ForexExplainer was founded with one mission: give every American trader access to professional-grade tools and honest education — completely free.
We saw too many retail traders lose money — not from bad strategy, but from a lack of simple tools and honest guidance. Expensive courses, conflict-ridden brokers, and confusing platforms were everywhere.
ForexExplainer.com launched in 2022 to change that. We're an independent educational resource, not a broker. We don't earn commissions. We don't push products. We just want to help you trade smarter.
Today, over 50,000 US traders use our free tools every month.
15 years trading FX and commodities. Former institutional trader at a Chicago prop firm. Passionate about retail trader education.
Ex-retail trader turned educator. Sarah writes all our beginner guides and makes complex concepts genuinely accessible.
Quantitative finance background. Builds and maintains all our calculators to be fast, accurate and mobile-friendly.
Every calculator is tested rigorously. We'd rather say "we don't know" than give you a wrong answer.
Our tools and guides will always be free. Education shouldn't have a paywall.
We're not a broker. We don't earn commissions. Our only incentive is your success.
We explain forex the way we wished someone explained it to us — clearly, without jargon.
