Broker Ranking Methodology & Scoring Criteria​

How community votes and independent evaluation combine to create fair, transparent broker rankings.

At FOREXINFOHUB, broker rankings are designed to reflect real trader preferences while maintaining editorial independence. Our methodology combines community voting with objective evaluation criteria such as regulation, trading conditions, and platform reliability.

No broker can pay to influence rankings, and votes alone do not determine final positions.

Our Ranking Principles

Transparency over promotion

Community participation with safeguards

No pay-to-rank model

Regular review and updates

How the Overall Score Is Calculated?

Each broker receives an Overall Score out of 100, calculated using the weighted criteria below.

Scoring Table

1. User Votes – 40%

Community votes reflect trader preference and experience.

How it works:

  • One vote per registered user per category
  • Voting cooldown applied
  • Anti-spam and abuse monitoring
  • Votes influence, but do not control rankings

2. Regulation & Trust – 30%

This category evaluates broker credibility and transparency.

Factors considered:

  • Regulatory licenses
  • Fund segregation practices
  • Years of operation
  • Public disclosures

3. Trading Conditions – 20%

Focuses on the actual trading environment.

Factors considered:

  • Spreads and commissions
  • Execution quality
  • Instrument availability
  • Account types

4. Platform & Support – 10%

Measures usability and trader support.

Factors considered:

  • MT4 / MT5 availability
  • Platform stability

Community Voting Explained

Community voting allows traders to express preference based on real usage. To maintain fairness, voting is subject to several controls:

  • Login required to vote
  • One vote per user per category
  • Voting interval enforced
  • Automated monitoring for unusual activity

Votes are reviewed periodically to ensure authenticity and integrity.

What Votes Influence — and What They Don’t

  • Contribute to overall score
  • Reflect community sentiment
  • Highlight popular brokers

❌ Votes DO NOT:

  • Guarantee top ranking
  • Override regulatory concerns
  • Act as endorsements
  • Represent investment advice

Review & Update Policy

  • Rankings are updated automatically as votes are recorded
  • Editorial review conducted periodically
  • Methodology may evolve to reflect market changes
  • Significant updates are documented transparently
