About the Editorial Team

What This Page Covers

This page explains who produces the review of Tickmill published on this site, how that review is researched and scored, and how the site sustains itself. It describes the editorial method behind the pages you read here.

It does not describe the broker's services, terms or pricing, and it does not offer any view on whether trading is suitable for you. This site is an independent editorial resource. It is not Tickmill, it is not affiliated with Tickmill, and it does not provide financial services, open accounts, accept deposits or give advice. Nothing published here is a recommendation to trade or to open an account with anyone.

How Brokers Are Tested

Each review begins with the published terms and documents the broker makes available to Kenyan clients, read closely and compared against what the same broker states in other markets. We then work through the practical questions a reader would face: what account types exist, what costs apply, how deposits and withdrawals are handled, what the platform does well and where it is limited, and what recourse a client has if something goes wrong.

Scoring follows a fixed set of categories that stay the same from one review to the next, so that a score means the same thing wherever it appears. Each category carries a defined weight, and the reasoning behind every score is written into the review itself, so a reader can see which facts drove the number rather than being asked to trust it. We do not adjust a score to match an advertiser's wishes, and no commercial relationship changes a verdict. Where evidence is thin, we say so in the text and score conservatively rather than filling the gap with assumption.

How the Site Is Funded

The site pays for itself through advertising and affiliate arrangements, under which we may receive a payment when a reader follows a link and opens an account. Those arrangements fund the work; they do not buy a verdict. Commercial partners have no sight of a review before publication and no right to change a score, a sentence or a conclusion after it.

Where a page carries such a link, that is disclosed on the page itself. Advertising is kept visually separate from editorial content. If we ever conclude that a broker's offer does not merit a positive assessment, we publish that conclusion regardless of what it costs us, and we would rather lose a payment than mislead a reader.

Sources and Verification

Facts are drawn from the broker's own published documents, its client agreement and fee schedules, its platform and account pages, and the regulatory registers and public notices that apply to it. Where a claim matters to a reader's money, we try to confirm it in more than one place before it goes into a review. Figures such as spreads and fees are treated as indicative, because they move with the market and with the account type.

Every substantive page carries a date showing when it was last checked. If you believe something published here is wrong, outdated or unfairly stated, use the contact form on this site and set out the point with whatever evidence you have. We read those messages, we correct errors in the text and note the correction, and where a disagreement is genuinely open we will say so rather than quietly deleting it.

Limits and Revisiting

A review is a snapshot of published terms and observable practice at a point in time, nothing more. It cannot tell you how a broker will treat you personally, whether its platform will suit the way you work, or what will happen in fast or disrupted markets. It cannot predict your results, and it is not a substitute for reading the client agreement yourself before you commit any money.

Pages are revisited on a rolling schedule, with the most consequential reviews checked most often, and any page is re-examined sooner if a reader raises a specific concern or the broker changes its terms. The date on each page tells you how fresh it is; treat anything older than you would like with corresponding caution and check the broker's own documents before relying on it.
