Affiliate Disclosure

Effective date: June 2026

The short version

Some links on this site may be affiliate links — if you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. When a link is an affiliate link, we say so where the link appears.

Our standards

  • We only recommend tools and services we would use ourselves — brokers, charting platforms (e.g., TradingView), prop firms, and similar.
  • Compensation never changes our editorial opinion. If a product has weaknesses, we name them, commission or not.
  • Reviews and comparisons disclose any material connection in accordance with FTC guidelines (16 CFR Part 255).
  • Community members and partners must disclose their own affiliate links in our spaces — undisclosed promotion is removed.

Prop firm and broker mentions

Mentions of prop firms or brokers are educational comparisons, not endorsements of trading itself. Funded-account challenges carry their own costs and rules; read them carefully. Our Risk Disclaimer applies to everything we publish.
