Disclaimer

Content for learning, not investment advice

The articles on IBFX explain concepts, analysis tools and ways to manage risk. The examples of entry points, take profit and stop loss inside the articles are there as illustrations only. Not one article is advice to buy or sell a particular asset, and not one article promises a profit.

The risk of margin trading

Forex and CFDs are traded with leverage: both profit and loss are worked out on a contract value far larger than the margin you put up. You can lose the whole amount you deposited within a short time. According to the warnings that brokers in Europe are required to publish, most retail accounts trading CFDs lose money. Only trade money you can afford to lose.

The legal context in Vietnam

Under the Ordinance on Foreign Exchange, an organization that wants to deal in or provide foreign exchange services must be approved by the State Bank of Vietnam. Foreign Forex brokers do not hold that approval for individual clients in Vietnam, so if a dispute arises, Vietnamese law does not protect you. IBFX does not explain how to get around access blocks (VPN, proxy) to brokers that are blocked.

Referral links

The articles about CXM Direct, HFM and Tickmill carry referral (affiliate) links. If you open an account through a link, IBFX may receive commission from the broker; you pay nothing extra. Referral links are marked right next to the button.

Some information may be out of date

Most of the articles were written in 2022–2023. Each article records its publication date and its updated date at the top of the page. Every article was reviewed again in September 2026: outdated news articles, product promotion articles and claims that were wrong or misleading were removed. A broker's figures (accounts, fees, leverage) are still the figures at the time the article was written, so check them against the broker's own website.
