Fact Checked by: Alex Firdaus, Head of Media

At MyTradingReviews, every broker is evaluated using a structured and consistent framework. Our goal is to provide clear, unbiased analysis that helps traders compare brokers based on meaningful criteria, not marketing claims.

1. Our 3-Step Data Collection Process

We believe one source of data is never enough. To ensure our broker reviews are accurate and reliable, we use a structured three-step approach.

A. Direct Platform Testing

Our team tests broker platforms where possible to evaluate real trading conditions.

We assess:

Order execution speed
Platform stability during volatility
Spread behavior in live market conditions
Deposit and withdrawal flow
Dashboard clarity and account transparency
This helps us understand how the broker performs beyond marketing claims.

B. Regulatory & Policy Verification

We verify licensing directly through official regulator databases.

We review:

Regulatory authority and tier
Client fund segregation policies
Investor compensation schemes
Legal documentation and terms
If regulatory claims cannot be verified, this significantly impacts the broker’s score.

C. Ongoing Monitoring

Broker conditions change. Fees are adjusted. Regulations evolve.

We continuously monitor:

Changes in trading costs
Policy updates
Platform modifications
User-reported issues
Our goal is to reflect current conditions, not outdated information.

2. The Ranking Breakdown: How We Calculate the Score

We rate brokers across five core categories. These scores are weighted and combined to produce the Overall Broker Score (for example, 8.6).

1. Regulation & Safety
This is the most heavily weighted category.
We evaluate:

Strength of regulatory oversight
Fund segregation practices
Investor protection coverage
Corporate transparency
A broker with strong tier-1 regulation scores significantly higher than lightly regulated entities.

2. Trading Costs
We calculate the real cost of trading.
This includes:

Average spreads
Commissions
Swap fees
Inactivity charges
Hidden or unclear fees
Transparent and competitive pricing improves the score.

3. Platform & Execution
Execution quality directly affects trading performance. We assess:

Available platforms (MT4, MT5, cTrader, proprietary platforms)
Execution model transparency
Stability during high volatility
Tool availability and usability
Reliable execution and platform clarity are critical factors.

4. Deposits & Withdrawals
Capital access matters. We review:

Payment methods
Processing times
Withdrawal consistency
Fee transparency
Verified reports of delayed or problematic withdrawals significantly reduce the score.

5. Account Structure & Support
This covers overall user accessibility. We evaluate:

Account types and minimum deposits
Leverage flexibility
Support responsiveness
Clarity of account conditions
Clear structures and responsive support contribute positively to the rating.

3. What the Score Means

Score Range	Verdict	What it means
9.0 – 10.0	Elite	Strong regulation, transparent pricing, reliable execution, and consistent withdrawal performance.
8.0 – 8.9	Great	Well regulated and competitive, with minor limitations in costs, features, or support.
6.0 – 7.9	Average	Acceptable option, but may have higher costs, limited features, or weaker regulatory coverage.
4.0 – 5.9	High Risk	Concerns related to transparency, execution reliability, or withdrawal processes.
0.0 – 3.9	Scam / Blacklisted	Serious regulatory concerns, verified withdrawal issues, or significant transparency problems.

4. Affiliate Disclosure & Independence

MyTradingReviews is part of FinMedia Group.

To keep the platform free, we operate using a transparent referral model. If you open an account through certain links, we may earn a commission. This does not increase your trading cost.

Affiliate partnerships do not influence rankings or review outcomes.

Editorial integrity comes first. A broker cannot pay to improve its score or ranking. If a broker’s conditions deteriorate or serious issues are identified, the rating will reflect that, regardless of commercial relationships.

Our priority is long term credibility and transparent information for traders.
