About Alex Mercado
Alex Mercado covers trading costs and broker terms for dangcash: spreads, commissions, swap rates and the fine print behind bonus offers, plus the evaluation rules of prop firms across the forex and futures markets. His reviews and comparisons start from the document a reader would actually sign - the published contract, fee schedule and payout terms - and every ranking on the pages he touches is built from those figures rather than from marketing copy.
He also maintains the network's bonus, contest and exchange comparison pages. Those are re-read whenever a provider changes its terms; if a claim cannot be confirmed against the official record it comes down instead of sitting stale. Readers can check the same sources he does: each page links the provider's own terms next to the numbers, and the four-step process on our methodology page describes exactly how a figure earns its place in a table.

Editorial standards
Every page Alex publishes follows the same rules: figures come from the provider's own published terms, rankings exclude affiliate commission as a factor, and anything he cannot confirm is removed rather than hedged. The full process is written up on the methodology page; how we earn is disclosed on the affiliate disclosure.
