PipDig adheres to strict guidelines to preserve editorial integrity to help you make decisions with confidence. Some of the reviews and content we feature on this site are supported by affiliate partnerships from which this website may receive money. This may impact how, where and which companies / services we review and write about. Our team of experts works to continually re-evaluate the reviews and information we provide on all the top Forex / CFD brokerages featured here.
Tell us where you live, how you trade and what you refuse to compromise on. The quiz scores brokers against your answers using a published 100-point weighting. We do not currently publish a rated broker, so it returns no shortlist.
Broker rankings are useful right up until the moment they are applied to a person. The broker with the best overall score on this site is a US futures specialist with a $10 minimum deposit and no MetaTrader support. If you live in Dubai, trade gold on MT5 and want a swap-free account, that broker is not merely a poor fit — it is not an option at all. Yet it sits at the top of every “best broker” list including ours, because those lists measure the quality of the trading environment, not its relevance to you.
The finder inverts that. Jurisdiction carries the heaviest weight because it is the one criterion that can disqualify a broker outright: no amount of tight pricing compensates for an entity that legally cannot open your account. Your stated priority carries the second heaviest weight, because a trader who says “cost above all” and a trader who says “regulation above all” should not receive the same answer from the same data set.
Each criterion produces a score between zero and one, which is multiplied by its weight. A broker that ranks in our list for your country earns the full 25 points; one that accepts international clients but is not ranked for your region earns a fraction; one that cannot onboard you earns nothing. The same logic runs through instrument availability, minimum deposit against your intended funding, execution model against your holding period, and the category score behind your stated priority.
It does not predict profitability, and it does not pretend that a 92% match is meaningfully better than an 88% one. Treat the top three as a shortlist worth an hour of due diligence each, not as a ranking to be followed blindly. Open the demo, check the spread at the hours you actually trade, read the withdrawal terms, and verify the licence number on the regulator's register.
Take your shortlist into the Broker Explorer and put the candidates side by side, or read the full ranked list for the reasoning behind each score. If two names are close, our head-to-head comparisons break them down row by row.
Each of the six questions carries a published weight: country of residence 25 points, main priority 20, instrument 15, account size 15, trading style 15 and experience 10 — 100 points in total. Every broker we cover is scored against all six, and each result shows exactly which answers earned which points.
No. The scoring runs entirely on the same tested data behind our reviews — regulation, deposits, measured costs, platforms and category scores. Brokers cannot pay to appear, to rank higher, or to be excluded from a competitor's result.
Because the rating measures quality, not fit. A broker with a 5.0 overall score that cannot legally onboard residents of your country scores zero on the heaviest single criterion, so it will not surface. That is the point of the quiz.
Yes. Use “Refine answers” on the results screen to step back into the quiz with your answers intact, or click any numbered step to jump straight to it. “Start over” clears everything.
Open a demo account with your top match and place the trades you actually intend to place. Check the spread at the times you trade, confirm which legal entity appears on your account documents, and complete one small withdrawal before you scale up your deposit.
