How the desk checks this: figures are taken from each broker’s public terms and licensing pages and the live client area. Regulators are confirmed from each broker’s public licensing pages. The entity you open with depends on your country of residence. Where a figure cannot be confirmed it is marked to verify with the broker. Disclosure: the desk earns a commission on Blueberry, VT Markets, Star Trader and Fusion Markets at no cost to you. Nothing here is a guarantee or financial advice and trading carries risk.
