Editorial team
South Africa-based editorial team covering FX, indices, commodities, and broker microstructure. We review broker pages for spread accuracy, regulatory claims, and risk-disclosure language before publish.
About
We cover institutional-grade FX research for a retail audience. Our editors come from bank desks, prop shops and execution-quality consultancies. We do not hold positions in broker stocks, do not receive bonuses tied to affiliate revenue, and have no relationship with any broker beyond test accounts.
Our editorial standards are published in full. If you spot an error, email us — corrections stay at the top of the affected article for 30 days.
