How We Compare Brokers
Our comparisons use the same standardized data set across every page on this site. Here is what we compare:
- Regulation: License type and jurisdiction. Tier 1 regulators (FCA, ASIC, CySEC) provide the strongest investor protection. Offshore regulators (FSC, FSA) provide a framework but less recourse.
- Trading conditions: Spreads, commissions, execution model (STP, ECN, market maker), and available instruments.
- Bonus terms: Bonus type, amount, volume requirement, time limit, profit cap, and withdrawal lock — all from the Matrix.
- Platform and tools: MT4, MT5, cTrader, or proprietary. Mobile support. Copy trading availability.
- Minimum deposit: How much you need to start. Ranges from $1 to $200+ across brokers.
- Vetting score: Our 1-10 composite score based on all factors above plus withdrawal reliability and operational history.
All data is from our Broker & Bonus Matrix. We never estimate figures or use unverified third-party data. Read our full review methodology.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do your broker comparisons work?
Every data point in our comparisons comes from our Broker & Bonus Matrix — the same verified dataset used across the entire site. We compare regulation, minimum deposit, trading platforms, bonus offers, and our vetting score. No data is estimated or copied from third-party sites.
Can I compare any two brokers?
Yes. Our comparison tool supports any two brokers in our database. Select the brokers you want to compare from the dropdowns above, and we generate a detailed side-by-side analysis. For the most popular matchups, we have dedicated comparison articles with deeper analysis.
What is the most important factor when comparing brokers?
Regulation is the most important factor — it determines the level of investor protection you receive. After regulation, focus on the factors that matter most to your trading: spreads and commissions if you trade frequently, bonus terms if you want promotions, and minimum deposit if you are starting small.
How often is your comparison data updated?
We reverify every broker in our database on a rolling basis and update the Broker & Bonus Matrix whenever terms change. Each comparison page displays a Verified date stamp showing when the data was last confirmed. If a broker changes its bonus amount, minimum deposit, or regulatory status, we update our records before the next publish cycle — typically within a few business days.
