Evaluation Method

We value transparency and openness in the way we review the partners. To bring transparency to the forefront, we have published our review process that includes a detailed breakdown of the IKOFX product offering. Central to that process is the evaluation of the reliability of the broker, the platform offering of the broker and the trading conditions offered to clients, which are summarised in this review. Each one of these is graded, and an overall score is calculated and assigned to the broker.

Conclusion

IKOFX is a popular, professional and reasonably experienced brokerage that is moving up the ladder of being a bigger player in the global market. With simple account options, freedom to run your account as you wish, and an Asian focus, IKOFX could be a great new broker for you.
