Two columns and nothing between them
This publication does one narrow thing. It keeps a file on each trading platform it covers, with two columns in it: what readers report, and what the operator says when the report is put to it. Everything on the site grows out of those two columns, and when both are thin the report says so in its first lines.
That is a smaller promise than most sites in this field make, and it is kept deliberately small. A page that claims to know whether a platform is honest is either quoting a regulator or guessing. We quote where there is something to quote, and otherwise we describe the boundary of what we know.
What a report contains
Every report follows the same route, so two of them can be compared without learning a new layout. It opens with the state of the complaint file. It sets out the questions we put to the operator and whether anything came back. It describes the complaint shapes this category produces, marked plainly as patterns and not as allegations about the platform in hand. It lists what we could not establish. Then it turns practical: how to write a complaint that has to be answered, how to read the reply, and what to do in the first days if money has already gone.
Above the text of each report sits a card with the verdict, the date it was checked, and a list of the things we failed to confirm. Most of those cards say the same word, which is unverified. That word is not a euphemism for suspicion. It means we looked and found no record, and we would rather show you the gap than fill it.
What we do not publish
We do not rank platforms, score them out of ten, or maintain a list of recommended brokers. We do not print reviews we cannot trace to a person who wrote to us. We do not invent licence numbers, company names, countries of registration, deposit minimums or user counts, and where such a figure is missing from a report it is missing because we could not verify it.
We also do not tell anyone where to put money. Trading leveraged products can cost more than the sum deposited, and nothing on this site is advice about your own finances.
Right of reply stays open
Every operator covered here can answer, at any time, without conditions. A reply that addresses our questions is published next to them with the date it arrived, and if it shows something we wrote to be wrong, the correction says what changed rather than quietly replacing the text. That offer does not expire, and it costs nothing to take up.
