Our Methodology — How We Review Brokers
Transparent methodology explaining how we evaluate and score brokers for Argentine traders.
We evaluate brokers across 7 categories: Safety (25%), Fees (20%), Platform (20%), Research (10%), Education (10%), Service (10%), and Argentina Accessibility (5%). Each broker is tested with real accounts and scored on a 1-5 scale.
