Methodology & sources
We aim to make every claim easy to verify. Use the register links and independent sources below to confirm regulation, entity details, and real‑world reputation before depositing funds.
What we check (E‑E‑A‑T)
- Regulation & entity: we look for the broker’s licensed entity for the reader’s region and encourage verification on official registers.
- Costs: spread + commissions + swaps/financing (if holding overnight) with simple examples.
- Withdrawals & funding rails: supported methods vary by country; we recommend a small deposit + small withdrawal test.
- Platforms & execution notes: stability during volatility, order types, and common friction points.
Official regulator registers (verify directly)
Do not rely on logos or marketing. Always confirm the exact entity name and license status on the regulator’s site.
Third‑party sources to cross‑check reputation
We don’t republish third‑party reviews on our pages. Instead, we link to independent sources so you can see a broader set of experiences (positive and negative).
Note: third‑party sources can disagree and can be affected by incentives or moderation policies. Use them as a cross‑check, not as sole proof.
Disclosure & corrections
- If we use affiliate links, they help fund the site but do not change our ratings or conclusions.
