Global Broker Rankings 2026
Independent rankings of 460+ regulated brokers worldwide. Compare regulation, spreads, platforms, and fees.
How the MyTradingReviews broker rankings work
Our rankings compare regulated forex and CFD brokers on the factors that actually affect traders: the strength of their regulation, real trading costs, minimum deposit and leverage, the instruments and platforms on offer, and verified feedback from traders who use them. Every broker is scored the same way, so positions reflect merit — not marketing spend.
Scores are set by our research team and are independent of any commercial relationship. Where we earn an affiliate commission, it never influences a broker’s score or position. Use the filters and sort controls above to compare brokers by cost, leverage, deposit, or regulation for your region.
Frequently asked questions about broker rankings
How does MyTradingReviews rank brokers?
Each broker is scored on a consistent set of factors — regulation and licensing tier, trading costs (spreads and commissions), minimum deposit and leverage, the range of tradable instruments and platforms, and verified trader feedback. Those factors combine into a single editorial score out of 10, and the ranking lists brokers from highest to lowest score. The score is set by our research team, not by the broker.
Are these broker rankings independent?
Yes. Rankings are determined by our scoring methodology, not by commercial relationships. Some links to brokers are affiliate links that may earn us a commission if you open an account, but that never changes a broker’s position, score, or written assessment. A broker cannot pay to rank higher.
What does it mean for a broker to be regulated, and why does it matter?
A regulated broker is authorised by a financial regulator (for example the FCA in the UK, ASIC in Australia, or CySEC in Cyprus) that enforces rules on client-fund segregation, capital requirements, and fair conduct. Tier-1 regulators offer the strongest protections. Trading with an unregulated or lightly-regulated (offshore) broker carries materially higher risk to your funds.
How often are the broker rankings updated?
We review broker data continuously and re-score as regulation, pricing, or trading conditions change. Individual broker pages show when they were last updated, and the ranking reflects the latest scores each time the page is rebuilt.
What is the difference between the editorial score and the user score?
The editorial score (out of 10) is our team’s independent, fact-checked assessment of a broker. The user score (out of 5) is the average of verified trader reviews submitted on the broker’s review page. They measure different things — expert analysis versus real-world customer experience — so we show both rather than blending them.
