What Brokers can be included on BrokerTrending

We only list regulated online brokers, so regulation is necessary to protect traders from shady or fraudulent trading platforms.
Our staff do a preliminary review to reach a decision on each broker candidate, including a test of their web and mobile platforms and firm trust.
We have affiliate agreements with most brokers, however, review scores are independent of financial compensation from those brokers.
