How FindMyBroker Works
A transparent look at how our matching algorithm selects the right broker for you.
Our Matching Criteria
We score every broker across six weighted categories based on your answers. The broker with the highest total score becomes your #1 recommendation.
Trader Type 25 pts
Some brokers restrict scalpers or algo traders due to their execution model. We match you with brokers that explicitly support your style.
Starting Capital 20 pts
Brokers with minimum deposits above your budget are automatically disqualified. Brokers with no or low minimum get a higher score.
Platform 20 pts
If you prefer MT4, MT5, cTrader, or TradingView, we only surface brokers that natively support your chosen platform.
Trading Style 20 pts
Manual, EA/automation, high frequency, and news trading each have different broker requirements. We factor these in precisely.
Account Type 10 pts
Need ECN pricing, a Standard account, or a Swap-Free Islamic account? We filter brokers that don't offer what you need.
Leverage 5 pts
UK FCA-regulated brokers are capped at 1:30 for retail traders. If you need higher leverage, we'll surface brokers that offer it.
Fairness Rotation
To ensure our algorithm doesn't permanently favour any single broker, we track how many times each broker has been ranked #1. Brokers that have received fewer top placements receive a small fairness bonus — up to 8 points — so over time every broker gets a fair chance at the top spot. This bonus is never large enough to override a strong genuine match.
Affiliate Disclosure
FindMyBroker earns a commission when you open an account via one of our affiliate links. This commission does not influence our scoring algorithm — every broker is scored purely on how well they match your inputs. Our goal is to send you to the right broker the first time, because that is how we build a sustainable business.
