About Us

The team behind ForexRating.com is a group of highly experienced forex professionals. Each member has over a decade of experience in the global forex industry. Each of us saw that the current ratings and reviews for forex brokers was scattered, making it difficult for users to find accurate information. We decided to change that by creating a single resource that provides all the information a trader needs regarding global forex brokers, all in one place. We are putting an end to the confusion regarding information and ratings of forex brokers. With the resources being provided here traders will be able to make a more informed and accurate decision when choosing a broker.

With that in mind we have put a great amount of time, effort, and resources into the creation of the most accurate rating system available for the forex industry. Because we have extensive experience in the industry we are aware that a simple rating system doesn’t always give a complete picture. That led us to design our rating system very carefully from the ground up, including each important part to ensure accuracy. The team is striving to make a ratings system that gives a transparent picture for users and leaves no piece of the puzzle missing.

All of this means we also need to be concerned with informing new traders of the importance of various features. We are also working to warn our users away from the businesses that aren’t reliable and trustworthy. And so, in addition to the creation of the best online ratings system for the forex industry we have made these things our mission:

•  Inform and protect new traders
•  Expose potentially fraudulent forex businesses
•  Provide transparency into the forex industry

A good part of this is being done through our proprietary tools and analysis. Typically these things are only available through expensive subscriptions. However we feel that everyone should have access to the analysis and tools that help create successful traders. So we offer them for free. We can do this by subsidizing their cost through the advertisements you see on our site. And it is important to note that we never accept compensation of any type for placement in our ratings, or for the improvement of any broker rating. You can learn more about how our ratings are generated here [link to Ratings page]. We welcome any suggestions you might have to improve our website and services. Please feel free to contact us through the form below.
