About ForexBasics

Who This Site Is For

Most forex content online is wrapped around a sales pitch: a broker, a signals service, a paid mentorship, an automated robot. This site is the opposite. There is nothing to buy here, no email gate, and no "VIP" tier. The goal is simply to explain pips, leverage, position sizing, support and resistance, and the rest of the genuine fundamentals in language a beginner can follow.

The typical reader is somewhere between hearing about forex for the first time and opening their first demo account. If you are already a professional FX trader, this is probably too basic for you.

What This Site Covers

The content is grouped into four areas:

• Learn: A structured beginner path covering market mechanics, currency pairs, pips and lots, leverage, market hours, and risk management.
• Tools: Browser-only calculators for position size, pip value, profit/loss, margin, pivot points, and Fibonacci levels. Inputs stay on your device.
• Brokers: A neutral guide to choosing a broker — what regulation actually means, how to read a spread, what fund segregation is — without ranked tables or affiliate links.
• Glossary: An A–Z dictionary of forex and CFD terminology with short, practical examples.

What This Site Is Not

• Not a trading signal service.
• Not a brokerage or an introducing broker. We do not handle deposits, withdrawals, or trades.
• Not a paid course, mentorship, or "trading academy."
• Not personalised financial, tax, or legal advice. Everything is general educational information.
• Not a forecast, news, or analysis site. Currency price predictions are not part of the editorial scope.

Forex and CFD trading are high-risk activities. Most retail accounts lose money. Nothing on this site should be read as a recommendation to trade or to use any specific broker.

Editorial Approach

Content is written and maintained by the ForexBasics editorial team — anonymous by design. The site is operated as a small independent publisher rather than around any individual personal brand. Every published page goes through the same internal checklist:

• Foundations first. A new reader should be able to start at Forex 101 and follow a sensible order without prerequisite jargon.
• Risk is non-optional. Pages that discuss strategy or position sizing always lead with capital protection, never with "potential returns."
• No specific advice. We do not name specific currencies to buy or sell, do not promise outcomes, and do not encourage particular brokers.
• General sources only. Where pages reference market behaviour or industry practice, they describe the general consensus rather than citing proprietary data we don't own.
• Plain English. Technical terms are introduced once, then linked to the glossary.

Pages are reviewed periodically and the "Last reviewed" date at the bottom of each article reflects the most recent editorial pass.

How the Site Is Funded

Running a free site has hosting and maintenance costs. To cover those, ForexBasics may display contextual advertisements through Google AdSense and similar networks. Ads do not influence which lessons exist or what they say — the editorial workflow and the ad layer are separate.

The site does not currently operate paid affiliate links to brokers. If that ever changes, it will be disclosed clearly on the affected pages and in the Disclaimer. You can also review our Privacy Policy for how visitor data is handled and our Cookie Policy for the cookies that ads and analytics use.
