What this site is, and what it is not
Auron FX is a reference site. We read the public pages of each broker, summarise the account types, the platforms and the funding options, and point out the trade-offs. We are not a broker, we do not take deposits, and we do not manage anyone's money. If you open an account through one of our links, the broker may pay us a commission, which does not change what you pay. That is how the site is funded, and it is the reason we keep our review rules written down on the about page.
How to choose a forex broker
Start with regulation. Many brokers that accept clients from South Asia, Africa and the Middle East operate through international entities licensed in places such as Seychelles, Mauritius, Cyprus or Belize. That is not the same as being regulated at home, and the protection can be weaker. Always check which legal entity will hold your account and which regulator supervises it, using the broker's own website.
Next, compare costs: the spread, any commission per lot, swap on overnight positions and withdrawal fees. Then look at funding: can you deposit and withdraw with a method you already use, such as a local bank transfer, a card, an e-wallet or USDT? Finally, test the platform on a demo account before sending real money. Our guides on choosing a broker, lot size and leverage and spreads and swaps go through each of these steps.
The six brokers in one line each
Exness is popular for fast withdrawals and a wide range of account types, and it runs no deposit bonus programme.
XM is a long-established broker with a large education library and multilingual support; promotions depend on your country.
FBS offers several account types, a mobile app and, in some regions, promotions with strict conditions attached.
RoboForex gives you a choice of MetaTrader accounts and its own platform, and runs periodic promotions that vary by country.
AMarkets is a smaller broker with a simple account lineup; check the current conditions for your country before you commit.
Weltrade targets beginners with a low entry barrier and demo-first onboarding, but you should still compare its costs with the others.
Bonuses: read the conditions first
A bonus is not free money. Most programmes attach trading-volume requirements, time limits or restrictions on withdrawing profits made with bonus funds. We list what each broker states publicly on our bonuses page, including the brokers that offer none, because a no-bonus broker with tight spreads can cost you less in practice.
Trading apps and platforms
Every broker here supports MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5, and most also have their own mobile app. Each broker page has a download section that explains how to install the platform from official sources only and how to pick the right server when you log in.
The risk you cannot skip
Forex and CFD trading is high risk. Leverage multiplies losses as well as gains, and brokers are generally required to disclose that a majority of retail accounts lose money. Never trade with borrowed money or funds you need for rent, school fees or family expenses. Be sceptical of anyone selling signals, copy-trading "secrets" or automatic profit robots.

Our short guide what is forex and the article on risk management are good starting points, and all guides are listed in the guides section.
