The ForexBrokers.com annual forex broker review (three years running) is the most cited in the industry. With over 60,000 words of research across the site, we spend hundreds of hours testing forex brokers each year. How we test.
Trading forex (currencies) in Pakistan is popular among residents. While recommended, forex brokers are not required to become authorised by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) to accept residents of Pakistan as customers.
The Securities and Exchange Board of Pakistan is the financial regulatory body in Pakistan. Website: https://www.secp.gov.pk. We recommend Pakistan residents also follow the SECP on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SECPPakistan.
The SECP was established in 1999 and is headquartered in Islamabad, Pakistan. For a historical breakdown, here's a link to the Securities and Exchange Board of Pakistan webpage on Wikipedia.

Methodology
For our 2019 Forex Broker Review we assessed, rated, and ranked 28 international forex brokers. Each broker was graded on 81 different variables and, in total, over 60,000 words of research were produced.
While encouraged, broker participation was optional. Each broker had the opportunity to complete an in-depth data profile and provide executive time (live in person or over the web) for an annual update meeting.
All data submitted by brokers is hand-checked for accuracy. Ultimately, our rigorous data validation process yields an error rate of less than .1% each year, providing site visitors quality data they can trust. Learn more about how we test.
