About ForexThrive

How did it all start?

It began as a side project by a software engineering student and a former "day trader" searching for a tool to figure out why their trading strategies weren't working.
ForexThrive started as a free-for-all app and remained free for over four years.
The original version is still available at: https://forexthrive.com/free/

What was the motivation—the "trigger"?

Over 12 years ago (I'm now in my mid-30s), I fell victim to a flashy advertisement from an online brokerage firm.
I'd describe it as an ad: "Selling dreams but causing nightmares."
Yes, I lost 50% of my hard-earned savings within the first two months.
Why? I wasn't prepared.
Sure, demo trading accounts exist, but who has the patience for such a slow, boring training method?

What do we fight for?

To eliminate "bucket shops" in the brokerage industry by equipping retail traders with the tools they need.

A staggering number of online trading firms—especially CFD brokers—place retail traders in the so-called "B-book."
This is essentially a pure conflict of interest a setup where brokers profit from traders' losses, armed with data that shows with near certainty that most users will lose their deposits within three months!
