The ForexBrokers.com annual forex broker review (six 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. Here's 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.

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Between 65% and 82% 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.
