ShaFX Research Desk

Editorial standards behind every broker review and educational article we publish.

Who publishes ShaFX content

All ShaFX articles, broker reviews, methodology notes, and academy guides are published under the brand "ShaFX Research Desk". Bylines reference the editorial team rather than individual personalities. This is intentional: research and review work are reproducible and auditable; influencer-driven advice is not the model we follow.

Editorial principles

  • Risk-first. Every educational article includes risk context where relevant. We do not write "how to make $X per day" content.
  • Sourced. Broker information links back to the broker's official documentation, regulator register, or partner-portal feed.
  • Time-stamped. Broker pages show "last updated". Research articles show publish date.
  • Reviewable. Significant rewrites are versioned. Major corrections include a changelog note.
  • No copied content. We don't republish broker marketing copy as our own analysis.
  • No paid suppression. We don't accept payment to remove negative information from a review.

Publication workflow

  1. Topic selection by editorial planning (covering forex basics, risk, psychology, brokers, gold trading, prop firms, halal trading, regulation, and trader safety).
  2. Research draft including primary sources and disclaimers.
  3. Editorial review for accuracy, clarity, and risk context.
  4. Compliance review against the affiliate disclosure and education standards.
  5. Publication with last-updated stamp and revisable changelog.

Topics we cover

  • Forex basics — pairs, pips, lots, order types, sessions
  • Risk management — sizing, drawdown, R-multiples, expectancy
  • Trading psychology — overtrading, journaling, mental fatigue, recovery
  • Broker education — execution, regulation, account types, hidden costs
  • Prop firm guides — evaluation rules, payout discipline, daily-loss handling
  • Gold / XAUUSD trading — volatility, sessions, news handling
  • Trading platforms — MT4, MT5, cTrader, TradingView, web platforms
  • Halal / Sharia-compliance topics — educational only, no rulings
  • Trader safety — scam patterns, regulatory red flags
  • Cashback & rewards — methodology, transparency, comparisons

What we will not publish

  • Articles guaranteeing trading profit
  • "VIP signal" promotions or paid-entry services
  • Account-management or copy-trading offers framed as our recommendation
  • "Get-rich-quick" content
  • Content that assumes a particular religious ruling on trading without scholarly attribution
  • Material that copies broker marketing without disclosure
