Top 150 Online Forex Brokers by Popularity
Based upon average web site rankings from Alexa, Compete and Quantcast and number of individual forex trader ratings world wide as of January 1, 2008
Granted, web site popularity is probably not the best way to determine the popularity of an online forex broker. Using total accounts or total dollars traded as the measure would probably be better but that information is not readily available so we have gone with a combination of web site popularity and the number of ratings given Internet wide by individual traders. Going forward on a quarterly basis, we will also track whether a forex broker is moving up or down the rankings and how much.Popularity Rankings are presented for informational purposes only. Best Online Forex Brokers does not recommend online forex brokers based solely upon popularity.
Note: Some brokers offer other trading and investments (options, futures, stocks, etc.) which tends to raise their ranking.
