The route
Five steps between an advert and a deposit
Each step has a tool. Use them in order, or jump to the one you need.
Spot the warning signs
Offers that arrive unasked, promised returns and pressure are the usual start.
Verify the company
Find the exact entity and check it in the regulator’s own register.
Choose account and size
Pick an account type, a leverage level and a size you can survive.
Count the real costs
Spread, commission, swap and the cost of moving money.
Decide with evidence
Compare on the same rows and see what you have not verified yet.

Open the toolHow this hub works
Four rules we keep on every page
01
We do not rank brokers
No best, no safest, no scores for named brokers. You get the checks and the places to run them.
02
Every figure has a source and a date
If a broker page does not state it, we write Not shown. We do not fill gaps from third parties.
03
Affiliate links never change a result
We may be paid when you open an account through a link. Tools show the weak spots of every broker they mention.
04
You verify, we show you where
Registers, agreements and your own test withdrawal are the evidence. A checklist is not a guarantee.
How we handle money and trust
We hold affiliate relationships with Exness, IC Markets and Tickmill, and with The5ers for prop trading. That is how this site is funded, and it is why we publish the rules we follow and why a link never changes a tool’s result.
Brokers are described by what they publish, with the page and the date. Leveraged products carry a high risk of loss, and most retail accounts lose money.
Questions
Before you click anything
What are the forex broker tools?
Eleven free tools in three groups: check a broker, compare costs and conditions, and start with the right account and size.
Which broker do you recommend?
None. A fair recommendation depends on your country, your entity and your style, so the tools help you check and compare instead.
How do I choose a forex broker?
Verify the legal entity in the regulator’s register, read the client agreement, count your real costs, and test a small withdrawal. The trust scorecard keeps that list in one place.
Is a regulated broker safe?
Regulation changes the protections you may have. It does not remove trading risk. Which regulator matters depends on the entity that holds your account.
Why do tools say Not shown?
Because the broker’s own page did not state it when we read it. We would rather show a gap than a guess.
How does the site make money?
Partly through affiliate links to brokers and a prop firm, always with a disclosure next to the link. See the affiliate disclosure.
