Forex and CFDs are leveraged products and carry a high risk of loss. Availability and protections vary by country and legal entity. Confirm current terms with the provider before opening an account.

How to use these reviews

Start with the platform and account overview, then read the cost and entity sections. A familiar trading name can represent several companies: the company in your client agreement determines the regulator and protections that apply.

These profiles summarise publicly available provider information. They are not a personal recommendation or a guarantee of service quality. We do not assign numerical scores without a documented testing process.

Compare on the same basis

A raw-spread account with commission cannot be compared with a spread-only account by looking at the headline spread alone. Include the full round-trip cost and any financing charges, and test the instruments you intend to use.
