Research Methodology

Our evaluations combine three categories of input:

• Financial research — publicly available financial and product data about the platform under review.
• Industry data — comparisons against benchmarks from established retail trading environments.
• Market analysis — how the platform's product decisions map to real market conditions and asset classes.

For a platform such as IFCM-INVEST, we then grade against consistent criteria: markets and instruments, execution model, platform experience, education, transparency, and risk framing.

The result is an editorial score that is comparable across platforms, not a promotional rating.
