Sources
Our research draws on publicly available information: platform documentation, regulatory disclosures where applicable, public industry data, and reputable financial publications. We do not rely on anonymous tips or unverifiable claims.
Evaluation dimensions
- Platform structure — how the interface and workflow are organised.
- Markets covered — the asset classes referenced in public documentation.
- Education and documentation — what learning material the platform exposes.
- Risk controls — documentation of stop-loss, margin, and liquidation behaviour.
- Public information — transparency about operator, jurisdiction, and policies.
What we deliberately exclude
- Claims of direct trading experience unless explicitly documented.
- Star ratings, scores, or rankings without a transparent rubric.
- Any statement about returns, performance, or guaranteed outcomes.
- Affiliate-led conclusions or paid placement framed as research.
Limits of our research
We cannot verify private internal information about any platform. We cannot replace the reader's own due diligence. Platform features change; our work is a snapshot, not a live audit. Where information cannot be confirmed, we name the limit rather than paper over it.
Updates
We revisit major reviews — including our coverage of BlumbergGlobal — when material public information changes. Updates are noted on the page.
