About This Guide: Who Publishes It, How It Is Funded, and How Corrections Work

This guide is published by an independent editorial team focused on Filipino readers who use apps and digital wallets.

This guide is published by an independent editorial team, not a broker

This guide is written and maintained by an independent editorial team that covers forex education for readers in the Philippines. The team is not a broker, does not execute trades, and does not hold client funds. Its only job is to explain how forex works in plain language and point you to official sources for checks that matter.

Because the guide is independent, it does not rank brokers or tell you which platform is best. Broker-specific details such as spreads, fees, minimum deposits and funding methods change often and belong on the broker's own pages. When you need those numbers, check the broker's funding page and the GCash app directly.

The editorial team writes for people who are comfortable with apps and digital wallets. That means examples use PHP (₱), Philippine Time (PHT, UTC+8), and payment rails such as GCash, Maya, InstaPay, PESONet, bank transfer and card where relevant. If a topic needs a number that is not verified, the guide tells you where to look instead of guessing.

Funding comes from general editorial support, not from broker placements

This guide is funded through general editorial support. That means the costs of writing, checking and updating pages are covered without selling broker placements, sponsored rankings or paid reviews. No broker pays to be mentioned, and no broker approves the text before it goes live.

Because there is no broker funding, the guide does not promise profit or estimate returns. Forex involves risk, and any page that suggests otherwise is not following this guide's rules. If you see a claim about earnings, treat it as a red flag and check the broker against the SEC Philippines list of registered entities at sec.gov.ph.

Funding also does not buy influence over corrections. If a page is wrong, it gets fixed on the merits, not because a funder or partner prefers different wording. That separation is what keeps the guide useful for readers who just want clear, calm explanations.

Corrections are handled by checking official sources first

If you spot an error, the first step is to check the official source. For broker registration, that is the SEC Philippines list of registered entities at sec.gov.ph. For payment details, that is the broker's funding page or the GCash app. For regulatory position, confirm the current SEC advisory and whether the BSP has any say before treating a platform as allowed.

Once you have checked, send the correction with the page URL, the exact sentence, and the official source that shows the correct position. The editorial team reviews it against the verified facts. If the page contradicts an official source, the page is updated. If the page is already correct, you get a short reply explaining why.

Corrections are not hidden. When a factual change is made, the page is updated so future readers see the corrected version. The guide does not invent authors, awards, testimonials or statistics to make a correction look better. The goal is simple: keep the Philippine-specific facts accurate and the guidance honest.

What this guide will and will not do for Filipino readers

This guide will explain session hours in local time, such as Sydney 06:00-15:00 PHT, Tokyo 08:00-17:00 PHT, London 16:00-01:00 PHT, and New York 21:00-06:00 PHT. It will also point out the London/New York overlap at 21:00-01:00 PHT, which is often when activity picks up. These are facts about timing, not signals to trade.

This guide will not claim a specific broker is licensed, safe or best. It will not invent fees, limits, minimum deposits or tax rates. Where a number is needed, it tells you to check sec.gov.ph, the broker's funding page, or the GCash app. That keeps the guide useful without pretending to know things it does not.

This guide will also not promise or estimate profit. Forex carries risk, and the guide treats that as a baseline. If you want to check whether a platform is registered, start with the SEC Philippines list. If you want to check payment options, start with the broker's funding page and your wallet app.

Trading forex and CFDs on margin carries a high risk of losing more than you deposit. Most retail accounts lose money. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
