Editorial Policy
Our commitment to accuracy, independence, and transparency in broker research and reviews.
Our Mission
BrokerRank exists to help traders make informed decisions when choosing a broker. We provide transparent, data-driven broker comparisons and reviews based on verifiable facts, not paid promotions. Our goal is to be the most trusted source of broker information on the web.
Editorial Principles
Independence
Our ratings are calculated algorithmically based on objective data. Brokers cannot pay for higher scores or preferential placement. Affiliate relationships never influence our rankings.
Data-Driven Analysis
Every broker score is derived from verifiable data: regulatory licenses, published fee schedules, platform features, and market coverage. We do not rely on subjective opinions.
Regulatory Verification
We verify each broker's regulatory status directly with financial authorities (FCA, ASIC, CySEC, etc.). Regulation carries the highest weight (25%) in our scoring algorithm.
Regular Updates
Broker data is reviewed and updated regularly to reflect changes in fees, regulation, platforms, and services. Pages display the date of last review.
Risk Transparency
Every broker review includes risk warnings. We clearly state that CFD and forex trading carries significant risk of loss. We never downplay trading risks.
Disclosure
We clearly disclose our affiliate relationships. When you click a broker link, it may be an affiliate link that earns us a commission at no extra cost to you. This is how we fund our research.
Our Research Process
Data Collection
We gather data from official broker websites, regulatory registries, and published fee schedules. We document the source of every data point.
Verification
Regulatory claims are cross-referenced with official regulator databases. Fee data is verified against broker terms and conditions.
Algorithmic Scoring
Our scoring algorithm processes the verified data across six categories: Regulation (25%), Fees (20%), Platform (15%), Trust (15%), UX (15%), and Markets (10%).
Content Creation
Reviews are written to present findings clearly, highlighting strengths, weaknesses, and key facts. Each review follows a standardised structure for consistency.
Quality Review
Content is reviewed for accuracy, completeness, and clarity before publication. Factual claims are verified against source data.
Ongoing Monitoring
Published reviews are monitored for accuracy. When broker conditions change, we update our data and recalculate scores accordingly.
Affiliate Disclosure
BrokerRank contains affiliate links. When you click on a link to a broker and open an account, we may receive a commission. This compensation helps us maintain and improve our research. Importantly, affiliate relationships never influence our ratings, rankings, or editorial content. Our scoring algorithm is purely data-driven and treats all brokers equally regardless of commercial relationships.
