Our Methodology for Evaluation of Brokers: Traders Union
The Traders Union's main goal for evaluating
the activities of Forex brokers is to provide its member traders with independent and unbiased
information about each broker actively operating in the Forex market. They apply a uniform set of
evaluation criteria to all brokers to ensure that a true comparison can be made. This allows brokers
to rank in order in which they meet strict evaluation methods.
The Traders Union is proudly the number one independent expert on the Forex market for analyzing brokers
because we have access to the best data, that is, our trader's experience. In addition to our team of
expert analysts, we have access to every broker’s internal data through hundreds of thousands of traders
participating in the Traders Union. By listening to our traders and placing value on their experience we
can provide insight into information such as customer outflow, share allocation in certain geographical
markets between brokers.
No other evaluation system can objectively be compared with the Traders Union analysis, that is why our rating of Forex brokers is considered the most reliable in the market.
