Risk warning: CFDs, forex, crypto and other leveraged products are high-risk, and a high proportion of retail investor accounts lose money when trading them. This page is general information, not investment advice.
Broker Rankings
Borrowing to invest amplifies gains and losses in both directions. The factor that most negatively impacts performance is the interest rate charged by the broker on borrowed cash. Brokers on this page are reviewed based on tiered margin loan rates, maintenance margin thresholds, notice periods before forced liquidation, the breadth of marginable assets, and portfolio margin availability. Short selling depends on share availability through the broker's lending desk and borrow fees for hard-to-borrow names. Margin call mechanics, forced liquidation policies, and transparency on overnight financing determine whether a brokerage account is a tool or a trap.
Account eligibility and broker availability depend on your country of residence. Setting this now allows us to hide brokers that do not accept clients from your country.
