How this score is calculated: Nine weighted categories against a fixed, disclosed rubric -- regulation & client protection 30%, trading costs 20%, non-trading fees 10%, platforms & tools 10%, execution/trading conditions 10%, product range 5%, deposits/withdrawals 5%, transparency 5%, track record 5% -- not a ranking relative to other brokers, and not hands-on tested. See the full methodology. Verify current terms directly with the broker and its regulator's public register before depositing funds. This is not personalized financial advice.
