Bringing Transparency to Broker Volume Data
Trading volume remains one of the most important indicators of brokerage scale and market activity. It appears in awards submissions, partnership discussions, media interviews, investor presentations, and strategic planning.
Despite its importance, the industry has long lacked a consistent reference point that applies the same methodology, standards, and transparency framework across all brokers.
Broker Volumes was built to address that challenge.
Rather than relying on isolated press releases, partial regulatory disclosures, or broker marketing claims, the platform combines multiple data sources under a unified methodology and presents them through an interactive intelligence environment.
At the core of the product is a sophisticated in-house verification framework and proprietary multi-layer algorithm designed to validate broker-reported figures, identify inconsistencies, and assess data quality across the dataset. The result is a more transparent and reliable view of industry trading activity, helping subscribers make decisions based on data rather than claims.
Every broker is assessed using the same framework, with consistent fields, benchmark classifications, confidence scoring, and data integrity labels.
"For years, broker volume has been one of the industry's most discussed metrics, but also one of the hardest to verify consistently. With Broker Volumes, we wanted to create a trusted reference point where the financial services industry can have a full view of market activity through a transparent methodology, clear integrity standards, and ongoing verification. Our goal is to give the industry a common framework for understanding scale, growth, and market positioning."
Ramzi Ahmad, Director of Intelligence, FM Intelligence

Built Around Transparency
A core feature of Broker Volumes is its data integrity framework.
Every broker record is assigned one of three data integrity tiers:
Verified: Data confirmed through direct submissions, internal validation, and additional verification processes.
Reported: Data sourced from public disclosures, regulatory filings, or official broker communications.
Estimated: Data generated through FM Intelligence's proprietary modelling methodology where direct disclosure is unavailable.
Each record also carries a confidence score that reflects the quality and depth of available evidence.
As of Q1 2026:
20% of tracked volume is classified as Verified
2% is classified as Reported
78% is classified as Estimated
This approach allows subscribers to understand not only the volume itself, but also the confidence level behind the data.
Tracking a Growing Industry
The Broker Volumes platform currently tracks 265 brokers across 21 quarters of historical data spanning 2021 through 2026.
Over the last four quarters alone, tracked trading volume reached $84.5 trillion, representing growth of more than 80% compared to the previous four-quarter period.
During the same period, active trading accounts increased to 17.7 million, highlighting continued growth across the online trading sector.
The result is a market-wide view that allows subscribers to analyse industry expansion, monitor market concentration, benchmark competitors, and identify emerging trends.

"Broker volume sits at the centre of almost every credibility argument in this industry, yet until now there has been no single place where the market could see it measured consistently, labelled honestly, and updated over time. Broker Volumes is FM Intelligence's answer to that problem. We publish the tier, we publish the confidence, and we invite every broker to participate and improve for better more transparent reporting . That is what a reference dataset should look like."
