationships do not affect rankings or review content.

If a broker we cover becomes an affiliate partner, our existing scores and review content are not altered. Future updates continue to follow the same methodology applied to all brokers.

How We Research Brokers

Our research process for each broker includes:

• Review of the broker’s official fee schedule, trading conditions, and account types
• Verification of regulatory status via official regulator registers (FCA, ASIC, CySEC, etc.)
• Assessment of platform availability and feature set
• Review of educational and research resources offered
• Analysis of available assets, leverage limits, and funding options
• Monitoring of public regulatory actions, fines, or incidents

Our Scoring Methodology

Each broker receives scores across four weighted categories:

• Safety (40%) — regulatory strength, fund segregation, incident history
• Fees (30%) — spreads, commissions, swap rates, non-trading fees
• Platforms (20%) — platform quality, reliability, mobile experience
• Education (10%) — learning resources, webinars, research tools

Scores are on a 0–5 scale. The overall score is a weighted composite of the four categories. Full details are on our Methodology page.

Updates and Corrections

We review and update broker data when fee schedules change, new platforms are launched, regulatory status changes, or significant product updates occur. We aim to review every broker at minimum quarterly.

If you spot an error or outdated information, please contact us. We investigate all reports and publish corrections promptly.

Conflicts of Interest

We disclose all material commercial relationships. Where we earn affiliate revenue from a broker link, this is noted. Our Affiliate Disclosure covers all forms of compensation in full.

Team members who write reviews do not make decisions about which brokers become affiliate partners, and vice versa.
