How this score is calculated
Our Trust Score is calculated from five components, each worth a fixed share of 100: regulation and oversight (30), trader feedback (20), track record (20), platform coverage (15), and account accessibility (15). Every point traces to data we actually hold for this broker — we never infer a rating from marketing copy. Where we have no data for a component we mark it “not rated” and remove it from the calculation entirely, rather than scoring it zero, so a broker is never penalised for a gap in our records. The coverage figure shows how much of the 100-point framework we were able to assess.
The Trust Score is our own editorial research, not financial advice or a recommendation. Always confirm a broker's licence on the regulator's own public register before depositing. See how every broker ranks →

USER REVIEWS
Been trading with Squared Financial for almost a year now and the platform has been remarkably stable through volatile sessions. Spreads on the majors stay within the advertised range during London/NY overlap. Withdrawals to my bank arrive within the documented timeframe — no surprises. Customer support replied to my account verification query inside 30 minutes via live chat. The MetaTrader 4 build feels stable on my setup. Overall a solid choice for active traders.
Kate Sullivan
AustraliaThree months in with Squared Financial. The onboarding KYC was thorough — passport plus proof of address — but it cleared in under 48 hours. Regulatory cover from CySEC was a deciding factor for me. Spreads on the minor pairs (NZD/CAD, EUR/SEK) are wider than the headline majors, which is normal. Just sized my positions accordingly. Liquidity around major news releases held up better than I expected.
Linh Tran
VietnamDay trader here. The latency from my VPS to Squared Financial's servers is low enough for my scalping system. The MetaTrader 4 build feels stable on my setup. I had one issue with a delayed withdrawal that turned out to be a banking holiday on my side, not the broker. Would have been a 5/5 if the mobile alerts were more configurable.
Helena Kowalski
PolandActive swing trader, mostly indices and gold. The execution at Squared Financial during Asian session opens has been clean — the gap fills behave as expected without weird spikes that would stop me out. Regulatory cover from CySEC was a deciding factor for me. Margin requirements are clearly displayed before order entry, which I appreciate. Charting tools cover everything I need without being overwhelming.
Daniel Reeves
United KingdomSwitched to Squared Financial from a much larger broker because the pricing structure is more transparent. The 0$ entry point made it easier to start small. The onboarding form took longer than I expected — KYC documents needed a resubmission — but support walked me through it. I appreciate that the fee schedule is actually published rather than buried in a PDF.
Priya Sharma
IndiaI'm a beginner who needed something approachable. Squared Financial provided a decent education hub and the demo account behaves like the live one — which is more than I can say for two other brokers I tried. The 0$ entry point made it easier to start small. Took me about a week to get comfortable placing positions and managing risk on the platform.
