What helps: a strong Trustpilot rating. What to watch for: 5 confirmed rules worth reading (news trading restriction, copy trading & ea (bot) rules, group trading / signal copying, vpn / multi-identity policy, minimum trade duration / anti-microscalping).
This score is about trust and reputation: how traders rate the firm, how long it has run futures accounts, and how many restrictive conduct rules sit in its terms. It is not a rating of how good or generous its accounts are, so a firm with excellent accounts can still land in the middle here.
