WikiFX Score
WikiFX Score is comprehensively evaluated by WikiFX based on a variety of factors including the licensed index, the level of business comprehensiveness, the risk control index, the management index, and software parameters. So based on those factors, what are the brokers with the highest ratings this June?
WikiFX gives brokers a score from 0 to 10. The higher the score is, the more reliable the broker is.
| The Scoring Criteria of Brokers on WikiFX |
| License index: reliability and value of licenses |
| Regulatory index: license regulatory strength |
| Business index: enterprise stability and operational capability |
| Software index: trading platform, instruments, etc |
| Risk Management index: the degree of asset security |
Why the same broker on WikiFX has been given various scores
Because different regions or countries have different levels of regulatory strictness, the score of the same broker might be slightly varied in other regions or countries. In other words, if we select a different country or region, we may see a different score from the same broker. For example, when we search for a broker, S.A.M.Trade, on WikiFX, we will find this broker has multiple scroes. How ? If we select the region as the United States, the score for S.A.M Trade is 4.31/10.


However, if we select “Hong Kong”, the score for the same broker would be 5.62/10. we can see the difference here. the regulatory strictness of local regulators in HK is different that the one in United States.


Counterfeiters
There are several traders with the same name and their scores vary widely. That's because there are a lot of fake brokers. This tends to happen with big-scale brokers. Because the counterfeiters hope to use these influential brokers to deceive traders and attract traders to invest. XM, for example. if you search for XM on WikiFX, you will find several brokers with the same name as XM. Fortunately, WikiFX has used the score to tell you who is really XM. And WikiFX has marked them as “fake”.

(Above is the real XM)

(Above are fake XM, and we can see WikiFX has given them pretty low scores.)
emergencies occurs
Sometimes, some brokers may meet emergencies, therefore, WikiFX has to change their scores. For example, they may be suspended by local regulators. Or WikiFX received too many complaints against these brokers. In these cases, the brokers scores will be significantly decreased on WikiFX.
