About us

An independent research desk, not a broker

NordicFX Research Desk exists to document how retail trading actually works — the costs, the mechanics, the paperwork — using the NordicFX platform at nordic-fx.com as a recurring case study.

What we do

We call our approach money archaeology: digging through fee schedules, client agreements, execution policies and regulatory registers to reconstruct how a trading product really behaves. The material is often dry. It is also where nearly all of a retail trader's controllable outcomes are decided.

Our recurring case study is NordicFX, a retail platform presented publicly at nordic-fx.com. We chose a single named platform deliberately: generic education is easy to write and difficult to apply, while documenting one real product forces precision.

What we are not

  • We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by NordicFX.
  • We do not accept deposits, open accounts or route orders.
  • We do not publish referral links, bonus offers or sign-up incentives.
  • We do not provide personal investment advice or portfolio recommendations.

Who writes here

Editorial work is led by Dana Lindqvist, previously a market-structure analyst, supported by a small group of contributors with backgrounds in compliance documentation and data journalism. Every page is checked against our research methodology and editorial policy before publication, and reviewed again whenever a platform changes its public terms.

How we are funded

This project is self-funded. We take no payment from any trading platform, comparison network or affiliate scheme, which is the only reason a review like our NordicFX platform study can list open questions as openly as strengths.

Corrections

If a figure, quotation or regulatory detail on this site is wrong, we want to fix it. Corrections are logged with the date and a note describing what changed, as set out in our editorial policy.
