How we build every ranking

Our purpose

ForexRanks exists to cut through broker marketing. Instead of taking a broker's word for its spreads, licensing or platform quality, we check the underlying regulator filings, fee schedules and account terms, then score every broker against the same fixed criteria — so a rank on this site reflects evidence, not ad spend.

How we work

Every review moves through the same pipeline: source the broker's regulatory status and legal entity, pull live pricing and account terms, weigh platform and support quality, and cross-check trader feedback before a score is published. Scores are revisited whenever a broker changes its licensing, pricing or platform offering.

Our team

Our researchers, editors and reviewers each focus on a slice of the process — regulation, cost analysis, platform testing or trader feedback — so no single write-up skips a step. Every published page passes through a second reviewer before it goes live.
