Daniel Reeves

Financial Writer & Forex Analyst · FX Trade Register

I'm Daniel Reeves — an independent financial writer and retail trader with over 12 years of experience in the forex and CFD markets. My background is in software engineering; I started trading while working in tech, and over the years developed a focus on helping new traders understand brokers, platforms, and trading conditions in plain, jargon-free language.

I write all the guides on FX Trade Register. My approach is simple: explain how things actually work, cover the conditions and costs that matter, and give readers enough context to make informed decisions — without pushing them towards any outcome. I continue to trade actively alongside my writing work.

I've been following the retail broker space for over a decade, tracking how platforms, spreads, bonuses, and regulation have evolved. XM has been one of the most widely discussed brokers in that time, which is why I focus a significant part of my work on covering it thoroughly.
