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. 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.
3. 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

4. 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.
5. 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
