Month by month · XAUUSD
Monthly medians on the broker’s most-traded symbols — medians, so one news spike doesn’t repaint a month. Points are symbol-specific: switch symbols with the chips, don’t compare across them.
Price accuracy
median slippage · 0 = filled at the requested price, below 0 = price improvement
Execution speed
median fill latency (broker-side, order received → filled)

Measured from real fills: requested vs executed price from order history, latency from broker millisecond timestamps, spread from the broker’s closest pre-fill tick. Unsupported metrics remain N/A and expose their observation, account and coverage counts on hover. History is broker-reported.
FAQ
Is Startrader's execution good?
Across the trailing 180-day cohort, Startrader has a relative score of 59/100 against other measured brokers on the same symbols, based on 2 of 3 measured components, ranking #2 of 7. It is a cohort comparison, not an absolute quality grade.
How is this measured?
From real fills on connected accounts: slippage compares each order's requested vs executed price in symbol points; latency is the broker's own order-received to order-filled millisecond timestamps; spread uses the closest pre-fill tick in the broker's history. Every displayed metric needs 50 observations from two accounts.
How often does this page update?
Continuously — connected accounts sync about hourly, and every new fill lands in these statistics. The monthly charts use medians, so one news spike doesn't repaint a month.
