How this comparison works

Every broker is assessed using the same documented criteria. Scores are based on publicly available information, direct product research and clearly identified sources. Read the methodology →

A note on risk

CFDs and other leveraged products carry a high risk of losing money rapidly because of leverage, and a majority of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. A high editorial score reflects disclosure and service quality. It does not make trading safe.
