Who we are
An editorial team that trades before it writes
TradeRanker was built by traders and financial journalists tired of broker reviews written by copywriters who never opened an account. Most reviews online are marketing — ours are testing reports.
Before any review goes live, we open a live account, make a real deposit, execute trades, and request a withdrawal. We record every step, every fee, every delay. Only then do we write.
No broker can pay to improve their score or move up in our rankings. Our ratings are determined solely by what we measured.

Our values
What guides every review we publish
Independence
No broker pays us for coverage. Rankings are based solely on our test results, not commercial agreements.
Honesty
We publish negatives as clearly as positives. A 7.8 is as valid as a 9.4 — and our readers deserve to see both.
Accuracy
Every claim is backed by a test result or a documented source. We update reviews when conditions change.
Clarity
Written for real people, not finance professionals. No jargon. No unnecessary complexity.
Transparency
We disclose affiliate relationships openly. Our rating methodology is public and explained in detail.
No paid rankings
A broker's position in our tables is never for sale. Every ranking reflects real test data.
Methodology
How every review is produced
Step 01
Open a live account
We register under real conditions, documenting the verification process, documents required, and time from signup to active account.
Step 02
Make a real deposit
We deposit using multiple payment methods available in the region and record processing times, minimum amounts, and any fees.
Step 03
Trade across multiple assets
We test the platform on different instruments, recording execution speed, payout accuracy, interface quality, and stability.
Step 04
Request a withdrawal
We time every withdrawal from request to receipt. This single step often reveals the most about a broker's reliability.
