FXContext explained

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about ratings, broker profiles, market coverage and how FXContext works.

01

Ratings and comparisons

What does an FXContext rating measure?

It is an evidence-based assessment for a defined legal entity, jurisdiction, client category and methodology version. It is not personal financial advice or a promise about future service.

Why can the same broker have different ratings?

A brand may serve clients through different legal entities. Regulation, protections, products and account terms can change by jurisdiction, so FXContext keeps those contexts separate.

Is the global score a ranking?

No. It is a non-ranking overview of current published jurisdiction ratings. Each eligible jurisdiction counts once, while Not rated contexts are excluded. Rankings remain jurisdiction-specific and compare only like-for-like records.

What does Not rated mean?

No current numerical rating is available for that context. It is not a zero, a negative finding or proof that the broker is unavailable.

Are Top Brands and Prospective Brands compared together?

No. They use separate assessment tracks and are not placed in one ranking. The Prospective route has fewer criteria but retains the same 80% minimum evidence-coverage threshold.

02

Profiles and markets

Does a profile confirm that a broker accepts clients where I live?

No. A profile records the evidence FXContext has verified for a stated context. Client acceptance and product access must be confirmed with the relevant legal entity and official documents.

Why is a country missing from the rating selector?

FXContext adds a market only when it can maintain a clear entity, authority, client-category and evidence context. A missing market means coverage has not been activated, not that every broker is unavailable there.

Which markets are being considered next?

Canada, India, Malaysia and the Philippines are in the coverage research queue. They will not enter the rating selector until the required evidence and editorial capacity are in place.

Is a broker listed because it asked to be included?

Not necessarily. FXContext may select brands independently as editorial benchmarks or research candidates. A profile does not imply contact, participation, payment or endorsement.

03

Independence and corrections

Is FXContext a broker or trading platform?

No. FXContext is an independent Forex information publisher. It does not operate a trading platform, open trading accounts or accept client deposits.

How can I verify an FXContext website or contact?

Use the Official FXContext channels page to check the website, email addresses and public profiles currently presented by FXContext.

Can a broker pay for a higher score?

No. Funding may support evidence collection, verification and scheduled maintenance. It cannot buy points, change weights, control conclusions or guarantee publication.

Can a broker correct its profile?

A broker may submit factual evidence and take part in a factual check. FXContext decides whether the evidence changes the record; the broker does not control the score or editorial conclusion.

How does FXContext handle warnings about a broker?

We look for official regulator records, match them to the exact entity and state whether the item is a warning, allegation, decision, settlement or other action. Unsupported accusations are not published as facts.

How can I report an error?

Use the corrections page and identify the page, statement and supporting source. Material corrections are reviewed and recorded transparently.
