About Us • Contact • GDPR Compliance
At Leverage.Trading, we take a data-driven and transparent approach to researching and evaluating trading platforms, tools, and strategies. Our goal is to provide traders with accurate, unbiased, and actionable insights.
1. How We Select Platforms
- Platform popularity: Verified traffic, user base, and social engagement.
- Trading features: Leverage limits, margin types, order types, and product range.
- Licensing & compliance: Regulatory approvals and KYC practices.
- Security: Track record, insurance, and platform safety features.
- Fees: Transparent fee structure across maker/taker, spreads, and funding rates.
Platforms are tested using demo accounts or verified real trading accounts when possible.
2. Review Methodology: How We Review and Rank Trading Platforms
All platform reviews on Leverage.Trading are conducted by real traders — not content writers. Our lead reviewer, Anton Palovaara, is an experienced trader with a background in stock, forex, and crypto markets. Every review reflects real use cases, trading behavior, and firsthand testing.
We approach platform reviews with the same mindset we use when risking capital in the market: precision, skepticism, and clarity. We evaluate platforms not just for features, but for how they perform under real market conditions — fast volatility spikes, deep liquidity needs, and platform responsiveness during high load.
Each platform goes through:
- Live testing with real trades and/or demo environments
- Assessment of leverage tools, liquidation systems, and fee structures
- Speed tests during market volatility (execution, interface, reliability)
- Security audits of user-facing controls and withdrawal protections
- Scalability and mobile UX for active traders on the go
We combine this testing with traffic signals, user feedback, licensing data, and third-party sentiment to assign each platform a final star rating (see below). Rankings are always editorial-first, and our commercial partnerships never affect order or scoring. Our reputation depends on it.
3. How We Assign Ratings
| Criteria | Weight |
|---|---|
| Trading Features | 30% |
| Ease of Use | 20% |
| Security & Compliance | 20% |
| Fees & Cost Transparency | 15% |
| Platform Trust & Reputation | 15% |
Scores are calculated and rounded to a single rating (out of 5 stars) to simplify decision-making for users.
4. Editorial Standards
- All research is conducted by our editorial team and fact-checked internally.
- We never publish content that is:
- Generated by AI without expert review
- Sponsored or influenced by outside parties without full disclosure
- Based on unverified claims or opaque performance data

5. Affiliate Disclosure
We may earn a commission when users sign up through affiliate links, but our reviews and rankings are never influenced by compensation. We believe in separating editorial decisions from commercial relationships.
For full details, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
6. Updates and Review Frequency
We update all platform reviews and rankings at least once per quarter, or sooner if:
- Regulatory or security events occur
- The platform adds or removes major features
- User feedback or internal research flags accuracy concerns
