Our Values
Transparency
We clearly disclose all affiliate relationships and never hide our commercial partnerships with trading platforms.
Honesty
We share both successes and failures in online trading. Trading involves real risk, and we never downplay that.
Education First
Our primary goal is to educate and inform about online trading, not to pressure anyone into making hasty decisions to start trading.
Independence
We are an independent resource. Our content is not controlled by any trading platform or broker.

This means that when you click on certain links on our site and sign up or make a deposit on a recommended trading platform, we may receive a commission. This commission comes at no additional cost to you and helps us maintain and improve our website and content about online trading.
We want to be completely transparent: our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. We only recommend trading platforms and services that we genuinely believe provide value to our readers who want to start trading.
