This site has no paid relationships with any product, platform, or broker we cover. Not one. Every outbound link on every page is a plain editorial link: no affiliate tracking, no commission arrangements, no discount codes tied to this site, no sponsored placements.
That means nobody we review pays us, and nothing we recommend earns us anything. When a page says a scanner is worth $89 a month for one kind of trader and a waste for another, that judgment costs us exactly the same either way.
What independence means in practice
Three things you can verify yourself:
- No link on this site carries a tracking parameter or referral code. Click any outbound link and check the URL; it goes straight to the destination, clean.
- No page carries a commission disclosure, because there is no commission to disclose. A “we may earn a commission” line on this site would be false, so it does not appear.
- Rankings and review scores follow the published methodology at how we rate, which scores every product on the same five criteria with the same weights. Money has never touched that process, because there is no money in it.
If that ever changes
We may add partnerships in the future. If and when any go live, three things happen on the same day, not gradually and not quietly:
- This page is updated to name every active partner.
- Every page containing a partner link gets a clear disclosure above the first such link, stating that we may earn a commission if you sign up through it.
- Those links are marked as sponsored at the technical level, so search engines and ad blockers can see exactly what they are.
What will not change: the rating methodology, the rankings, or the verdicts. A product that loses a comparison loses it whether or not a partnership exists, and the reviews will keep saying who should not buy something. If you ever spot a page where that promise looks broken, tell us.
Why publish this page at all
Most review sites in this space run on affiliate commissions, and readers have learned to assume every recommendation is paid for. Usually they are right. Publishing the absence of those relationships, in writing, with a dated record, is the cleanest way to make the current state checkable rather than something you take on faith.
How the research behind each page actually works, including live verification of pricing and regulatory facts against official sources, is described on the about page. The scoring system every review uses is published in full at how we rate. Start with the full day trading app comparison to see both in action.
