Our team is comprised of professional traders with extensive experience in the forex market. We have been trading for over 10 years and have helped over 600,000 readers to find the most reliable forex broker for them.

So, why do we do it? For starters, we were once in your position. As new traders, we were confused by the sheer number of forex brokers around and we struggled to understand the fees and the jargon that brokers use in their terms and conditions. We’d also heard horror stories (and experienced a few ourselves) of seemingly legit forex brokers who turned out to be less genuine than they appeared. We knew there had to be a better way.

After having gained several years of trading experience, we developed a reliable way of testing brokers that gave us consistent results. We’d also started receiving questions from other traders. Which brokers do we prefer? Which brokers are the very best? How can you tell?

Forex trading involves the purchase and/or sale of currencies. Just like with stocks, you buy a currency and then sell it when its value has increased or vice versa. It sometimes might seem a little more difficult because currencies are traded in pairs, which means you will be using one currency to purchase another. So, if you are trading EUR/USD, for example, you will buy EUR for USD.

In binary trading, you are basically betting that the underlying asset will go either up or down over a certain period of time. The only way you can make a profit is if you’re right. If you’re wrong, you lose. The profit is also fixed.

Conversely, in forex trading, you can still make a profit even if you are partially right. So, with binary trading, if you bet on the fact that the EUR/USD will rise over 1.3250 over the next three days, even if it rises continuously but experiences a momentary drop to below 1.3250 precisely at the moment when your trade closes, you’ve lost. With forex trading, you can exit the market the moment you see the trade starting to go in the opposite direction and still make a profit.
