EarnForex is an educational foreign exchange (forex) trading website that provides free learning materials, analytical tools, trading software, and broker reviews for retail traders. Founded in 2005, the site focuses on risk-aware currency trading and on offering non-promotional information about brokers, trading strategies, and market mechanics.
Overview
EarnForex is positioned as an independent information portal rather than a brokerage firm. The website publishes introductory and intermediate educational content on forex markets, risk management, and trading psychology, and supplements this with free tools such as calculators, indicators, expert advisors, and downloadable scripts for popular trading platforms.
The site also maintains a broker directory with user-generated reviews and rating mechanisms intended to highlight trading conditions, regulatory status, and customer experience at various forex firms.
History
EarnForex has been serving traders since 2005, coinciding with the broader rise of online retail forex trading in the mid-2000s. Over time, the website has expanded from basic educational articles to a broader ecosystem that includes trading tools, community features, and multi-language support. A later technical overhaul migrated the site from an older framework to a more modern platform to improve performance, scalability, and the ability to add new features while preserving legacy content.
Services and Content
Educational resources
The educational section of EarnForex covers core topics such as the structure of the forex market, order types, leverage, margin, and risk management principles. It offers a structured course on forex trading, along with standalone guides, tutorials, and free downloadable e-books designed for both new and developing traders.
Trading tools
EarnForex hosts a collection of web-based calculators, including a position size calculator and pip value calculator, which help traders determine appropriate trade volume and assess risk in different currency pairs. These tools are complemented by downloadable indicators and expert advisors that can automate or assist with tasks such as position sizing, trailing stops, news trading, and market profiling on MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and cTrader.
Broker ratings and reviews
The website maintains a broker rating system that aggregates trader reviews and feedback on individual forex brokers. Reviews are described as being moderated with the aim of filtering out clearly fake content, while retaining both positive and negative opinions from traders.
These policies are presented as part of an effort to keep broker assessments independent of commercial relationships. EarnForex describes itself as an information provider and not as a broker or money manager, and it states that it does not accept client funds or offer managed accounts.
Community and communication channels
EarnForex offers a discussion forum where traders can exchange ideas about strategies, indicators, and automated systems, as well as ask questions related to the site’s tools and content. The project also maintains a presence on social channels, including video-based and social media platforms used for educational updates and announcements about new tools or articles.
Technology and Open-Source Projects
Beyond its main website, EarnForex publishes a range of open-source trading utilities via a public code repository. These include position sizing panels, market profile tools, account protection utilities, trailing stop systems, news-trading expert advisors, and other indicators and scripts for MetaTrader and cTrader.
Many of these tools are released under permissive open-source licenses, allowing traders and developers to inspect, modify, and extend the code for their own use. The repository is updated with new or revised utilities aligned with the site’s focus on risk management and practical trading infrastructure.
Organization and Governance
EarnForex identifies itself as being run by a small team of writers, developers, and editorial staff. The founder and editor, Andriy Moraru, is described as a currency trader and automated trading systems developer with a background in computer science. He is credited with content management, public relations, and product development at the site.
The site emphasizes several boundaries: it does not provide brokerage services, does not trade on behalf of clients, and does not market get-rich-quick schemes or proprietary paid systems. Instead, it presents its products—such as indicators, expert advisors, and calculators—as free tools for traders to test and incorporate into their own strategies.
Reception
On third-party review platforms, EarnForex is generally described as an information and tools provider for forex traders rather than as a direct trading venue. It has received a mix of positive and critical user feedback, reflecting differing experiences with the tools and resources it offers.
Industry directories typically list EarnForex among forex-related websites that supply free resources to traders, highlighting its combination of articles, strategies, tools, and platform plugins.
