Independent, source-checked broker profiles — regulatory status, platform details, and what independent reviewers are actually saying. Filter by jurisdiction to find a broker licensed where you trade.
OANDA is one of the longest-standing names in retail forex, operating under direct licenses from top-tier regulators across seven jurisdictions rather than a single umbrella entity. Client funds are held in segregated accounts, and the broker publishes its regulatory disclosures publicly, including a May 2025 NFA settlement it consented to without admitting the underlying allegations.

Key Facts
Forex.com
Forex.com (StoneX Group) is directly registered with the CFTC and NFA, one of only a small handful of brokers permitted to serve US retail forex clients under Dodd-Frank Title VII. It maintains regulatory capital well above the $20M NFA minimum and supports both MT4/MT5 and its own proprietary platform.

Interactive Brokers

Key Facts
Charles Schwab
Charles Schwab offers forex trading through its thinkorswim platform (acquired via the TD Ameritrade merger) as part of a much broader multi-asset brokerage covering stocks, options, futures, and bonds. It suits investors who want currency exposure alongside a full investment account rather than a dedicated forex-only setup.

Liquid Brokers
Liquid Brokers (operated by Liquid Markets Pty Ltd, incorporated in Australia in January 2023) offers forex, crypto, stocks, and commodities through its proprietary Liquid Charts and Liquid Charts Pro platforms, with crypto-funded deposits (BTC, ETH, USDT) supported. It does not offer MetaTrader 4 or 5.
Jurisdictions
Key Facts
Liquid Brokers holds an Authorised Representative (AR) status under another firm's Australian Financial Services License — this is not the same as being directly licensed by ASIC. Regulatory responsibility for conduct sits primarily with the AFSL holder, not Liquid Brokers itself, and AR status is generally considered a lighter form of oversight than a full direct license.
Independent reviews note the broker restricts access from its own country of incorporation (Australia) and does not support MetaTrader 4/5. User reviews are mixed — some report smooth withdrawals, others report delayed or disputed withdrawals and unclear fee deductions. Verify current registration details directly through ASIC's public register before depositing funds, and start with an amount you're fully prepared to lose.

TradersWay
TradersWay (TW Corp) is an offshore broker based in the Commonwealth of Dominica, operating since 2011 with high leverage (up to 1:1000), crypto funding, and a low minimum deposit across MT4, MT5, and cTrader. It is not registered or regulated by any financial authority — Dominica does not maintain a forex regulator, so oversight relies entirely on the broker's own practices.
Jurisdictions
Key Facts
TradersWay holds no license from any financial regulator. Dominica, where the broker is based, does not operate a forex regulatory body, so there is no independent authority overseeing fund segregation, dispute resolution, or trading conduct — oversight relies entirely on the broker's own practices.
The US state of Missouri issued a cease-and-desist order against TradersWay in 2016, a matter of public record. The broker does not offer negative balance protection, and at 1:1000 leverage, losses can exceed your deposited funds. If you choose to proceed, start with an amount you are fully prepared to lose, and test a small withdrawal early before depositing further capital.

FXGlory
FXGlory (Glory Group Limited) is an offshore broker registered as an International Business Company in Saint Lucia / Saint Vincent and the Grenadines — a company registration, not a financial license. It offers very high leverage (up to 1:3000), fixed spreads, and MT4/MT5 access, but operates with no oversight from any major financial regulator.
Jurisdictions
Key Facts
FXGlory (Glory Group Limited) holds no license from any financial regulator. Its Saint Lucia / Saint Vincent registration is a company (IBC) registration, not a financial services license — neither jurisdiction supervises the broker's trading conduct or client fund handling.
Independent reviews describe a strict rule invalidating profits on trades closed within 7 minutes, withdrawal fees of up to 9%, and mixed user reports on withdrawal speed. At leverage up to 1:3000, losses can accumulate very quickly. If you choose to proceed, start with an amount you are fully prepared to lose, and verify withdrawal behavior with a small amount before committing further capital.
