At InfoForexBroker our mission is to provide traders with transparent, accurate, and unbiased reviews of forex brokers around the world. To ensure we maintain the highest standards of integrity and reliability, we follow a strict and comprehensive rating methodology based on several key performance indicators (KPIs).

How the Final Rating is Calculated Each broker is scored based on the individual category ratings and assigned a total score out of 100, which is then converted into a 5-star rating system: ★★★★★ 8 – 10 (Excellent) ★★★★☆ 5 – 7 (Very Good) ★★★☆☆ 3 – 4 (Average) ★★☆☆☆ 2 – 3 (Below Average) ★☆☆☆☆ Below 1 (Poor) Continuous Updates Our ratings are not static.
