Our methodology

How we review brokers.

Three non-negotiable standards. Every broker on this page has passed all three.

01

Regulator-first

We verify every licence number directly with the issuing authority — FCA, CySEC, ASIC, VFSC. If a broker's registration can't be confirmed, it doesn't appear here, full stop.

02

Real account tests

We deposit real money, execute real trades and document the full experience — spreads at market open, withdrawal processing times, customer support responsiveness. No simulated tests.

03

Editorial independence

Brokers cannot buy placement or influence ratings. Affiliate arrangements are disclosed on every link. Our ranking reflects editorial judgement, nothing else.

Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you open an account through one of our links, The Sky Trading may receive a referral fee from the broker at no extra cost to you. This does not influence our ratings or editorial decisions. We only feature brokers we have independently reviewed and consider suitable for the traders visiting this site.

Risk disclosure · please read

Trading Forex and CFDs carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Between 74–89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. The Sky Trading is an independent information service — we do not provide investment advice, hold client funds, or execute orders. Some links on this site are affiliate links; we may receive compensation if you open an account, at no extra cost to you. Reviews reflect editorial judgement and are not endorsements.
