EU Broker Execution Index (EBEI)
Published on the 15th of every month. EU-regulated retail forex brokers ranked by measurable execution quality — live EUR/USD spreads, server uptime, slippage proxies sourced from MiFID II RTS 28 best-execution reports, regulator licence completeness, and audited capital adequacy.
Last verified: June 2026
Measurable, not editorial
The index ranks by data only. Editorial broker reviews live at /brokers/. EBEI is the cold-numbers complement.
Versioned methodology
Every issue cites the methodology version that produced it. We change the methodology at most once per year, with a public changelog.
Open data window
Each issue states the measurement window (typically 1st–end of the prior calendar month). Raw observations available on request.
MiFID II RTS 28 grounded
Slippage and execution-quality inputs are sourced from brokers' own published MiFID II RTS 28 best-execution reports. Verifiable third-party.
No pay-to-rank
The methodology is the only input that moves a broker's position. Rank changes are auditable issue-over-issue.
Citable in AI search
Structured-fact format. Schema.org Dataset markup. Brokers cited by Bing AI, Perplexity, Claude, ChatGPT pick up the EBEI rank as a citation.
