Our Mission
To democratize forex education by providing free, high-quality, and unbiased trading knowledge to aspiring traders worldwide. We believe that everyone should have access to professional-grade educational resources without paywalls, hidden fees, or conflicts of interest.
ForexBasics.org was founded on the principle that quality forex education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. We've witnessed too many traders lose money not because of market conditions, but because they lacked proper education and risk management understanding.
Our platform bridges that knowledge gap by offering comprehensive guides, interactive calculators, and honest broker comparisons—all completely free and without requiring registration or personal information.
What We Stand For
Education First
We prioritize education over profit. No trading signals, no "get rich quick" schemes—just solid, proven trading principles.
Transparency
Clear disclaimers, honest risk warnings, and unbiased information. We disclose all affiliations and never hide important information.
Quality Content
Every article is researched, fact-checked, and reviewed by experienced trading professionals with 10+ years in the markets.

We listen to our users and continuously improve based on feedback. Your success is our success.
Accessibility
No paywalls, no registration requirements, no spam. Just free, accessible education for everyone, everywhere.

Educational Philosophy
Our educational approach is built on three pillars:
1. Foundation First
We believe in building a solid foundation before moving to advanced topics. Our structured learning path ensures you understand core concepts like pips, lots, leverage, and margin before exploring complex strategies.
2. Risk Management Above All
The most important skill in trading isn't finding winning trades—it's managing risk. We emphasize position sizing, stop losses, and capital preservation in every lesson because protecting your capital is more important than chasing profits.
3. Realistic Expectations
We're honest about the challenges of forex trading. We discuss failure rates, the impact of emotions, and the years of practice required to become consistently profitable. This honesty helps you make informed decisions about whether forex trading is right for you.
Revenue Model Transparency
You might wonder: "If everything is free, how does ForexBasics.org operate?" We believe in complete transparency:
- Affiliate Relationships: We may earn referral fees when users sign up with brokers through our comparison pages. However, this never influences our educational content or broker rankings, which are based solely on objective criteria.
- Display Advertising: We may display contextually relevant advertisements to help cover hosting and development costs.
- No Selling Your Data: We never sell user data or email lists to third parties.
Our editorial team operates independently from any revenue considerations. Content quality and educational value are our only priorities.
