AWARDS 2025
WINNERS
Celebrating the Best in the Industry
At AFM, we take pride in creating an awards ceremony that goes beyond the typical, sponsored accolades seen throughout the industry. The AFM Preferred by Traders Awards exist to recognize brokers and prop firms that traders themselves trust, use, and respect. This is not a popularity contest. These awards represent real trader experience — and the criteria for nomination and final voting reflect this.
What Makes These Awards Different?
In a world filled with sponsored trophies and paid placements, our awards stand as a beacon of authenticity. The voting process was public and trader-led. We opened a voting system across our global audience, gathering real feedback from real traders, not institutions or panels behind closed doors.
The award criteria focused on:
Execution Quality & Reliability: Slippage behavior, order fills, platform stability
Transparency & Trust: Clear pricing, honest terms, no hidden conditions
Trader Treatment: Withdrawals, support responsiveness, dispute handling.
Longevity & Consistency: Not just one good year, but sustained performance over time.
Reputation Among Active Traders: Voted by those who actually trade with capital, not influencers.
Recognizing the Brokers and Prop Firms Traders Trust Most
At AFM, we understand that trust is the cornerstone of successful trading. That's why the AFM Preferred by Traders Awards are different from any other awards in the industry. These awards are not marketing-driven or sponsored by large corporations. They are about real traders, real experiences, and genuine feedback.
In 2025, we invited traders from all corners of the globe to vote for the brokers and prop firms they trust the most — the ones they use, stay with, and recommend. The firms that earned recognition today have demonstrated exceptional consistency, reliability, and trader-first practices across forex, crypto, and prop trading.
The results you see here reflect the true voices of the global trading community. These awards are based on trader experience, not advertising spend. And while many awards focus on popularity or innovation, these awards are about execution quality, transparency, trust, and long-term performance.
