Rebecca Lawson
Investigative Markets Journalist (Forex & CFDs)
About Rebecca Lawson
Rebecca Lawson is an investigative financial journalist with 11 years of experience covering retail trading, brokers, and market regulation. She previously reported for a personal-finance newsroom and later joined a trading-industry publication where she led deep-dive features on broker practices, regulatory actions, and the impact of market events on retail traders.
Rebecca’s specialization is evidence-based reporting on forex market structure and the retail trading ecosystem—spreads and slippage, order-routing, fee disclosures, leverage rules, and enforcement trends across major regulators. She is known for turning dense documents (risk disclosures, audited statements, regulatory notices, court filings) into clear guidance readers can use to evaluate claims and avoid misinformation.
Her philosophy is simple: trust is earned with sources. Rebecca aims to give readers transparent context—what is known, what is uncertain, and what to verify—so they can make informed choices about brokers, strategies, and risk. She writes with the belief that good journalism protects traders from hype, hidden costs, and preventable mistakes.
