How We Review

Our Review Methodology

🔍
Independent Research
We research each broker using primary sources — official websites, regulatory databases, and publicly verified trader feedback. No broker pays for a review placement.
⚖️
Balanced Verdicts
Every review includes genuine weaknesses alongside strengths. We do not give 5-star ratings to every broker we have an affiliate relationship with.
📅
Regularly Updated
Broker conditions change. We verify all data points — spreads, fees, regulation, and rules — before publishing and update reviews when conditions change materially.
💬
Transparent Disclosures
We clearly disclose affiliate relationships on every page. Earning a commission does not change our rating methodology or verdict — both positive and negative brokers are featured.
