# Samuel T.

[Home](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/) › [About TheTraderWiki](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/about/) › [Samuel T.](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/authors/samuel-t/)

I write country-by-country comparisons of the brokers featured on this site, and I profile each one: Eightcap, Capital.com, CMC Markets, IG, Pepperstone and XTB. My pages also cover the companies that sit behind these brands, from offshore brokers to broker groups and their regulators. I explain why some EU traders opt for a global company, and I look at the payment systems used in each country.

CFDs are complex, leveraged products, and the regulators’ own figures show that most retail accounts lose money. Nothing on TheTraderWiki is investment advice. Read the full [risk disclosure](https://thetraderwiki.com/en/risk-disclosure/), and if you’re unsure, talk to a qualified adviser. Broker details can change and they can be wrong. Before you open an account, confirm them with the broker and the regulator’s register.
