GOjj Methodology : A Commitment to Real Data

1. Our Philosophy: Confidence Through Transparency

Our ultimate goal is to empower you, the trader, to make decisions with complete confidence in the data you are seeing. We believe the only way to achieve this is through a review process founded on three unwavering principles:

  • Neutrality: Our conclusions are driven by data, not by commercial relationships. Our scores cannot be bought.
  • Real Testing : We don't rely on what brokers claim on their websites. We open live, real-money accounts to test the actual trading conditions.
  • Transparency: We show our work. Our findings are supported by verifiable evidence, including videos and screenshots, so you can see the process for yourself.

2. How We Choose Brokers

Our review process begins with careful selection. We focus our resources on brokers that meet at least one of the following criteria to ensure relevance and significance to our audience:

  • High Reputation: The broker is well-known and established in the industry.
  • Top-Tier Regulation: The broker is licensed by one or more of the world's most stringent regulatory bodies.
  • Significant User Interest: The broker has a high search volume on Google, indicating a large user base or growing interest.

3. The Gojj.com Scoring Formula

To provide a clear, objective, and comparable rating, we use a weighted scoring system based on the three most critical cost factors in trading. Every broker is tested using a Live Standard Account to ensure a fair, apples-to-apples comparison.

Our Final Score is Calculated as Follows:

  • Trust & Reputation: 40%
  • Average Spreads: 40%
  • Overnight Fees (Swaps): 20%

4. Our Testing Process: A Deep Dive

Here is the exact step-by-step process we use to collect data for our scoring.

A. Trust & Reputation (40% of Score)

This is the most heavily weighted factor. We assess it in two ways:

  1. Regulatory Scrutiny: We verify each broker's license directly on the regulator's official website. We give the highest trust scores to brokers regulated by top-tier authorities, including:
    • ASIC (Australia), CIRO (Canada), SFC (Hong Kong), JFSA (Japan), MAS (Singapore), FINMA (Switzerland), FCA (UK), NFA (USA), BaFin (Germany), Consob (Italy), CNMV (Spain), FMA (New Zealand), CBI (Ireland), KNF (Poland).
  2. Public Reputation Analysis: Using data from Ahrefs, we analyze:
    • Monthly Brand Search Volume: How many people are searching for the broker's name each month.
    • Monthly Website Visits: The estimated number of visitors to the broker's website.

B. Spread Testing (40% of Score)

We measure spreads under real-world conditions with a precise and transparent method:

  1. Setup: We open the MetaTrader platform for every broker simultaneously on the same screen. All tests are conducted on a Live Standard Account.
  2. Instruments Tested: We test the 7 major Forex pairs (EURUSD, USDJPY, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, NZDUSD) plus Gold (XAUUSD) and Bitcoin (BTCUSD).
  3. Data Collection:
    • We record a continuous video of the process.
    • We take 10 screenshots of the spreads, spaced exactly 1 minute apart, to capture a realistic sample.
    • The spreads from these 10 instances are then averaged to produce the final spread score used in our review.

C. Swap Fee Testing (20% of Score)

Swap fees are a real cost for traders who hold positions overnight.

  1. Process: We open an identical trade on every broker's live account and hold the position overnight on a “normal” swap night (avoiding triple-swap nights like Wednesday).
  2. Data Collection: The following day, we record a screenshot showing the exact swap fee charged in USD.

5. Other Key Factors We Test

While not part of the primary 40/40/20 score, we conduct thorough testing on other crucial aspects to provide a complete picture of a broker's service.

  • Deposits & Withdrawals:
    • We use our own money to test the entire process on a live account.
    • We test deposits via QR Code Thai Bank Transfer.
    • We test withdrawals via Thai Bank Transfer to check for any fees and measure the processing time in minutes, documenting the process with video and screenshots.
  • Trading Platforms:
    • We evaluate the availability and quality of platforms on both desktop and mobile.
    • We check for essential tools like the number of indicators, Fibonacci tools, and Trend Lines.
    • We assess the overall ease of use for key functions: registration, depositing, trading, and withdrawing.
  • Customer Support:
    • We test Live Chat as it is the fastest and most commonly used channel.
    • We evaluate both the response speed and the quality of the answers provided by the support agents.
  • Note on Other Fees: We test for withdrawal fees directly. We generally do not include data on inactivity fees, as these are typically applied over long periods and have a low impact on the decisions of most active traders.

6. Data Updates & Our Final Promise

To ensure our data remains as current as possible, we conduct a full review and update of our data annually, or whenever a broker announces a significant change to their services.

Our promise to you is simple: We will only ever use data that has verifiable evidence to back it up. We do this so you can be confident in our information and, in many cases, check the data for yourself. Your trust is the foundation of everything we do.
