Factual information, not advice. Every company is measured the same way, against published criteria. Nothing here recommends a firm, plan or trade, or knows your circumstances.
Cost in dollarsOne market at a time. Lower is cheaper.
200 round turns a month, nothing held overnight. Spread and commission are the whole bill. One lot of gold ($428,620 of metal).
The broker prints a number with no unit, or calls it “pips” without saying what a gold pip is, so the same figure could mean $1.20 or $12 a lot. We show what they published and leave it out of the ranking.

Where the broker published a figure at all, we print it in the broker's own units and leave it there. Converting an undefined unit would mean guessing, and a guess here changes the answer by a factor of ten.
