A broker logo is not a research URL. Peak Pips now keeps a separate note for each desk on the shortlist so Google — and you — can open one company at a time. This page is the index of those notes. It is not a ranking and not a live-price feed.
Use it after a register search, not instead of one. Spreads, entities, and minimums move. If a note disagrees with the firm’s own PDF, trust the PDF.
The ten research notes
- HFM review — one brand, several markets, MetaTrader. Copy the company on the form.
- easyMarkets review — web/app tickets and optional guaranteed stops. A low minimum is a test size.
- IC Markets review — raw-style pricing plus MT4/MT5/cTrader. ASIC and CySEC names are not interchangeable.
- FXTM review — education-led paths. Webinars do not change leverage risk.
- FBS review — small first deposits on MetaTrader. Tiny doors are not a safety rating.
- Pepperstone review — raw-style plus cTrader. The form still wins over the ad.
- XM review — first funded accounts and a lesson library. That is onboarding, not all-in cost.
- Exness review — lot flexibility after the licence check. Skip leverage slogans.
- OANDA review — a long-running FX desk and its own web platform. History is not a fill.
- Admirals review — EU-style research plus MetaTrader. UK and EU entities are not one licence.
How to use the cluster
Pick two notes that match the job (raw-style cost, first account, gold ticket). Open demos on the same account type. Then read how to choose a broker, how to verify a licence, and spread vs commission. The hub at broker reviews is the snapshot view; the URLs above are the pages you can rank and share one name at a time.
Peak Pips does not execute trades or promise results. Leveraged CFDs can wipe a deposit at a licensed firm. Read the risk disclaimer.
