Independent trader & lead reviewer · digital options, forex & crypto since 2015

I am Aariz Khan, the lead reviewer behind BrokerGrove. I have been trading since 2015 — I started with forex, moved into fixed-time (digital) options, and later added crypto. I write for traders in South Asia, Africa and the Middle East who use offshore platforms like Stockity, Pocket Option, Binomo or Quotex, and who need to know how these platforms actually behave before depositing money.

What I focus on

Most broker reviews are written for people in the US, UK, or Europe. That is not who reads BrokerGrove. My focus is the practical reality of using an offshore fixed-time platform from South Asia, Africa or the Middle East — how you actually get money in through bKash, Nagad, JazzCash or USDT P2P, how long withdrawals really take, what each platform does and does not do, and where the genuine risks sit (no local regulation, no local protection).

How I review

I cross-check every checkable figure (minimum deposit, minimum trade, payouts, demo terms) against each platform's official sources, and regulatory status against the relevant authorities (BSEC in Bangladesh, SECP in Pakistan, plus the registers and warning lists collected in our Platform Transparency Tracker). Where something cannot be verified from a primary source, the page says so. I flag risks even on pages where BrokerGrove earns an affiliate commission — the commission never changes the assessment. You can read the full process on our How We Review page.

Why a pen name

“Aariz Khan” is a pen name. I write under it for privacy, but the trading experience behind these reviews is real and my own, and every review's figures are verified against the sources linked on the page. If you want to know how BrokerGrove operates as a whole, see the About page.
