MT5 for Qorix. If you prefer another platform Pepperstone/FP Markets market, that is separate from the desk path documented here.
05 · Execution
Execution
No synthetic latency ranking. Validate with controlled size after Qorix approval.
06 · Diligence
Regulation
Multi-regulated brand stories are common — still entity-specific. Read agreements. Qorix is independent.
07 · Verdict
Final verdict
If both are available, open demos/live accounts carefully, compare your top five symbols’ all-in cost, then connect the winner to Qorix. If only one onboards you, that decision is already made.

Methodology
Comparisons use a fixed dimension set across pairs. Cells remain empty or marked pending until a human editor cites evidence. No winner is declared without documented criteria. Recommendations are use-case based (“best for”), not universal rankings. G3-07 added Exness vs XM and OANDA vs IG scorecards alongside Sprint 1 depth. We do not invent pip averages or licence numbers.
