Who we are
OpesAdvisors is an editorial publication staffed by three full-time traders — one for forex, one for crypto, one for prop. Every review on the site is bylined by the analyst who tested the platform with their own funded account. There is no anonymous "editorial team" hiding behind initials; the work is signed.
We do not have a sales team, do not run sponsored sections, and do not let brokers preview reviews before publication. Reviews go live with the verdict we reach during testing — including the ones partners would prefer we soften.

How we work
Every broker, exchange or prop firm we review is tested against a 10-criterion scoring framework with fixed weights — safety, fees, platforms, accounts, deposits and withdrawals, instruments, support, research, education and mobile. The same framework, the same weights, the same testing windows apply to platforms that pay us a commission and platforms that do not.
The full criteria, weight distribution and testing protocol are published at methodology. Brokers that fail multiple criteria are flagged in brokers to avoid, regardless of any commercial relationship.
Our independence
OpesAdvisors is reader-supported. When a reader opens a live account with one of the brokers, exchanges or prop firms we cover, the platform may pay us an affiliate commission out of its marketing budget. The commission does not change your trading conditions, fees or onboarding flow — the cost is identical whether you arrive through our link or directly.
The commission is not visible to the analyst writing the review. Scoring decisions are made before the commercial terms are reviewed. The full revenue model — including what we will and will not do for partner platforms — is documented at how we make money.
Editorial standards
Every published article carries an Updated date and is re-tested at intervals appropriate to the platform's volatility — spread checks are weekly for active forex coverage, monthly for stable platforms, immediately on any regulatory change. Corrections are public: if we get something wrong, we update the page and note the correction at the bottom of the article.
Detail on the testing cadence and the correction policy: our methodology.
