Market news, all day
A newsroom that tracks currencies, commodities, indices and crypto around the clock, so a move is explained while it still matters.
Who we are
About traderpublic
traderpublic is a young independent project covering finance and investing — market news, broker research, analysis and education, with the interface published in seven languages and the articles in English and Thai.
It exists to help readers lose less money to avoidable mistakes: an unregulated broker, a fee buried in a terms page, a position sized on hope. It is also new, and parts of it were written to demonstrate an interface rather than to report anything. Those parts are labelled where they appear, and this page says which they are rather than leaving you to find out.
Our mission
To make financial markets legible to ordinary people — so that a reader who arrived knowing nothing can leave understanding what is happening, what it costs, and what could go wrong.

What we do
Six areas, one editorial standard — some running, some still ahead
Broker research
A published checklist — fees, regulation, execution, withdrawals, support — that every company will be scored against once there is a company here to score.
Analysis and forecasts
Technical and fundamental reviews with their assumptions stated out loud, plus price scenarios that are revisited rather than left standing.
Education that starts at zero
Guides, glossaries and worked examples for readers who have never placed a trade — and for those refining a strategy.
Quote and forecast pages
Layouts for rates, movers and session summaries across pairs, metals, indices and digital assets. The prices in them are placeholders until a market feed is connected.
Reader reviews
Planned, not open. When it launches it will take first-hand accounts from confirmed funded accounts, alongside our own findings rather than instead of them.
Our story
Short, recent, and told with the awkward parts left in
- Early 2026
An interface, before there was a publication
traderpublic began as a study of how a financial-media site is put together: the layouts, the ratings furniture, the way a broker profile is laid out. Everything in it was written to fill the shapes — companies, scores, staff and all.
- August 2026
The impersonations came out
The first pass had carried staff names and biographies lifted from a real publisher. They were removed and replaced with people who plainly do not exist, which is a smaller wrong but still a wrong, so they are now labelled wherever they appear.
- August 2026
A newsroom that publishes something real
The site was wired to an editorial system over an authenticated endpoint. Articles delivered that way — including broker reviews with their licence records attached — are the first content here that was reported rather than invented.
- August 2026
The ratings page stopped pretending
The broker ranking was withdrawn. The six profiles behind it are kept as illustrations, marked as invented, excluded from search and from any list that orders or recommends. Nothing is published as a rating until a licence has been checked against the regulator that issued it.
- Next
Something worth ranking
One firm, checked properly, is a better first rating than six written from nothing. The methodology below is what that check will have to satisfy.
How we will evaluate companies
The standard a traderpublic rating has to clear before it is published
A rating is only useful if you can see how it was built. Ours will come from a fixed scorecard applied the same way to every brokerage and exchange covered, and it is published here before the first score is, so it can be argued with while it still costs nothing to change.
No company has been through it yet. When one has, a bad score will be published with the evidence behind it, and a claim that could not be checked will be marked unchecked rather than repeated from a marketing page.
What we publish about brokers →- A licence checked at the sourceEvery registration claim traced to the register the regulator publishes, and recorded as unchecked where it has not been.
- Scored criteria, published firstRegulation, fees, execution quality, platform features, funding and withdrawal terms, support responsiveness — the scorecard goes up before the first score does.
- Accounts opened by usConditions read from a funded account we control rather than from a marketing page: real orders, real withdrawal requests, timed end to end.
- A second pair of eyesFigures, dates and quoted terms confirmed against primary sources by an editor who did not write the piece.
- Ratings that expireA score is re-examined on a fixed cycle, and immediately if regulation or ownership changes. A rating nobody has revisited is a rating nobody stands behind.
A note from our Editor-in-Chief

Marcus F.
Editor-in-Chief, traderpublic
I have spent my working life in journalism, most of it writing about money. What drew me to traderpublic was a simple editorial rule: we do not publish anything we would not be comfortable defending to a reader who acted on it.
Reporting the news is the easy half. The harder half is making the news useful — separating a headline that changes your risk from one that only feels urgent. That is the work our desks do every day, and it is why every analytical piece here passes through an editor and a fact-checker before it is published.
Markets move faster than anyone can responsibly guess at. We would rather be right an hour later than first and wrong.

Our principles
What every desk is held to
Timeliness
A market story loses most of its value overnight. We publish while a reader can still act on what they have learned.
Accuracy
Numbers come from primary sources, and where a claim has not been checked we say so instead of repeating it.
Independence
There is no advertising on this site and no commercial relationship with any brokerage. If that changes, it is disclosed here before it reaches a page.
Plain language
Finance is complicated enough. We explain the mechanism instead of hiding behind the vocabulary.
Transparency
The scoring model, the review policy and the parts of this site that were written rather than researched are all published and open to challenge.
Responsibility
We write about money people cannot afford to lose, and we treat risk warnings as part of the story, not a footnote.
Disclosure. traderpublic is a demo media project. It is not a broker, does not provide investment advice and does not accept client funds. Trading in leveraged products carries a high risk of loss; only risk capital you can afford to lose.
