T4Trade — where it wins, where it loses
T4Trade does not currently take a column outright against this field. It loses on tier-1 cover, published spread. 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 T4Trade takes the field outright.
Loses on
- tier-1 cover
- published spread
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.

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:
- founded year not verified (2022 directory claim only)
- minDeposit not verified — own FAQ pages blocked automated fetch and directories conflict ($50 vs $100)
- maxLeverage 'up to 1:1000' is from the broker's own account-types page as surfaced in search snippets; the page itself blocked automated fetch
- spreadEurusd not recorded — the account page shows 'Average Spread: 1.8' without labelling it EURUSD
- platforms and instruments not verified from own pages
- segregatedFunds and negativeBalanceProtection not verified from legal text
- FCA warning-list first-listing date 27 Feb 2023 is directory-reported; the FCA page carried no date in extraction
- SD029 status not explicitly stated by the FSA Seychelles register extract (listing present, no status field)
