READING THE TABLE

Which differences actually matter

Not every row deserves equal weight. Here is how to read the ones that decide the outcome.

Regulation beats everything else

If one broker holds a Tier-1 licence and the other is offshore, that single row outweighs every cost advantage in the table. Segregated client money and a compensation scheme decide what happens on the day something goes wrong.

Spread is only half the cost

A raw-spread account showing 0.0 pips charges a round-turn commission instead. Compare spread plus commission plus overnight swap for the instruments you trade, at the hours you trade them.

Higher leverage is not a win

The table marks higher leverage as “better” only in the arithmetic sense. In practice, 1:2000 usually indicates a lightly regulated entity, and it accelerates losses at least as fast as gains.

Want the full picture?

Each review sets out the licence, the total cost of trading, and the limitations behind the numbers above.
