How we rate every broker

Every score is built from 100+ tested data points across ten weighted parameters — regulation and safety count most, license numbers are checked directly against the regulator, and we trade real accounts to measure live spreads and withdrawal times. Two reviewers score independently before anything publishes, and no broker can pay for a better rank.
