Our Editorial Independence
No broker can pay for a higher rating, a better placement, or a more favourable review on BrokersSelect. Every score is the result of our own testing and analysis, applied through a consistent methodology across all brokers we evaluate.
We do earn affiliate commissions when traders click through to brokers via our links. This commercial arrangement is fully disclosed and has zero influence on the scores, rankings, or written assessments we publish. A broker we earn commission from will receive a lower score than a broker we do not, if the evidence supports it.
Our editorial team operates independently from our commercial team. Review conclusions are finalised before any commercial decisions are made.
Our Review Methodology
We evaluate every broker across 8 core criteria using a 100-point scoring system. Each category carries a weighted score based on its importance to everyday traders.

We verify every licence with the relevant regulator's public register.
Fees & Spreads
We test live spreads across multiple instruments and sessions.
Platforms
We evaluate MT4, MT5, and proprietary platforms on desktop and mobile.
Support
We contact support via live chat, email, and phone and measure response quality.
Education
We assess the depth and quality of educational content provided to clients.
User Experience
We evaluate account opening, navigation, and overall usability.
Withdrawal Speed
We test actual withdrawals and document processing times.
Product Range
We count instruments across forex, indices, commodities, and crypto.
