METHODOLOGY · VERSIONED

Scoring methodology

Scores are not for sale. Every criterion, weight and change is public and versioned so anyone can reproduce the rankings.

Active version: v1.1 Published: September 17, 2026 Coverage threshold: 70%

Criteria & weights

Each criterion is scored 0–10 from documented evidence. The overall score is the weighted average of criteria with data.

Licensing & regulation30%
A financial-services licence verifiable on the regulator's own register, the regulator's tier, and its separation from mere company registration.
Cost transparency20%
Advertised spreads and commissions, swaps, hidden fees, and how observed costs in our test match the broker's claims.
Support quality15%
Response time and quality on a real ticket, support languages and availability.
Order execution (tested)15%
Live-account test results: observed spread, slippage, execution speed and requotes.
Platforms & tools10%
Platforms, analysis tools, stability and the range of tradable assets.
Deposits & withdrawals10%
Deposit and withdrawal methods, fees and the actual settlement time in our withdrawal test.

Score = Σ(weight × score of criteria with data) ÷ Σ(weights of those criteria)Coverage = Σ(weights of criteria with data) ÷ Σ(all weights)

Interactive scoring model

LIVE

Change the criteria weights and watch the ranking move. A “no data” criterion is excluded from the average and coverage is shown instead; below 70% coverage the score is flagged “incomplete”.

These are the published brokers with their actual criterion scores.

How “no data” is handled

When we lack reliable data for a criterion, we never fill it with an assumed number or an average. The criterion is excluded from the average, data coverage drops instead, and the profile shows a hatched bar.

Coverage threshold

If data coverage is below 70%, the score is labelled “incomplete assessment”, so a newcomer with two good criteria never appears above a fully assessed broker without the reader knowing.

Sponsorship rule

Sponsorship or affiliate links have no input into the calculation and never change the order. Ads appear only in separate, clearly labelled “Sponsored” placements.

Correction policy

Error reports are reviewed within 48 hours. Every correction is logged in the profile's change history with old value, new value, source and date — never silently.

User complaints

Complaints are published after spam checks, removal of personal data and an opportunity for the broker to respond. A published complaint alone does not change the score unless backed by verifiable evidence.

Regulator tiers

A licence from a tier-1 regulator carries more weight in the regulation criterion. A bare company registration is never counted as a licence.

Tier-1 regulator (e.g. FCA, ASIC)
Tier-2 regulator (e.g. CySEC, DFSA)
Tier-3 / offshore regulator
Company registration only — not a financial-services licence

Live-account test protocol

The “order execution” criterion comes only from a live-account test. Time, account type, symbol, volume, network, market conditions and sample limitations are recorded with each result.

چرا روش‌شناسی منتشرشده؟

امتیاز هر بروکر در نوری از شش معیار ساخته می‌شود و هیچ پرداختی آن را تغییر نمی‌دهد. تبلیغ‌دهنده فقط برچسب «اسپانسر» و جایگاه تبلیغی جدا می‌گیرد.

معیارها

مجوز و رگولاتوری — مجوز قابل‌راستی‌آزمایی در سایت نهاد ناظر؛ تفکیک ثبت شرکت از مجوز خدمات مالی.
شفافیت هزینه — اسپرد و کمیسیون اعلامی در برابر مشاهده‌شده، سواپ و کارمزدهای پنهان.
کیفیت پشتیبانی — زمان پاسخ تیکت، کیفیت پاسخ، زبان فارسی.
اجرای سفارش (تست) — ۲۰ سفارش در ۳ سشن روی حساب واقعی کوچک؛ لغزش و سرعت.
پلتفرم و ابزار — تنوع پلتفرم، ابزار تحلیلی، پایداری.
واریز و برداشت — روش‌ها، کارمزد، زمان تسویهٔ واقعی.

«فاقد داده»

معیاری که داده ندارد از میانگین حذف می‌شود و عدد ساختگی جایگزین نمی‌شود. به‌جای آن «پوشش داده» نمایش داده می‌شود؛ زیر ۷۰٪ پوشش، امتیاز «ارزیابی ناقص» علامت می‌خورد.

حق پاسخ و اصلاح

هر بروکر می‌تواند پاسخ رسمی بدهد یا درخواست اصلاح ثبت کند. هر تغییر داده با تاریخ، مقدار قبلی/جدید و منبع در تاریخچهٔ عمومی ثبت می‌شود.
