How to choose (5)
- 1Onboarding entityCheck the entity in the last column: South Africa residents are onboarded by a local entity at some of these brokers and by an offshore one at others.
- 2Round turn, USDCompare the round turn against the median of 7.0 USD, measured on 81 of 104 brokers rather than on the whole base.
- 3ScoreTreat a blank as a blank: 0 of 68 brokers here are missing at least one axis and are listed without a score.
- 4Max leverageRead the leverage column with its marker: a figure the country's regulator did not set belongs to the broker's group, not to this country.
- 5Licence numberOpen the licence number on the broker page and check it in the register before funding.
