We verify licenses, check regulatory history, and assess fund protection measures.
Meet Our Team
Ryan Mitchell
Founder & Editor-in-ChiefRyan brings over 5 years of active forex trading experience and a solid foundation in finance and economics. His journey from a curious beginner to a seasoned trader inspired him to create Beginner FX Guide — a resource he wished existed when he started.
Having traded with dozens of brokers (both regulated US brokers and offshore platforms), Ryan understands the unique challenges American traders face. He personally tests every broker reviewed on this site, ensuring our recommendations are based on real trading experience, not marketing materials.
Editorial Independence
While we may earn commissions from some broker links, this never influences our reviews or ratings. We maintain strict editorial independence and will always prioritize our readers' interests. Brokers cannot pay for favorable reviews or higher rankings.
