Stats
Citable one-liners for writers and traders. Industry figures below point to public sources; PipAlert product facts describe how Channels and Signals work—not invented user counts.
Last updated: 8 November 2026
Stat 1
~$7.5 trillion
OTC FX markets; next full BIS triennial update cadence is the reference for market size claims.
Source: Bank for International Settlements, Triennial Central Bank Survey (April 2022; published 2022).
Stat 2
Spot + derivatives
Spot is only part of total FX; retail Signals usually relate to spot/CFD exposure at brokers.
Source: BIS Triennial Survey methodology notes on spot, forwards, swaps, and options.
Stat 3
0.5%–2%
PipAlert's risk calculator uses account % risk × stop distance so dollar risk stays intentional.
Source: Common retail risk guidance echoed by broker education sites; not a guarantee of safety.
Stat 4
Free + paid Packages
Channels may offer free Packages and paid Packages; Audience controls who sees each Signal.
Source: PipAlert product model (2026).
Stat 5
Structured Signals
Status is derived from Progress Actions (tp hits, move stop, Close, stoploss hit)—not a painted badge.
Source: PipAlert Signal schema (2026).
