Daniel Whitcombe spent 11 years in financial supervision, including six as a markets supervisor at a tier-1 regulator, before moving to independent broker analysis. He specialises in the parts of a broker that decide real-world outcomes for retail traders: whether a licence is genuine and active, whether client funds are truly segregated, and whether execution matches the marketing.
For Forex Awards, Daniel personally verifies every licence number cited in a review against the regulator's public register, and measures headline spreads on live accounts before they appear on a broker page.
