FBS Research is an independent editorial resource for traders researching FBS. This website is not operated by FBS and is not an official broker support channel. Our aim is to make broker information easier to verify, compare and understand before anyone risks money.
What we publish
Our research focuses on the practical questions traders ask before and after opening an account: which legal entity provides the service, how spreads and commissions combine, how swaps change holding costs, which trading platforms are available, and what can cause deposit or withdrawal delays.
- Independent FBS reviews and regulatory verification guides.
- Examples of trading costs, including spread, commissions and overnight financing.
- Platform tutorials for MetaTrader and risk-management basics.
- Funding, identity-verification and common account troubleshooting guides.
- Educational comparisons that identify assumptions and limitations.
Our editorial approach
We distinguish broker claims from independently checkable information. Where possible, guides explain how readers can locate official legal, regulatory and contract specifications themselves. Financial conditions can vary with jurisdiction, account type, instrument, market conditions and date; a single advertised figure is not an assurance of what any trader will pay.
Detailed procedures, source selection and correction practices are described in our Research Methodology. Readers can begin with the FBS Review or use the Broker Cost Comparison tool, paying attention to its input assumptions.
Independence, commercial relationships and risk
Some links may be affiliate links; we may earn compensation if a reader chooses to use them. This relationship does not make the website an official FBS website and should not be treated as a recommendation for every trader. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
Forex and CFD trading involves substantial risk, especially when leverage is used. Our content is educational and does not constitute personal investment, tax or legal advice. Always verify terms with the relevant broker entity and consider whether trading is appropriate for your circumstances.
