Brokers

Regulated brokers we work with

We recommend three regulated brokers, ranked by how well they fit signal traders: **Base Markets** (our free-signals partner), **ActivTrades** and **XM**. Each review covers spreads, platforms, funding and regulation — see [Base Markets](/brokers/base-markets) first if you want the free signals path. None of the three is a CIRO member, so weigh that honestly before funding an account.
