We don't just list firms. We stress-test them. Here is exactly how we calculate the MLS Score™ (Multi-Level Scoring) — the 0 to 5 rating shown on every firm review on this site, and the only rating we publish. It is calculated from the four weighted criteria below, and from nothing else.
The most critical factor. A firm with great rules but bad payouts gets a 0.
Are the rules fair or designed to make you fail?
We calculate the "Price to Drawdown Ratio" to see the true value.
Execution speed and platform stability.
Now that you know how we judge them, discover which firms are currently leading the market.
