* Margin = €3,000 ÷ leverage. A 1% adverse move on the same exposure represents €30 in either case, before costs and currency conversion. This is not the total account funding required. Margin close-out may occur before that move, depending on account equity and positions; €30 is not a maximum loss. Higher leverage can amplify risk when used to increase exposure.

FXContext Methodology 2.1
Methodology 2.1 turns ten documented checks into a traceable, jurisdiction-specific rating. A numerical result is released only after the minimum verified coverage and the full editorial workflow are complete.
Read Methodology 2.1Ratings use a 0.0–5.0 scale. The 80/100 threshold is a coverage gate, not a target score; the 20% commitment is measured over a rolling 12-month period when broker-funded assessments are published.
