The practical questions, explained clearly.

First establish whether the service executes orders or only provides research tools. If execution is offered, ask which legal entity and venue handle it, then request timestamped evidence for latency, partial and rejected fills, spread and realised slippage under representative conditions. Do not treat an unattributed speed figure as a guaranteed end-to-end fill.

Check the legal entity, the activity it provides and your jurisdiction. Verify any claimed registration directly in the regulator’s official register, including which services and customer protections it covers. A logo or general statement is not enough.

Ask which controls are actually available for your account, who operates them and what current evidence supports each claim. Verify authentication, data protection, incident response, custody, withdrawal controls, audits and certifications separately. Do not infer encryption standards, cold storage or reserves from a generic description.

Ask which order-book, latency, spread, slippage and fill data are available, where they come from and how delayed they may be. Compare fees, liquidity, infrastructure, venue restrictions and rapid drawdowns under controlled conditions. Analytical tools cannot guarantee profitable execution.

Review data coverage, execution connections, fees, custody, security evidence, regulatory status, support and withdrawals. Compare risk tools and backtesting assumptions using current documentation and controlled tests rather than ratings or marketing alone.
