Every broker, prop firm, and exchange on ForexDailyInfo is scored against the same fixed criteria — regardless of any advertising or partnership relationship. Here is exactly how we do it.
Our ratings are built from a mix of hands-on testing, regulator record checks, and ongoing monitoring — not press releases or affiliate payouts. A broker's advertising spend with us has no bearing on its score, and every sponsored placement is clearly labeled as such, separate from our editorial verdict.
This page documents the process end to end: how we gather data, the criteria we score against, what the scale means, and how we keep reviews current after they're published.
We pull each broker's regulatory filings, fee schedules, platform lineup, and account terms directly from the source — not from marketing copy.
Where possible, our team opens real or demo accounts to test execution speed, platform stability, withdrawal times, and support responsiveness firsthand.
Every license number is cross-checked against the issuing regulator's public register before it's published on a profile or badge.
Findings are scored against the fixed criteria below and passed through editorial sign-off before a rating goes live.
Every profile is scored on a 0–10 scale across the six categories below, then combined into the overall rating shown on its review.
Licensing tier, fund segregation, negative-balance protection, and the regulator's own enforcement history.
Spreads, commissions, swap/overnight charges, and deposit or withdrawal fees, weighed against account type.
Platform choice, charting depth, order types, and API or automation support.
Fill speed, slippage under live testing, requotes, and platform/server uptime.
Response time and quality across live chat, phone, and email, tested directly by our team.
Account opening speed, mobile app quality, and how clearly fees and terms are disclosed up front.
ForexDailyInfo may earn a commission when readers sign up with a broker through links on this site. That relationship never influences a rating: scores are set by the criteria above before any commercial terms are discussed, sponsored placements are always labeled, and no broker can pay to raise its score.
Broker terms change. If a review looks off, let us know and we'll take another look.
