About Us

About Stocks News

Welcome to Stocks News — an independent financial review and news website covering trading platforms, forex brokers, cryptocurrency news, and stock market analysis. Established in 2024, we have published in-depth investigations into more than a dozen online trading platforms and continue to expand our coverage.

Our Mission

Our mission is to give retail traders and investors honest, unbiased, and thoroughly researched information about the platforms they use. We believe that transparency in the financial services industry is essential — and our independence from any broker or platform makes that transparency possible.

Editorial Team

Our editorial team combines decades of experience across financial journalism, trading, regulatory compliance, and technology research. Every review on Stocks News is researched, written, and fact-checked by qualified contributors:

  • Stocks News Editorial Team — Senior analysts and writers covering trading platforms, broker due diligence, and financial technology. The team brings combined experience in equity research, FX market analysis, and cryptocurrency markets.
  • Research Contributors — Independent traders and former compliance officers who help us assess regulation, risk management, and platform reliability.
  • Fact-Checking Desk — A dedicated review pass for every published piece, verifying claims about regulation, fees, and platform features against primary sources.

Our Review Methodology

Every trading platform review on Stocks News follows a structured, repeatable process designed to surface real differences between brokers — not marketing claims. Our methodology covers:

  1. Regulation & Licensing — We verify each platform against public regulator databases (FCA, CySEC, ASIC, BaFin, FINRA, SEC and others) and document license numbers where applicable.
  2. Security & Fund Safety — We assess segregated client funds, investor compensation schemes, encryption, two-factor authentication, and historical security incidents.
  3. Trading Conditions — Spreads, commissions, overnight fees, withdrawal fees, minimum deposits, available instruments, and execution model are compared to industry benchmarks.
  4. Platform Experience — We open real (or demo where required) accounts to evaluate the registration process, interface usability, mobile experience, and customer support responsiveness.
  5. Reputation & User Feedback — We aggregate verified user reviews and look for patterns across Trustpilot, Reddit, regulator warnings, and public records.

Editorial Independence

Stocks News is not owned by, affiliated with, or financially controlled by any of the brokers or platforms we review. Some links on the site may be affiliate links, but affiliate relationships never influence our ratings or conclusions. If a platform we cover compensates us, that relationship is disclosed and our editorial team is firewalled from commercial discussions.
