Our methodology

Profiles bring together the company's description, legal entities, disclosed licences, platforms and trading conditions. Some details may be unavailable or awaiting confirmation. A missing field does not mean a zero fee or that a service is offered.

Scores from 0 to 10 and the profile's indicators are recorded research references. They are not a financial audit, a probability of profit or a guarantee of safety. We do not present a single independently validated mathematical formula for all records. Read the underlying details and warnings.

A licence belongs to a particular legal entity and jurisdiction. Compare the company named in your agreement with the official register, including the licence number, website and permitted activities. Another company in the same group may offer different protections.

Company information is maintained through editorial updates; it is not all refreshed automatically. Where available, the consultation date identifies the review. Spreads, news and heatmaps depend on external sources and may be delayed or unavailable. A displayed refresh time may refer to the query rather than each quote.

Broker scores and prop firm popularity positions measure different things and should not be treated as the same ranking. Member reviews require an approved account and moderation; complaints require evidence. Moderation is not a court decision or a guarantee that every claim is correct.

EssFX may earn through affiliate links and commercial partnerships. Sponsored placements should be identified. If you find outdated or incorrect information, contact us with the profile URL, the detail to correct and supporting documentation. We review requests without promising an automatic score change.
