Colour guide — what do the country markers mean?
Market priority: UK, US, Singapore and Hong Kong lead by FX turnover in the BIS 2025 survey. Remaining countries follow an editorial priority order, not a statistical ranking. This order does not change rating weights.
Colours show how much information we have — not whether a broker is good or bad.
Green · both measures availableBoth tracked measures are available for every displayed broker.
Yellow · partial informationSome observations are available, but coverage differs or is incomplete.
Red · rating data missingCompanies are identified, but their rating observations are not available yet.

First convert the data score to a percentage. Add its 60% contribution to the editorial percentage’s 40% contribution. A simulated 50% editorial input contributes 20 percentage points. Real assessments use the published criterion weights. Displayed inputs are rounded; contributions use the unrounded data score.

No combined score: both components are required.
Assessment scope: brand
User-requested uniform test input. No editorial review has been performed; not derived from Trustpilot or a website audit.
These criterion weights are managed in the editorial database. They apply to completed editorial assessments; simulated inputs remain explicitly labelled and are not derived from these criteria.

Published documentary audits have dated observations, cited sources and explicit scope. See the UK audit and checklist. Review-platform scores alone are not editorial assessments. Brand-wide review evidence must not be presented as jurisdiction-specific evidence, and evidence already scored in the data component must not be counted twice.
