How A Broker Gets Reviewed

1. Entity Verification

We verify legal entity and regulatory status from official sources.

2. Cost Analysis

We evaluate spread, commission, swap, and non-trading charges.

3. Execution Testing

We test fill behavior, slippage profile, and spread stability.

4. Platform Review

We assess usability, order flow clarity, and mobile stability.

5. Funding Cycle

We run deposit and withdrawal checks for operational reliability.

6. Final Scoring

Results are weighted and converted into a final broker rating.
