The FxScouts Group was founded to bring transparency and trust to the Forex trading industry. And in doing so, it is also important for our readers to understand our partnerships.
FxScouts was established to help beginner traders find the best possible broker for their needs. We create high-quality, factually correct, educational content that furthers our readers' understanding of Forex trading. True to our editorial policy, we are journalists and write with journalistic integrity, using a transparent review process free from commercial bias and conflict of interest.
How FxScouts Generates Revenue
FxScouts remains completely free for traders. We support our operations through partnerships with brokers and financial firms, structured as follows:
Affiliate Commissions: Some brokers pay us a commission when a user signs up via our links. These commissions do not affect our rankings, scores, or reviews in any way.
Fixed-Rate Advertising: Certain brokers choose to run display advertisements or sponsored placements, which are always labeled as ads to ensure full transparency.
💡 How This Affects You: Our partnerships never influence our rankings, and we refuse any deals that would compromise editorial integrity.
Our Commitment to Editorial Independence
At FxScouts, our independence is non-negotiable. We strictly separate our editorial team from our commercial operations, ensuring that our broker reviews, educational content, and rankings remain completely unbiased.
How We Maintain Integrity:
No Pay-to-Play: Brokers cannot buy higher rankings or manipulate reviews.
Data-Driven Evaluations: We use a weighted scoring system with over 200 metrics per broker.
Regulatory Compliance Only: We only feature brokers regulated by top-tier authorities such as the FCA (UK), ASIC (Australia), and CySEC (EU).
