The Ultimate Broker Awards
We created ThePipScout.com in 2016, and our goal then was the same as it is today: to become the premier destination for unbiased awards of international forex brokers.
In pursuit of our mission – to provide independent, unbiased reviews of international forex brokers and in-depth guides covering the global forex industry – we’ve conducted thousands of hours of research, collected many thousands of data points, handwritten hundreds of thousands of words, and developed proprietary algorithms and powerful tools.
Why Trust Us?
Unbiased.
Our research, testing, evaluations, and editorial content decisions at ThePipScout are independent of our marketing and affiliate partnerships.
“Pay-to-play” isn’t in our vocabulary, and we never allow advertising data or marketing information to influence our content or our editorial decisions (our content, research, and data teams do not have access to marketing information).
At ThePipScout, we won’t recommend a broker or product just because we are being paid to do so, and we won’t highlight any features or services specifically to gain or maintain paid partnerships. Ever.
If you want to know more, we’re happy to talk about how we make money.
Experienced.
Our editorial team is made up of experts in their respective fields with decades of collective industry experience. Our writers, researchers, data analysts, content strategists, and editors are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of integrity, as well as strict adherence to our editorial principles.
We've crafted thousands of articles and written over 180,000 words covering online forex brokers and the forex industry. All of our content is handwritten by humans; read our generative AI policy to learn why we don't use AI to create content at ThePipScout.
Our team of data analysts has created powerful algorithms that are unmatched in the industry, and maintain our vast, complex databases that house the data gathered by our researchers.
We are obsessed with creating the best coverage of the global forex market in the industry, and we are passionate about helping our readers make great choices for their money. We'd love for you to learn more about us.
Accurate.
At ThePipScout, our coverage of the forex industry and reviews of online forex brokerage services are always driven by insightful data collection, careful research, and our proprietary testing methods.
Our data-driven approach is inspired by our commitment to providing the most accurate broker reviews in the industry.
To that end, we regularly audit our data to ensure our information is accurate and up to date. Through our research efforts, we continue to add more data points and testing variables to our already-vast databases.
As on our sister site, StockBrokers.com, our rigorous data validation process yields an error rate of less than 1% each year.
