About The FX Know
Free, independent forex education — written to help you understand the market before you risk money in it.
Why we exist
Most people who start trading forex lose money — the EU regulator ESMA found that 74–89% of retail CFD accounts lose money — and many of them do so because they never learned how leverage, pip value and position size actually work. The FX Know explains those mechanics in plain English, with worked examples and calculators you can check yourself.
How we write
- Accuracy first. Every guide shows the date it was last reviewed, and regulatory rules and statistics link to their official source.
- No hype. We do not sell signals, courses or “systems”, and we never promise profits.
- Plain English. Every term is defined, and our glossary covers the rest.
How we make money
The site is free to read. In the future we may earn commissions when readers open an account with a broker through our links, and we may show advertising. Commissions never affect our ratings, and every affiliate link is labelled. See our affiliate disclosure.
