Every ranking is the result of a structured, repeatable process. Here's exactly how we arrive at each score.
Each broker is tested live by at least 3 reviewers over a minimum 4-week period. We open real accounts, execute real trades, and measure actual execution times.
We collect data on spreads, fees, execution speed, platform uptime, support response times, educational content depth, and asset availability.
Reviewers score independently before scores are averaged. No single reviewer's bias can skew a result. Scores are weighted by category importance.
Rankings are refreshed every quarter to reflect platform changes, fee updates, and new entrants. The current rankings reflect March 2026 data.
Brokers cannot pay to improve their ranking. Affiliate relationships are disclosed but have no influence on scores or placement.
All testimonials are from verified account holders. We cross-check with platform data before publishing any trader review.
