Independent broker research for Southeast Asia
Independent Forex Broker Reviews for Traders in Southeast Asia
I test brokers with real money and verify licences and legal entities at the source, so you can see exactly what was tested and what was checked.
How a research score is built.
Six weighted categories, each scored from 0 to 5 using evidence we collect ourselves. Regulation carries the most weight because it decides what happens to your money if things go wrong.
Formula
Score = sum of (category score x weight)

My research isn’t for sale.
Brokers cannot pay for a review, a higher score or a better position. FX Trading Today is run by one person, so I keep two things separate: how a broker is scored, and how the site earns money. I may earn a commission when you register through a labelled link, but that never decides a review’s conclusion.
HOW A RATING IS MADE

HOW THE SITE EARNS

Scores are set from test results before I look at a broker’s affiliate terms.
- No broker can buy a placement in my rankings or comparison tables.
- Affiliate links are labelled wherever they appear.
- Corrections are dated and logged at the end of each review.
