89 Forex Brokers Tested & Ranked
Real money tests. No affiliate BS. From the best to the absolute worst.
Why we tested 89 brokers with real money
The online forex industry is flooded with marketing noise. "Zero spreads," "instant execution," and "guaranteed profits" are claimed by almost everyone, from legitimate Tier-1 brokers to unregulated offshore scams.
At ForexRoasted, we don't rely on demo accounts or marketing brochures. We opened live accounts, deposited real capital ($47,000 total), and traded for over 18 months. We intentionally tested customer support with difficult questions, withdrew funds to check for delays, and measured slippage during high-impact news events.
The result is this comprehensive ranking. It separates the true ECN providers from the B-Book market makers and, most importantly, highlights the dangerous scams you must avoid at all costs.
Our mission is simple: transparency in an industry designed to be opaque. Most review sites are merely affiliate portals that rank brokers based on who pays the highest commission. We take the opposite approach. If a broker has predatory terms or a history of freezing accounts, they are relegated to our "Poor" or "Scam" lists, regardless of their marketing budget. This database is updated monthly to reflect changes in execution speeds, regulatory status, and user feedback.
