Our Verdict

Dukascopy is assessed here on its regulatory licences, published trading costs, platform range and account terms. Its licences from FINMA, FCMC are the primary safeguard for client funds — check each licence number on the regulator's own register before depositing.

Dukascopy advertises execution of 20ms and offers JForex. That execution figure is the broker's own published claim, not a speed we have measured — real fills vary with account type, session liquidity and news conditions.
