About BrokerGrove
BrokerGrove is an independent review and information site covering fixed-time / binary options trading platforms: Stockity, Pocket Option, Binomo, Deriv, Exnova, IQ Option — and Quotex, which we review in depth but have no commercial relationship with. We write for traders in South Asia, Africa and the Middle East — people who want honest, practical answers before they deposit money into an offshore platform.
We are not any of these platforms. We have no connection to their operating companies or employees. We review them from the outside, the same way you would.
Why We Exist
Most content about offshore trading platforms falls into two buckets: promotional material from affiliate marketers with no critical perspective, or vague forum posts from people who may or may not have used the platform.
We try to occupy a third position: independent research, checked against primary sources, written plainly, with full disclosure of how the site is funded.
What We Cover
- Platform reviews — terms, costs, assets, payment methods, and what is actually verifiable about each platform
- Legitimacy and regulation checks — who operates each platform, what licence (if any) stands behind it, and which regulators have issued warnings
- Comparisons and alternatives — side-by-side breakdowns for traders choosing between platforms
- Payment guides — how deposits and withdrawals work with local methods such as bKash, Nagad, JazzCash and USDT
- Risk — we are direct about the fact that fixed-time trading carries a high risk of capital loss
We also publish original research: the Platform Transparency Tracker — a primary-source-verified dataset of who operates each platform and under what oversight — and the Fixed-Time Trading Regulation Map, a country-by-country breakdown of legal status. Both are free to download and reuse.
Our Editorial Approach
Every page on BrokerGrove follows the same rules:
- Primary sources first. Regulatory status, licence claims, entity names and platform terms are checked against official registers and the platform's own published documents. We link to the sources so you can verify independently.
- We say when we can't verify. If an operating entity or licence cannot be confirmed from an accessible primary source, the page says so plainly — we don't repeat marketing claims as facts.
- Risk framing. Any page that could lead a reader toward depositing money includes a clear statement about the risks involved.
- Visible dates. Pages show when they were last updated, and our research datasets carry a changelog and a re-verification schedule.

How This Site Is Funded
BrokerGrove earns affiliate commissions from some of the platforms we review. Our current partners are Stockity, Pocket Option, Binomo, Deriv, Exnova and IQ Option — when you open an account through a marked link on this site and trade, the platform pays us a share of its revenue. You pay nothing extra.
We have no affiliate relationship with Quotex. Our Quotex coverage earns us nothing from Quotex — it exists because readers search for it and deserve independent information about it.
Our affiliate relationships do not change what we write. Reviews of partner platforms include regulator warnings, missing-licence flags and user-reported problems where they exist. We would rather lose a commission than mislead a reader into a bad decision.
The full breakdown is on our Affiliate Disclosure page.
What We Are Not
- We are not a trading platform, and we don't represent any platform we review.
- We are not financial advisors. Nothing on this site is investment advice.
- We are not a trading signal service or a managed account provider.
- We are not a financial regulator. For regulatory guidance, consult the relevant authority in your country — for example, the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) or Pakistan's SECP.
