Institutional standards for partner evaluation.
Marketsque operates a transparent, vetted directory of FX broker partners. We evaluate counterparty risk, regulatory status, spread fidelity, and execution reliability prior to indexing any partner.
Inclusion within this directory cannot be purchased. We retain complete editorial control over all assessments, ratings, and performance benchmarks.
Partners that fail routine compliance audits, unannounced slippage tests, or regulatory verifications are immediately suspended from our listings.
Evaluation methodology
Every partner is scored across four non-negotiable vectors to ensure alignment with institutional execution standards.
Tier-1 regulatory oversight
Verification of active licenses under recognized financial authorities with segregated client capital guarantees.
Spreads & execution clarity
Rigorous monitoring of tick spreads, slippage frequency, and latency during peak market liquidity windows.
Platform & API integrity
Native compatibility across institutional suites including MT4, MT5, cTrader, and FIX API connections.
Capital security & withdrawal velocity
Review of withdrawal turnaround timelines, payment gateway security, and custodial reserve transparency.

Our evaluation framework
Marketsque applies a 24-point audit before indexing any partner. We verify operational capital, license validity, and raw spread transparency.
Tier-1 Regulation
Segregated client funds and audited capital reserves under strict oversight.
Raw Liquidity
true direct market access with transparent tick histories and zero dealing desk intervention.
Execution Integrity
Low slippage thresholds and sub-50ms fill times verified through real-account tests.
Regulatory Notice: Marketsque does not act as a broker, adviser, or provider of personalized financial advice. All partner directory listings are curated for informational transparency. Traders must assess individual jurisdictional requirements before establishing an account.
InquireOur evaluation methodology
We test brokers across four core operational criteria before listing them in our directory. We maintain zero affiliate placement deals that compromise review objectivity, capital safety, or execution standards.
Regulatory standing & tier-one license verification
Every broker must hold active authorization from top-tier regulators (FCA, ASIC, CySEC, or CFTC). We verify registry numbers, capital segregation protocols, and historical disciplinary records directly with statutory authorities.
Live order execution & real-account slippage logging
We deploy proprietary automated test accounts during high-liquidity London and New York overlaps. Spreads, execution latency, positive/negative slippage, and server response speeds are tracked over 250+ live trades.
Deposit, withdrawal & fee structure transparency
We deposit and withdraw real capital across multiple payment channels to audit processing turnaround, unexpected intermediary fees, swap rates, and overnight financing markup clarity.
