Editorial Policy

The FxScouts mission is to create high-quality, factually correct, and meaningful educational content that furthers our readers’ interest in Forex trading.  We are journalists and write with journalistic integrity. Our research and review process is free from commercial bias and conflict of interest.

Journalistic Reputation & Integrity

Readers can trust our integrity and honest journalistic approach. We have many years of experience working in the Forex industry and our reviews and opinions are respected and trusted throughout the trading community – by traders and brokers alike. This reputation for honesty and intelligent critique is hardwon and stems from our journalistic integrity and strict editorial policies.

Impartiality

Readers can always trust our recommendations.  We pride ourselves on writing reviews that are 100% free of commercial bias and are written by experts who have hands-on experience, the context, and expertise to be able to make comparisons between these products.  Read more about how we review brokers.

Accuracy

Readers can always trust that our information is accurate.  The accuracy of our data and the services our partners offer are regularly reviewed.  Our algorithms update the broker’s scores and our State of the Market report on a continual basis, and our content team makes updates to our reviews when discrepancies are found.

Affiliate Disclosure

Readers should also know how we make our money.  FxScouts is a reader-supported magazine. When you sign up for an account through our links, we sometimes earn a commission, which enables us to continue making our website better for you.

Educational Articles

Readers must know how to use the information in our articles.  While the articles we feature are entirely accurate to the given situation, these articles cannot be viewed as individual investment advice. The Forex market is fluid and each trading opportunity and trader are unique. This means that our advice is tailored to the given situation expressed in the article, and our team is not able to give individualised legal, tax or investment advice to our visitors.

Attribution

Readers should know where our information has come from.  While all data is collected directly from partners, other third-party websites and journals can be used as a part of our research process. In this case, all sources will be cited at the bottom of each individual piece including the date the information was collected, along with the author and title of the piece.

User Comments

We encourage our readers to leave comments and engage in conversations beneath each of the articles or reviews we feature.  In order to keep the conversation helpful, and clean, we have issued comment editorial guidelines to help users understand what is appreciative behaviour.

Exposing Financial Scams

If you believe that you have been scammed by your brokers, we have a report a scam broker form where we collect information from the community and use this to start our own research into dishonest players.  All information is vetted thoroughly before publication to ensure accuracy.
