Terms of Use

Last updated: October 2026

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing and using ForexMechanics.com ("the site"), you accept these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any part of them, please do not use the site. These terms apply to all visitors and all language editions of the site.

2. Educational service

ForexMechanics.com is a free educational resource about the foreign exchange market. The site provides articles, a glossary, and online calculators for informational purposes. Use of the site does not create any client, advisory, or fiduciary relationship between you and the site or its author.

3. Not investment advice

Nothing on this site constitutes investment advice, a recommendation, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any financial instrument. Trading leveraged products such as Forex and CFDs carries a high risk of rapid capital loss – ESMA data shows that 74–89% of retail CFD accounts lose money. See the full Disclaimer for details.

4. Intellectual property

All content on the site – texts, illustrations, glossaries, calculators, and the course structure – is the intellectual property of the site's author unless stated otherwise. You may:

  • read, print and save excerpts for personal, non-commercial use,
  • link to any public page of the site,
  • quote short fragments with clear attribution and a link to the source page.

The original diagrams, exercises, worked answers and lesson plans explicitly included in the versioned educator pack are separately licensed under CC BY 4.0. Its permissions and conditions govern reuse of those materials, including sharing and adaptation. Application code, third-party materials and trademark rights are outside that pack license.

For other content without a separate license, you may not republish, redistribute, sell, or systematically copy it (including by scraping for republication) without prior written consent.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to: disrupt the operation of the site, attempt to access non-public areas, use the site in any unlawful manner, or misrepresent the site's content as your own.

6. Accuracy and availability

We make every effort to keep the content accurate and current, and we cite primary sources (BIS, ESMA, CFTC, FCA, Federal Reserve, ECB) wherever quantitative claims are made. However, markets, regulations and data change over time – the content is provided "as is", without any warranty of completeness or fitness for a particular purpose. The site may be modified, suspended or withdrawn at any time without notice.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the site and its author shall not be liable for any direct or indirect loss or damage (including trading losses and lost profits) arising from the use of, or reliance on, any content published on the site. Any decision to trade is made at your own risk and responsibility.

8. Third-party links

The site links to external sources (regulators, central banks, statistical offices) for reference. We are not responsible for the content or availability of third-party websites.

9. Changes to these terms

These Terms of Use may be updated from time to time. The current version is always published on this page, with the date of the latest revision shown above.
