How the desk checks this (methodology): entity and regulator from each broker’s public licensing pages, platforms from the live client area, deposit and leverage from the broker’s published terms. Leverage marked * is limited by your regulator (for example 30:1 retail under FCA, ASIC or ESMA). Where a figure cannot be confirmed the cell says verify with the broker. Disclosure: the desk earns a commission on Blueberry, VT Markets, Star Trader and Fusion Markets at no cost to you, this never changes the watch-outs. Nothing here is a guarantee or financial advice and trading carries risk. Full methodology ›
