Frequently Asked Questions

FX Recap is built for retail Forex traders at all experience levels — from complete beginners who need fundamentals explained clearly, to experienced traders seeking reliable daily market recaps and in-depth broker comparisons.

We also serve traders who want to verify a broker’s regulatory standing before opening a trading account.

All content is produced by our in-house team of financial journalists, market analysts, and editorial specialists with backgrounds in financial media, quantitative research, and active Forex trading. Every article is reviewed before publication.

Daily Market Recaps — currency pair analysis after every major session.

Broker Reviews — independent evaluations based on regulation, spreads, platforms, and trading conditions.

Regulatory Updates — licensing changes from global financial regulators.

Educational Guides — practical content to help traders understand markets, risks, and best practices.

FX Recap is a Forex media and education platform, not a financial services provider. We do not manage funds, execute trades, or provide personalised financial advice. We follow responsible publishing standards and maintain full transparency about all commercial relationships.

Live Account Testing: We open real accounts and trade with actual capital to test execution, spreads, slippage, and withdrawals.

Regulatory Verification: We verify licences directly with the FCA, ASIC, CySEC, and other authorities.

Cost Analysis: We calculate total trading costs including spreads, commissions, overnight fees, and hidden charges.

Platform Assessment: We test platforms across desktop and mobile for speed, reliability, and usability.

Our ratings use a standardised methodology covering: regulatory status, trading costs, platform reliability, customer support, deposit and withdrawal conditions, and fund protection. Each factor is independently scored — the final rating reflects overall performance, not just one area.

A regulated broker holds a valid licence from a recognised financial authority such as the FCA (UK), ASIC (Australia), CySEC (Cyprus), or FSCA (South Africa). Regulated brokers must meet strict requirements around client fund segregation, fair execution, and financial reporting. Always verify directly on the regulator’s official website before depositing.

We monitor brokers continuously and update reviews whenever material changes occur — regulatory changes, new platforms, adjusted trading conditions, or significant shifts in customer feedback. Each review displays a “Last Updated” date.

Always verify: regulatory status, total trading costs, available platforms, deposit and withdrawal options, and customer support availability. Use our broker comparison tool to evaluate multiple brokers side by side.

We may cover offshore brokers for informational purposes but always clearly flag their regulatory status and associated risks. We strongly recommend trading only with tier-1 regulated brokers for maximum fund protection.

Full transparency: FX Recap partners with regulated brokers and may earn a commission when you open an account through our links. We are upfront about this on every relevant page.

Affiliate relationships do not determine our ratings. We apply the same standardised methodology to all brokers — affiliated or not. A poor broker receives a poor rating regardless of any commercial arrangement.

Our full affiliate disclosure is available on the Affiliate Disclosure page. Disclosure notices also appear on individual broker review pages where affiliate relationships exist.

We partner with a range of regulated Forex brokers. Affiliated brokers are clearly marked with a disclosure notice on their review pages. Affiliation does not guarantee a positive review — all brokers are assessed on identical criteria.

No. Our commission comes from the broker — not from you. Spreads, fees, and trading conditions are identical whether you arrive via our link or go directly to the broker’s website.

Forex trading carries significant risk. The majority of retail traders lose money. While it can be conducted responsibly with regulated brokers and proper risk management, it is never without risk.

Educate yourself thoroughly, practise with a demo account first, use only money you can afford to lose, and always trade with a fully regulated broker.

A demo account is a practice environment using virtual funds but real market conditions. It lets traders test strategies, learn platforms, and build confidence without risking real capital. Most regulated brokers offer free demo accounts — we recommend all beginners start here before going live.

No. FX Recap does not provide trading signals, investment advice, or recommendations to buy or sell specific currency pairs. We are an educational and review platform — not a financial advisory service. Always consult a licensed financial adviser for personalised guidance.

We publish recaps following each major trading session — Asian, European, and North American — typically within a few hours of session close. Coverage includes major pairs, key economic releases, central bank news, and notable price movements.

Our Education section covers how Forex markets work, understanding currency pairs, reading charts, managing risk, and selecting the right broker — all in plain language for beginners.

Every article follows four steps: source verification, fact checking, context analysis, and editorial review. Claims are cross-referenced with official regulatory filings, central bank statements, and verified broker data. We avoid speculation and do not publish content designed to drive trading decisions.

Editorial decisions are made entirely by our journalism team. No broker, advertiser, or commercial partner influences our coverage decisions, ratings, or conclusions. Commercial relationships are managed separately and always disclosed to readers.

We welcome experienced traders, financial professionals, and industry experts. Contact us with your background, writing samples, and topic ideas. All contributors must adhere to our editorial standards and disclosure requirements.

We periodically hire Forex writers, market analysts, editors, and digital marketing specialists. Visit our Careers page for current openings, or send a speculative application through our contact page.

Brokers cannot pay for a feature or a positive rating. Our review process is initiated independently based on relevance and reader demand. Regulated brokers may contact us with credentials — inclusion and rating decisions remain entirely at our editorial discretion.
