FXPrimus — where it wins, where it loses
FXPrimus does not currently take a column outright against this field. It loses on no tier-1 entity. Its cost per ten lots is not confirmed, so it is left out of the cost ordering rather than estimated.
Column by column
The split
Two lists, no averaging. A broker that takes a column outright appears on the left of it; one that gets beaten on a column appears on the right. Nothing is scored into a single number, because a single number hides which side you actually care about.
Wins on
No column where FXPrimus takes the field outright.
Loses on
- no tier-1 entity
Cost per 10 lots is the EUR/USD spread cost of ten round-turn standard lots at the figure above, commission excluded. Where a broker publishes a "from" spread rather than an average, the comparison inherits that limitation — see the unconfirmed list further down.
Licensing
Which entity, which regulator, which number

Excluded from the maths
Not verified
Not verified
These fields are not confirmed. They are shown as gaps, not filled in, and they do not feed any column of the matrix:
- For founding year comparisons, the 2009 date is unverified, so you won't see it factored here.
- A typical EUR/USD spread is unverified for this broker, so it's not a data point for your cost comparisons.
- You won't see data on segregated accounts or negative balance protection as this information is unverified for comparison.
- Consider that negative balance protection status is unverified and thus unavailable for your security comparisons.
