Why FX Recap exists
Forex prices move constantly, driven by price action, economic releases and central bank decisions. Our job is to filter that noise and cover what matters to currency traders, in plain, accurate language that neither oversimplifies nor overstates.
FX Recap was founded in 2025 out of a simple frustration: broker information and market commentary online were shaped more by marketing than by fact. What started as a small research project has become a dedicated forex media platform run by traders, writers and editors rather than a sales team.
We publish broker analysis, market and regulatory news and educational content, checked against regulatory filings, central bank statements and data we verify ourselves. Where we have a commercial relationship with a broker, it is disclosed and kept separate from what we write. Read the founder's story on our mission and values page.
What we value
Accuracy
Every fact is checked against an official source before it is published.
Independence
Coverage decisions are made by the editorial team, never by advertisers.
Transparency
Affiliate relationships are disclosed on every page where they apply.
Clarity
Forex ideas are explained in plain, structured language, not jargon.

A letter from our founder
Ranjan NiskrityFounder, Owner & Forex Trader, FX RecapDear readers,
Welcome to FX Recap. This platform was created for readers who want forex information explained with care and responsibility. Currency markets move quickly, but understanding them should never feel rushed. Our role is to slow the story down, verify it and present it with context.
Years of following currency markets, economic policy and the forces behind exchange rates taught me a simple lesson: accuracy matters more than speed.
Every article here follows a structured editorial process. We verify data, cross-check sources and avoid speculation. You will not find exaggerated claims or attention-grabbing headlines. Our responsibility is to inform, not to push trading decisions.
I want to be transparent: FX Recap partners with regulated brokers and may earn a commission when readers open accounts through our links. This is disclosed on the relevant pages. It does not change how we write, what we rate or what we recommend; our editorial process is kept separate from those commercial arrangements.
Thank you for reading FX Recap and trusting our work.
Ranjan Niskrity

About FX Recap FAQs
What is FX Recap?
An independent forex broker review and education platform founded in 2025. We test brokers, analyse their costs, platforms and reliability, and present the findings in clear, honest reviews alongside market news, free tools and a free forex course.
Are your broker reviews unbiased? How do you make money?
FX Recap partners with regulated brokers and may earn a commission when you open an account through our links, and says so openly. Those relationships do not decide ratings: every broker is scored with the same method, and a poor broker receives a poor rating whatever the commercial arrangement.
How do you test forex brokers?
We open real accounts to test execution, spreads, slippage and withdrawals; verify licences with regulators such as the FCA, ASIC and CySEC; and calculate total trading costs, including spreads, commissions, overnight fees and hidden charges.
Is forex trading safe? Should I start?
Forex trading is high-risk and most retail traders lose money. Learn first, practise on a demo account and only trade money you can afford to lose. We are here to help you decide carefully, not to encourage reckless trading.
Do you offer trading signals or investment advice?
No. FX Recap is an education and review platform, not a financial adviser, and gives no signals or buy and sell recommendations. Consult a licensed adviser for personal guidance.
Can I write for FX Recap?
Experienced traders, financial professionals and industry experts can send their background, writing samples and topic ideas through the contact page. We review every submission but cannot guarantee publication.
