ForexBrokers.com has been reviewing online forex brokers for over six years, and our reviews are the most cited in the industry. Each year, we collect thousands of data points and publish tens of thousands of words of research. Here's how we test.

Residents of Spain can trade forex and CFD products. Forex brokers are not required to become authorised by the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) to accept residents of Spain as customers. The English translation of "Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores" is National Securities Market Commission.

The Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores is the financial regulatory body in Spain. Website: http://www.cnmv.es/. We recommend residents of Spain follow the CNMV on Twitter: https://twitter.com/CNMV_Medios.

The CNMV was established in 1988 and is responsible for ensuring stability and transparency in the financial markets. For a historical breakdown, here's a link to the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores webpage on Wikipedia.

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Between 74% and 89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

How to Verify CNMV Authorisation

Residents of Spain can search the CNMV company register to verify whether or not a broker is authorized. If a company is authorized, a company profile will be available with a registration number and date upon searching.

2023 Review Methodology

At ForexBrokers.com, our reviews of online forex brokers and their products and services are based on our collected data as well as the observations and qualified opinions of our expert researchers. Each year we publish tens of thousands of words of research and detailed forex guides, and we monitor dozens of international regulator agencies (read more about how we calculate Trust Score here).

Our research team conducts thorough testing on a wide range of features, products, services, and tools (collecting and validating thousands of data points in the process). We test all available trading platforms for each broker – whether they are proprietary or come from third-party providers – and evaluate them based on a host of data-driven variables.

We also take an in-depth look at each broker’s commissions and fees, such as bid/ask spreads – including the average spread data for some of the most popular forex currency pairs. We research other trading costs, such as inactivity or custody fees, minimum deposit requirements, VIP rebates and/or discounts, and a range of other important fee-based data points.

Some of the other important research categories that are factored into our testing include mobile trading accessibility and capability, availability of market research and educational content, and each broker’s overall Trust Score.
