Live Summits & Annual Awards

This Is Where the Trading World Shows Up.

Two things AFM is known for off the charts: a live summit that shows you how pros actually read the market, and an awards program voted by traders — not bought by brokers. Here’s what we’ve run so far.

Our Annual Awards

AFM Preferred by Traders Awards 2025

Most industry awards are bought. Ours are voted.

We opened a public ballot to the whole AFM community and asked one question: which firms do you actually trust with your money? 33 brokers, exchanges and prop firms made the cut — announced live at the Summit on January 29, 2026.

Special Mentions

3 Firms

Three more firms traders kept bringing up. Not category winners — but firms that went further than expected. Here’s why each one earned a special mention.

Special Mention
FOREX.com
Best Regulated CFD Broker in Singapore
Singapore is one of the toughest markets to be licensed in, and traders rate FOREX.com for taking it seriously. Solid regulation, clear terms, real governance — a safe place to trade CFDs.
“Regulation is paramount, especially in regions like Singapore where the financial industry is tightly governed.”
Special Mention
Plus500
Best CFD Trading Provider 2025
No single flashy feature — just an experience that holds up. A stable platform, a clean design and performance traders can count on, day after day. Voted for by the people who use it.
“Plus500’s simple yet effective design ensures that traders can focus on execution without getting bogged down by confusing features or over-engineered tools.”
Special Mention
TitanFX
Traders’ Choice Forex Broker 2025
Won on loyalty, not ad spend. Fast execution and strong conditions keep traders around — and they tell other traders. That word of mouth is what put TitanFX here.
“It wasn’t about flashy marketing campaigns or brand noise; it was the consistent satisfaction of real traders who choose TitanFX, stay with it, and recommend it to others.”

How Firms Are Judged

Not a popularity contest. A record of who traders actually trust.

The vote is public and trader-led. Real feedback from people trading real money — no closed-door panels, no ad budgets. Five things decide it.

01
Execution Quality
Slippage behaviour, order fills and platform stability under real conditions.
02
Transparency & Trust
Clear pricing, honest terms and no hidden conditions.
03
Trader Treatment
Withdrawals, support responsiveness and how disputes get handled.
04
Longevity
Not one good year, but sustained performance over time.
05
Trader Reputation
Voted by those who actually trade with capital, not influencers.

Every firm above earned it on those five points. No entry fees. No sponsored slots. No paid categories.
