Every broker is scored across six weighted categories — trust and regulation, fees and spreads, platforms and tools, research and education, deposits and withdrawals, and customer support — using more than 150 data points gathered from hands-on testing and regulator records.
Brokers regulated by multiple tier-1 authorities such as the FCA, ASIC, NFA/CFTC, FINMA or MAS offer the strongest protections, including segregated client funds and, in some regions, investor compensation schemes. Use the 'Tier-1 regulated only' filter to see them.
Many reputable brokers have no minimum deposit or accept as little as $5–$10. However, starting with an amount that allows proper risk management (risking 1–2% per trade) is more important than the minimum itself.
ECN brokers pass your orders to a network of liquidity providers and charge raw spreads plus a commission, while market makers quote their own prices and usually earn through wider spreads. Read our ECN vs market maker guide in the Academy for details.
