Our methodology

The golden rule: if a score smells of affiliation, we lose everything. Our rating must be reproducible by anyone from public data. A partner can score average. A non-partner can rank first.

How the score works

For each broker, every criterion is normalised from 0 to 100 across the whole set (min-max), inverted when lower is better (spread, deposit, withdrawal time). Each normalised value is multiplied by its published weight, summed, and rescaled to a rating out of 5. No "is partner" variable ever enters the calculation.

Default weights

Anti-gaming

• External reviews are weighted by volume: 4.9/5 from 12 reviews counts less than 4.4/5 from 3,000.
• Every broker shows the date its data was last verified.
• The quiz can boost the weight of your priority for your ranking only — it never changes a broker's global score.
