about
Artificial Forex is a notebook about the machinery of retail trading: forex spreads and swaps, crypto exchange fees and custody, copy trading allocation models, lending and yield, and the automation that sits on top of all of it. It is written for people who already trade and want the parts that are checkable rather than the parts that are exciting.
The method
01
Primary sources
Fees come from fee pages, licences from regulator registers, enforcement from the regulator own publications. Dates are stated.
02
Unverified is written down
Where a figure cannot be read from a primary source, the page says not verified instead of estimating.
03
No scores
No stars, no rankings, no best-of lists ordered by anything other than the facts in a table.
04
Nothing for sale
No affiliate links, no signals, no courses, no managed accounts, no paid placements.
Who writes it
Aram Latifi spent seven years building execution and risk systems at a mid-sized brokerage before leaving to write about them. That background explains the bias of this site: it is much more interested in how an order is priced, routed and settled than in where a market is going next.
How this site makes money
It does not. There are no affiliate links, no sponsored posts, no display advertising and no paid reviews. If that changes, it will be disclosed at the top of every affected page before anything is published.
What is deliberately not here
- 01Price predictions and trade calls.
- 02Personal investment advice. Nothing here takes account of your circumstances.
- 03Ranked broker or exchange lists designed to route clicks.
- 04Named allegations of wrongdoing. Regulatory findings are quoted with sources and dates; the rest is left to regulators.
Most of what decides a trading outcome is written down somewhere public. This site is an attempt to read it.
