Your broker takes a cut of every trade. See exactly how much.
Spreads and commissions turned into dollars per year, licences checked against official registers, and regulator warnings shown up front. Ranked by data, never by who pays.
I trade standard lots of EUR/USD a month.
Ranked by what you keep.
Cost per year assumes 20 standard lots of EUR/USD a month on each broker's cheapest published account. Cheapest right now: Hantec Markets at $1.00 a lot.

Regulator tier, costs against peers, minimum deposit, platforms and payment options.Verified traders · 30%
Reviews weighted by proof. Until a broker has 10 verified reviews, outside ratings stand in.Money out · 20%
Median verified withdrawal time and dispute resolution rate, once enough cases exist.Our tests · 10%
Real funded accounts we deposit to and withdraw from, with receipts posted.Sponsors never move a score. Brokers can buy a labelled slot. They can't buy a rank, remove a review or hide a dispute.
Launch note: verified reviews, withdrawal times and our own tests are switching on now. Until they have enough data, scores use hard data (60%) and outside ratings (40%). Full methodology.
Every verified review is one entry. A one-star review counts exactly the same as a five-star one. Drawn every Sunday at 20:00 Gulf time.
- Entry list hash published every Saturday before the draw.
- Winner picked from the first Bitcoin block hash after 20:00 GST. Anyone can check it.
- Max 3 entries per person a week, 1 per broker. No deposit or purchase needed.

Missing your broker? Two fields.
We pull its licences, regulator warnings, trading terms, country traffic and outside ratings ourselves. A person reviews every new listing before it ranks.
