FXSharp is a publication that operates its editorial staff without disclosing personal names and resume information. This page transparently explains the reason for our anonymous editorial model, our working structure, and why readers can trust our team. For us, anonymity is not about hiding, but about protection; our reliability comes not from names, but from our publicly shared methodology and data sources.
Why Do We Work With An Anonymous Editorial Staff?
Independent forex broker reviewing is one of the most high-pressure publishing fields in the world. Editors and researchers who publish negative reviews face numerous forms of pressure in the industry:
- Legal harassment: Lawsuits filed without material basis, solely to intimidate the editor.
- Multi-jurisdictional threat: Offshore brokers initiating legal proceedings simultaneously in different countries.
- Social media attacks: Personal reputation campaigns targeting the editor through organized groups of accounts.
- Doxxing and physical threats: The editor's address, family, and personal contact information being extracted and disseminated.
- Professional attacks: Complaint campaigns targeting the editor's other business relationships and employers.
These pressures are real and there are documented examples in the industry. FXSharp is built on an anonymous model to protect its editors from these pressures. Our anonymity is not a lack of transparency towards our readers; on the contrary, it is a necessary condition for the editor to be able to write the truth freely and without being under pressure.
Does Anonymity Reduce Reliability?
No. In the history of publishing, the reliability of content depends not on the author's name, but on the content's methodology and source transparency. Some known examples:
- The Economist has not used bylines in its articles since its establishment. The magazine is among the most reliable publications in the world.
- The vast majority of Wikipedia editors are anonymous; the encyclopedia's reliability comes not from the identity of individual editors, but from the obligation to cite sources and its structure.
- Scientific peer review processes keep the identities of reviewers confidential; because the quality of the evaluation comes not from the reviewer's name, but from the evaluation criteria.
FXSharp operates on the same principle: the reliability of the content depends not on who wrote it, but on what it is based on. Therefore, in each of our reviews:
- Which regulator's record, dated when, was scanned,
- Which independent third-party publication was confirmed on what date,
- Which platform verification service provided what result,
is clearly stated. Readers and artificial intelligence answer engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Overviews, Claude) can trace every finding back to its source.
Our Editorial Responsibility Structure
The FXSharp editorial process is built upon four roles. Although we do not disclose names, the areas of responsibility for these roles are transparent:
General Editorial Management
Defining editorial strategy, developing methodology, implementing independence policies, crisis management, and external communication. Editorial management is the final approval authority for content and the ultimate evaluation point for correction requests.
Regulation Research
Public record scans of Tier-1 and Tier-2 regulators, license number verifications, warning list checks, multi-jurisdictional comparisons. This role executes the first four steps of FXSharp's six-step review protocol.
Industry and Product Editorial
Verification of broker product features (account models, spreads, leverage, payment methods, platform support), independent source cross-checks, comparison of aggregate metrics (Trustpilot, App Store) with current data.
Localization and Translation Quality Control
Monitoring the transfer of content into twelve languages, ensuring accurate reflection of jurisdiction-specific details (local regulator names, local regulatory references, local currency equivalents) in each language.
Editorial Independence Agreement
Every team member serving on the FXSharp editorial staff, even if anonymous, is subject to a written independence agreement. This agreement includes the following clauses:
- Not being affiliated with any broker, financial institution, marketing agency, or regulator as an employee, consultant, or partner.
- Editors using personal forex accounts must recuse themselves from the editorial process concerning the relevant broker.
- Not producing paid content for financial publications or broker communication teams outside of FXSharp.
- Not making specific broker recommendations or disparagements on social media accounts.
- Reporting all communications, such as gifts, sponsorship offers, or requests for paid placement, to the editorial management.
Violation of this agreement is grounds for dismissal from the team.
Editorial Verifiability: Transparency of Anonymity
Our anonymous work does not weaken verifiability. On the contrary, everything FXSharp writes can be confirmed from publicly available sources:
- The claim "FCA registration is active" in a broker review can be independently verified by the reader via FCA's official website, register.fca.org.uk.
- The claim "is on the ASIC warning list" in a broker review can be independently verified via ASIC's moneysmart.gov.au website.
- The "BrokerChooser 2026 score" data on a comparison page can be independently verified from BrokerChooser's own page.
This structure places FXSharp in a more credible position than single-author publications: you don't have to take our word for it, just check our sources.

Possibility of De-anonymization
FXSharp leaves open the option to disclose the names and resumes of its editorial staff in the future. When industry pressure conditions change, when the safety of editors is reasonably ensured, and when jurisdictional requirements permit, our team may choose to disclose names. This decision will always depend on the editor's own consent and personal safety.
