This section is for broker reviews, comparisons, complaints, and general discussion about trading conditions. If you've had a real experience with a broker - good or bad - this is the place to talk about it.
Before posting, it's worth checking if we've already reviewed the broker you're asking about - we cover the most commonly used ones and flag anything worth knowing upfront: forexroasted.com/brokers
Basic conduct
Keep it factual. If a broker screwed you over, say exactly what happened: dates, account type, what support said. A detailed complaint is useful. "They're a scam" with nothing behind it isn't.
No personal attacks on other members. Disagree with someone's broker choice all you want, just don't make it personal.
Don't dismiss people's bad experiences because you've had a different one. Both can be true at the same time.
Promotion & advertising
Do not promote a broker, IB deal, referral link, or affiliate offer without admin approval. This includes posting your ref link "just to share," recommending the same broker across multiple threads, or creating threads that are clearly just lead generation.
If you work for or are affiliated with a broker you're discussing, say so upfront. Astroturfing gets you permanently banned.
Unsolicited DMs pushing broker sign-ups will result in an immediate ban.
Posting standards
When reviewing a broker, give actual context - how long you've traded with them, what account type, which platform, and what region you're in. Conditions vary.
Don't post unverified withdrawal issues as confirmed scams without evidence. Accusations stick, so make sure yours are backed up.
Regulation status matters - mention it when it's relevant. There's a difference between an FCA-regulated broker and an offshore one, and people deserve to know which they're dealing with.
Other things that'll get your post removed
Fake reviews - positive or negative. If it looks planted, it goes.
Discussing brokers that have nothing to do with retail forex trading.
Posting broker promotions, bonus offers, or contest announcements without admin sign-off.
Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated.
Not sure if something crosses the line ā> message a mod before posting.
