1. General Disclaimer
InsideBrokers (operating at https://insidebrokers.com) is an independent financial research and broker comparison platform. All content published on this website — including broker reviews, ratings, comparisons, educational articles, tools, calculators, and any other material — is provided strictly for informational and educational purposes only.
InsideBrokers is not a licensed financial adviser, investment manager, broker-dealer, exchange, or financial services provider of any kind. We do not hold any financial services licence or regulatory authorisation in any jurisdiction. Nothing on this website should be construed as financial, investment, tax, legal, or trading advice.
You must not make any financial or investment decision based solely on information found on InsideBrokers. Always conduct thorough independent research and seek advice from a licensed, qualified financial professional before making any trading or investment decision.
2. No Financial Advice
The content on this website explicitly does not constitute, and should not be interpreted as, any of the following:
| Not Provided | What This Means |
|---|---|
| Financial or investment advice | We do not advise you on whether to invest or how to allocate capital |
| Trading recommendations | We do not recommend when to buy, sell, or hold any financial instrument |
| Broker suitability advice | A broker being featured or rated does not mean it is suitable for your specific needs |
| Tax or legal advice | We do not provide tax planning, legal, or accounting guidance |
| Portfolio management | We do not manage, advise on, or endorse any investment portfolio or strategy |
| Regulated financial services | We are not authorised to provide any regulated financial services in any jurisdiction |
All broker reviews, rankings, comparisons, and scores on InsideBrokers represent the independent editorial opinion of our research team at the time of publication and are based on our internal methodology. They are not personalised recommendations.
3. Risk Warning
3.1 General Market Risks
- Capital at risk: All forms of trading and investing involve the risk of losing some or all of your invested capital. You should only trade with money you can afford to lose entirely.
- Market volatility: Financial markets — including Forex, equities, commodities, and cryptocurrencies — can be highly volatile and may move rapidly against your position.
- Past performance: Historical returns, data, ratings, or performance metrics are not a reliable indicator of future results. Markets change continuously.
- No guaranteed returns: InsideBrokers makes no representation or warranty that using a reviewed broker or strategy will result in profit.
3.2 Leverage & CFD Risks
- Leverage amplifies losses: Leveraged instruments such as CFDs, Forex margin accounts, and spread betting amplify both gains and losses. You may lose more than your initial deposit.
- Retail loss rates: Regulatory disclosures from CFD providers indicate that between 60% and 80% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. This figure is disclosed by brokers on their websites pursuant to regulatory requirements.
- Margin calls: If your account equity falls below the required margin level, your broker may close your positions without prior notice.
3.3 Cryptocurrency Risks
- Extreme volatility: Cryptocurrency markets are highly speculative and can experience rapid price movements of 50% or more within short timeframes.
- Regulatory uncertainty: Cryptocurrency regulation differs significantly across jurisdictions and may change, potentially affecting the legality or value of holdings.
- Custodial risk: Holding cryptocurrency on an exchange involves counterparty risk. Exchanges have failed, been hacked, or frozen withdrawals in the past.
- No investor protection: Unlike regulated bank deposits, cryptocurrency holdings are typically not covered by government compensation schemes.
3.4 Forex Risks
- Currency risk: Exchange rates fluctuate based on macroeconomic factors, geopolitical events, and central bank policy, which may move against your position.
- Overnight financing: Holding leveraged Forex positions overnight incurs swap or rollover charges that can erode returns over time.
- Liquidity risk: During periods of extreme volatility or market closure, bid-ask spreads may widen significantly, increasing trading costs.
4. Affiliate & Commercial Disclosure
InsideBrokers generates revenue through affiliate marketing partnerships with regulated brokers and financial services companies. We are required by law and best practice to disclose this to you clearly.
4.1 How Affiliate Relationships Work
| Element | Detail |
|---|---|
| What triggers a commission | When a user clicks an affiliate link and subsequently opens a live trading account or makes a qualifying deposit with a broker partner |
| Cost to you | None. Affiliate commissions are paid by the broker, not deducted from your account or deposit in any way |
| Commission structure | Varies by partner. May be a one-time CPA (cost per acquisition), revenue share, or hybrid model |
| Tracking mechanism | Unique click IDs embedded in URLs or stored in cookies (see our Privacy Policy for details) |
| Which links are affiliate links | Any "Visit Broker", "Open Account", "Get Started", or similar call-to-action button linking to a broker platform may be an affiliate link |
| Effect on broker terms | None. The terms, spreads, and conditions offered by the broker are identical whether you access them through our link or directly |
4.2 Advertiser Disclosure
Some broker partners may pay for inclusion in certain sections of the website, such as promoted placements in tools or "sponsored" labels. Where this occurs, it will be clearly labelled. Paid placements do not affect broker review scores, star ratings, or editorial rankings — these are determined solely by our independent research methodology.
We maintain a strict separation between our commercial team and our editorial/research team. For full details on how we manage this separation, see our Editorial Policy.
5. Editorial Independence
Our broker evaluation methodology is applied consistently and objectively to every broker we review. The criteria we use — including regulatory status, fee structure, trading platform quality, product range, investor protection, and customer support — are applied identically regardless of whether a broker has an affiliate relationship with us.
Key safeguards we maintain:
- Review scores are calculated algorithmically based on objective data points, not editorial opinion alone
- Affiliate revenue from a broker has no bearing on that broker's ranking position
- We review and feature brokers that do not have affiliate agreements with us
- Negative findings (high fees, weak regulation, poor platforms) are published and reflected in scores regardless of commercial relationships
- Our editorial team operates under a formal Editorial Policy that prohibits conflicts of interest
6. Accuracy & Currency of Information
We invest significant resources in ensuring the accuracy of our broker reviews, fee data, and educational content. However, the following limitations apply:

| Completeness | Reviews may not cover every feature, asset class, or account type offered by a broker |
| Fee accuracy | Spreads, commissions, and other fees listed are indicative and sourced from broker disclosures. Actual costs may vary based on account type, volume, and market conditions |
| Regulatory changes | Regulatory licensing status may change. Always verify a broker's current regulatory status directly with the relevant regulator before depositing funds |
