Cost separates brokers who are otherwise level on the measures that decide the list.
A quoted spread from 0.0 pips is a raw-spread figure, which almost always means a separate commission per lot. Compare the two together - a "zero spread" account with a high commission can cost more than a wider spread with none.
Quoted spreads are best-case figures on the most liquid pair, in normal conditions. What you actually pay widens around news and at the session open.
T4Trade lists a minimum deposit of $50. Treat it as the cost of opening an account, not the cost of trading one - position sizing on a small balance is what tends to cause damage.

Leverage up to 1:1000 is available on this entity. High leverage does not increase your expected return - it increases position size for the same deposit, and shortens the move needed to close you out.
T4Trade covers forex, metals, indices, futures, commodities, shares. A wider range matters less than depth in the instruments you actually trade.
Funding options: credit/debit cards, bank transfer, e-wallets and regional payment methods. Check withdrawal routes as well as deposit ones - they are often not the same, and the difference only becomes apparent when you try to take money out.

A licence is what puts a broker on this list at all; everything after it decides the position.
T4Trade's licence is offshore (FSA). Offshore entities typically offer higher leverage and lighter reporting, and compensation schemes do not apply - the trade-off is protection, not price.
An FSA licence here is usually the Seychelles authorisation - an offshore entity, with lighter obligations than a tier-one regulator.

Questions people ask about T4Trade
What would move T4Trade up or down this list?
T4Trade's weakest category is education, at 52 out of a hundred, so that is where a change would move it fastest. A licence gained or lost moves a broker further than anything else, because regulation carries the most weight.
