What is the FXSharp advertising disclosure?
The FXSharp advertising disclosure explains how the site is funded and how paid content is marked, so readers can tell editorial content and commercial content apart. Broker reviews, scores and rankings are produced by the editorial team with the published methodology, from regulator registers and verified broker data. Commercial content, where it exists, is labeled where it appears and listed on this page.
What commercial relationships does FXSharp have today?
As of 30 September 2026, FXSharp has no advertising, sponsorship or affiliate agreements with the brokers and prop firms it reviews, and the site shows no paid placements. Outbound links to broker websites do not carry affiliate or referral parameters. When a commercial relationship starts, it is added to this page with its type and start date.
How is paid content labeled?
Paid content is marked where the reader sees it, not only in a footer or on this page.
- Advertising: display ads carry an "Ad" label at the placement.
- Sponsored placements: a paid position in a list, a table or a page section carries a "Sponsored" label on the placement itself.
- Partner links: a link that can earn FXSharp a commission is marked as a partner link next to the link.
How are review scores calculated?
Review scores are calculated with the published methodology. For brokers the weights are Regulation 25%, License 20%, Risk Control 20%, Business 15%, Software 10% and Influence 10%; prop firms have a separate rubric. The inputs are regulator registers, warning lists, enforcement records and broker data verified against primary sources. Advertising and partnership agreements are not inputs to the methodology.
How are broker communications handled?
Broker communications received at info@fxsharp.com fall into three categories, each with a fixed handling rule.
- Information updates: a broker reports that a published spec is outdated (a changed minimum deposit, a new platform, an added jurisdiction, a closed account type). The update is verified against the broker's own help centre and against the regulator register where applicable, then published with a date-stamped note.
- Factual corrections: a broker disputes a specific claim and cites a verifiable primary source (regulator URL, court filing, official press release, audited filing). Substantiated corrections produce a documented revision inside the published 48-hour service-level target.
- Requests without primary-source evidence: a deletion or revision request without a primary source is declined, and the disputed claim stays in the review with its existing source citation.
Brokers can also claim a free company profile to reply to client reviews and complaints on the site and to send corrections with evidence from their dashboard.
How can readers check what is paid?
The commercial status of any page can be checked without contacting the editorial team.
- Labels at the placement: paid content carries an "Ad", "Sponsored" or partner-link label where it appears.
- This page: every current commercial relationship is listed here with its type and start date.
- The review itself: each review shows its score breakdown and the register checks behind it, so a score can be traced to public records.
