About Wikilix
Clarity Before Commitment
Wikilix helps people research brokers, understand their regulatory position, and spot important risks. We bring broker data, regulatory records, trading details, and community feedback together in one clearer platform.
Broker Intelligence
Clear broker profiles built from regulatory records, company information, trading details, and ongoing research.
Global Coverage
More than 2,200 broker profiles across 150+ countries and markets, with new profiles added every month.
Independent Research
Broker ratings and risk indicators designed to inform research—not to promote a particular broker.

Our Mission
Making broker information clearer
Wikilix exists to make broker information easy to find, compare, and understand. Wikilix brings regulatory records, company details, and trading conditions together into profiles that show what is documented, what is claimed, and where the two do not line up — so that a decision can rest on evidence rather than on marketing.
Our Vision
A clearer standard for broker research
Wikilix is working toward broker research that any person can finish in an afternoon, without industry knowledge. Over time the profiles should be complete enough, and sourced clearly enough, that a reader can see for themselves how each conclusion was reached.
How We Work
Step 01
Discover
Wikilix finds brokers by tracking public sources: regulator registers, corporate filings, company websites, and the pages where brokers publish their own terms. New firms are added as we find them, and existing profiles are revisited as those sources change.
Step 02
Check
Wikilix checks each broker claim against the regulator register or filing that should support it. Licences are checked against the register that issued them; trading conditions against the broker's own published terms. Where the sources disagree, or a record cannot be confirmed, we record that rather than resolve it.
Step 03
Explain
Wikilix publishes what it found in plain language, next to the record the finding came from. Ratings and risk indicators summarise a profile, but the underlying detail stays visible so a reader can weigh it differently than we did.
The principles behind our work
Our Core Values
Clarity
Clarity means Wikilix treats making broker records readable as part of the research, not a layer added at the end. Broker information is scattered across registers, filings, and marketing pages written for different audiences.
Evidence
Evidence means Wikilix weighs regulator registers, corporate filings, and a broker's own published terms above what a broker says about itself. A claim we cannot trace to a source is reported as a claim.
Independence
Wikilix ratings are not for sale: no broker can pay to change its rating, its profile, or where it appears. Commercial relationships, where they exist, are kept away from research decisions.
Accountability
Wikilix states remaining uncertainty instead of rounding it away, and corrects a profile when a reader or a broker shows the profile is wrong. Being correctable matters more than appearing certain.
How Wikilix began
Our Story
Wikilix started in 2023 with a question that is harder to answer than it sounds: is this broker who it says it is? The information needed to answer it exists — in regulator registers, corporate filings, published terms — but it is spread across dozens of authorities, in several languages, in formats written for compliance officers rather than for the person about to open an account.
The first version was not a website. It was an internal effort to see whether broker records from different jurisdictions could be reconciled at all — whether the entity named on a licence, the entity operating a website, and the entity a trader ends up contracting with could be reliably connected. Often they could. Sometimes the gaps between them turned out to be the most useful thing on the page.
We opened the platform publicly in 2024 with a few hundred profiles. Early feedback changed how we wrote them. Readers were less interested in a single score than in knowing which parts of a profile were documented and which were the broker's own account of itself — so we began marking that distinction everywhere instead of blending the two into one verdict.
That principle still shapes the platform. A Wikilix profile is not a recommendation, and a high rating is not a promise that a broker is right for you. It is a summary of what the record shows, with the record kept in view so you can disagree with our reading of it.
Today Wikilix covers more than 2,200 brokers. You can browse them in the broker directory, check an authority in the regulator directory, compare live costs with the Spread Meter, work through the basics in our learning area, or follow developments in industry news. Wikilix Radar, our internal monitoring system, watches those sources for changes between reviews.
We are not finished, and we try not to write as though we were. Coverage is uneven across regions, some records are harder to verify than others, and there are questions readers ask that our data cannot yet answer. Those gaps are the roadmap.
Our Timeline
2023
1Wikilix is founded
Wikilix began as a research effort into whether broker records held by different regulatory authorities could be reconciled into a single, readable profile.
2024
2The platform opens publicly
The first public version launched with a few hundred profiles, regulatory records attached to each, and the line between documented facts and broker claims marked throughout.
2025
3Coverage expands
Profiles passed two thousand as coverage widened across more regions and markets, and continuous monitoring began flagging changes to licences and terms between scheduled reviews.
Today
4Where we are now
Wikilix maintains more than 2,200 broker profiles alongside regulator records, trading conditions, and community feedback, with new profiles added every month.
What's Next for Wikilix
The most useful thing we can add is not more brokers but better sourcing on the ones we already cover. We are working toward profiles where every material claim carries a visible reference to the record behind it.
Coverage remains uneven. Brokers regulated where public registers are well maintained are easier to document than those operating from places where the record is thin, and that unevenness currently shows up as differences in profile depth rather than as any warning to the reader. Closing that gap comes before expanding the total count.
We are also working on making change visible over time. A broker's licence status, its terms, and its corporate structure can all move quietly, and a profile that shows only the current state hides the part that is often most informative.
Alongside that, we are expanding the tools around the profiles — deeper comparison in the broker directory, wider authority coverage in the regulator directory, more instruments in the Spread Meter, and more material in our learning area and news for readers who want the context rather than the summary.
None of this makes broker research risk-free, and we would not want to suggest otherwise. What we can do is make the available evidence easier to find and harder to misread, and be clear about where the evidence runs out.
Independence, funding, and sources
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Wikilix independent?
Wikilix is an independent broker research platform: it is not owned by, and does not operate on behalf of, any broker. Wikilix assessments are produced by its own research team from public records, and no broker reviews a profile before it is published.
Can a broker pay to change its rating or profile?
No broker can pay Wikilix to change its rating, edit its profile, or move up a listing. Commercial relationships, where they exist, are kept separate from research and do not affect how a broker is assessed or ranked. A broker can ask Wikilix to correct a factual error, and Wikilix corrects it only when the record supports the correction.
Where does Wikilix data come from?
Wikilix data comes from public sources: regulator registers and enforcement notices, corporate filings, the terms and conditions brokers publish themselves, and feedback submitted by traders. Each profile marks what is documented in a record and what is the broker's own claim, and Wikilix Radar monitors those sources for changes between reviews.
