The ForexBrokers.com annual forex broker review (four years running) is the most cited in the industry. With over 50,000 words of research across the site, we spend hundreds of hours testing forex brokers each year. How we test.
Trading forex (currencies) in Sweden is popular among residents. While recommended, forex brokers are not required to become authorised by Finansinspektionen (FI) to accept residents of Sweden as customers. The English translation of Finansinspektionen is Financial Supervisory Authority.
Finansinspektionen is the financial regulatory body in Sweden. Website: https://www.fi.se/. We recommend residents of Sweden follow the FI on Twitter: https://twitter.com/finansinsp.
The FI was established in 1991 and is responsible for monitoring financial markets and participants, as well as providing consumer protection in relation to financial products. For a historical breakdown, here's a link to Finansinspektionen on Wikipedia.

Methodology
For our 2020 Forex Broker Review we assessed, rated, and ranked 30 international forex brokers. Each broker was graded on 105 different variables and, in total, over 50,000 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.
