How we rank this category
This ranking compares price source separately from the overall score.
Price source shows whether a broker offers real-market symbols, broker-priced OTC instruments, proprietary synthetic markets, or a mixture. Compare the quote source, timestamp, trading session, and settlement rule before trading.
What to compare
Terms

Scope
Read category rank separately
A higher position in this category is not a safety, legality, or suitability verdict.
