Why Trust Us

Founded in 2007, Clear Markets is one of the top two referrers of global client volume to a majority of the world’s most successful brokers, such as IC Markets and Tickmill. Our flagship, ‘CBFX’ or cashbackforex.com, has been highly reputed on industry-leading review sites like forexpeacearmy.com for almost 2 decades now. Our platforms receive over 3 million monthly visits with constant steady growth, as we continue to develop new tools and services. Some of our tools are the most widely used and trusted in the industry, such as our lot size calculator that processes data from over 145,000 financial instruments with perfect accuracy. We provide advanced trading account analytics that synchronize data between thousands of live trading accounts at hundreds of brokers worldwide, affording us unique data insights. Our embeddable tools are deployed across thousands of websites across the web and many rank #1 in search, and our platforms host the most well known and respected cash-prize Forex and CFD trading contests on the net. Our professionally managed customer support team is long-renowned for their expertise and commitment to quality and is available 24 hours, 5 days a week.

Verified User Reviews

Our platform approaches user reviews very differently than all other platforms, labeling and giving greater weight to insights from verified trading account holders while limiting scores produced by unverified reviewers. By directly syncing with live trading accounts, we ensure the authenticity and relevance of each review. We actively poll for reviews from our database of global account holders across hundreds of brokers, which helps us present a balanced view of broker performance, effectively countering the usual negative skew in some review systems. Additionally, every review undergoes thorough human moderation, while we employ many technical analyses to analyze and detect vote fraud and ensure the integrity of reviews.

Our Expert Broker Ratings

Our position as one of the industry's top 2 referrers of global client volume gives us a uniquely deep understanding of FX/CFD broker nuances through a high volume of daily client-broker interactions and real-time data syncing from thousands of accounts. We complement this unique insight with rigorous real money testing, ensuring our reviews are thorough and practical. Our commitment to transparency guarantees that our assessments remain unbiased and not influenced by external partnerships, and brokers cannot improve their ratings through paying or partnering with us. This dual approach of extensive background knowledge and hands-on testing ensures that traders receive reliable, impartial guidance for making informed decisions.

Ad Revenue Disclosure

We earn commissions from some affiliate partners at no extra cost to users (partners are listed on our ‘About Us’ page in the ‘Partners’ section). Despite these affiliations, our content remains unbiased and independent. We generate revenue through banner advertising and affiliate partnerships, which do not influence our impartial reviews or content integrity. Our editorial and marketing teams operate independently, ensuring the accuracy and objectivity of our financial insights.

What You Should Know About High Risk Investments

Investing in assets such as stocks, bonds, cryptocurrencies, futures, options, and CFDs involves considerable risks. CFDs are especially risky with 74-89% of retail accounts losing money due to high leverage and complexity. Cryptocurrencies and options exhibit extreme volatility, while futures can also lead to significant losses. Even stocks and bonds can depreciate quickly during market downturns, and total loss can ensure if the issuing company fails. Furthermore, the stability of your broker matters; in case of bankruptcy, the presence of an effective investor compensation scheme is crucial for protecting your assets. It's vital to align these investments with your financial goals and if needed, consult with financial professionals to navigate complex financial markets.
