About the Independent Editorial Team Behind This Site
We answer to readers in the United Arab Emirates, not to the broker whose platform we review.
To our partnerHonour the obligation we take on
A review only has value if the person reading it can rely on it. That is the obligation this site takes on, and everything else follows from it. We publish an independent editorial resource that reviews the broker Forex.com for readers in the United Arab Emirates. We are not the broker. We are not affiliated with it, and we do not provide financial services, accounts, deposits or advice. Our role is narrower and simpler: we describe what we find, we explain how we checked it, and we leave the decision where it belongs - with you.
That independence is not a slogan we print at the bottom of a page. It shapes what we publish, what we decline to publish, and how the site pays its bills. This page sets out those rules so that you can judge the review on its merits and hold us to the standards we have stated.
Draw clear lines around what we will not do
We will not sell a verdict. No arrangement with any commercial party changes a score, a ranking or the wording of a page, and we do not offer anyone the chance to review a draft before publication or to have an unfavourable finding removed.
We will not present ourselves as something we are not. We do not claim to be regulated, licensed or endorsed by any authority, and we do not suggest that reading this site is a substitute for advice from a professional who knows your circumstances. We do not hold client money, open accounts, take deposits or execute trades. We do not tell you what to do with your money, and we do not predict what any market will do.
We also will not fill gaps with invention. If a fact has not been checked, we either say so or leave it out. We do not publish figures, dates or claims we cannot support, and we correct errors openly when we find them.
Show where the facts come from and how we check them
Our material is built from sources that a reader could, in principle, examine: the broker's own published terms, fee schedules and product documentation, together with the regulatory registers and public notices that apply to the markets it serves. Where we describe how a platform behaves, we rely on our own use of it rather than on marketing copy.
Checking means comparing. A fee quoted in one document is set against the schedule in another. A claim about permissions is tested against the public register. Where two sources disagree, we say that they disagree rather than picking the more convenient version. Anything we cannot verify is marked as unverified, and anything that rests on our own judgement is described as judgement.
Pay for the work without selling the verdict
The site is funded in ways that do not touch the content. Commercial arrangements, where they exist, are kept separate from the editorial process, and they never determine whether a broker is reviewed, how it is scored or what a page says. We do not accept payment for a favourable assessment, and we do not run a service that hides a poor finding behind a fee.
The test we apply is straightforward: if a commercial relationship disappeared tomorrow, the review would read the same. Where a page carries a commercial element, that is disclosed where a reader will see it. If we ever reach a point where the work cannot be funded without compromising that rule, we would rather reduce the work than break it.
Test and score the broker on stated criteria
We assess the broker against criteria we set out in advance: the costs a client actually pays, the quality and stability of the platform, the range of what is offered, how clear the terms are, and how the firm handles a query when something goes wrong. Each criterion is scored separately, so a reader can see where the strength and the weakness sit, then combined into an overall result using a published weighting.
Testing means using the platform as a client would: opening the interface, reading the fee schedule, following a support route, checking what the documents say against what the screen shows. The result is a description of what we observed on the dates stated. It is not a prediction, and it is not a recommendation.
Recognise the limits of a review
A review can tell you what an independent team found when it looked, on a particular day, using a particular method. It cannot tell you what will happen next, whether a platform will suit your experience, your time horizon or your tolerance for risk, or how a firm will behave in conditions none of us has seen. It cannot replace the terms and conditions, which remain the binding document, or advice from someone qualified to give it.
We revisit published pages on a regular cycle, and sooner when a fee, a term or a regulatory position changes. Each page carries the date it was last revised, so you can see how current it is. Where a change is significant, we say what changed.
This site exists because readers in the United Arab Emirates deserve an account of a broker that is written for them, in plain English, by people with no stake in the answer. It is for anyone weighing whether to use the platform and wanting to understand the costs and the conditions first. That is the whole of our purpose.
