03 · Costs
Fees
Pricing differs by product and entity. Compare live costs on the symbols you actually trade; ignore affiliate pip screenshots.
04 · Platforms
Platforms
Confirm MT5 eligibility on both sides before KYC spend. Qorix desks described in these reviews assume supported MT5 credentials.
05 · Execution
Execution
No invented latency claims. Test small size after connection approval.
06 · Diligence
Regulation
Verify each agreement entity on official OANDA/IG properties and regulator registers. Qorix is neither brand.
07 · Verdict
Final verdict
For Qorix: choose operational clarity over brand preference. Confirm platform + funding, connect one desk, then reconsider diversification.

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.
