Reviews that show their sources.
Standards
Seven rules. The first six are about the evidence behind what you read here; the seventh is about what we do with a link.
The useful thing a review can offer is its working. So every figure on this site names the page it was read off and the day it was checked, every price and requirement is held in one table rather than retyped into sentences, and every review ships with a companion article covering what to have ready before you start. A conclusion built that way is one a reader can check for themselves.
We may earn a fee from links on this page. Disclosure
01
Rule
Each number on this site records the exact page it came off and the date it was checked. When a fact moves we re-verify it and change the date in the same edit. We never repoint a citation at a page nobody looked at — a citation to an unread page is worse than no citation, because it looks like diligence.
02
Rule
Every price, requirement and term is held in a single table and read from there wherever it appears. Nothing is retyped into a sentence. A figure typed twice is a figure that disagrees with itself the first time one copy is updated, and on a site whose whole claim is accuracy that is not a small bug.
03
Rule
Where a claim rests on something checkable, the page says what it rests on, in a form a reader can go and verify for themselves. A specific claim with a source behind it is worth more than a confident one without, and it is the kind we try to make.
04
Rule
A review says what a product is. It does not tell you what to have ready before you start, what the first week looks like, or where to read the things the review points at. Every review here ships with a companion article that does, written by us, at the same length.
05
Rule
We do not reprint returns, win rates, drawdown values or profit factors. Those live on the vendor's own results page, per strategy, with the drawdown beside the profit and backtests badged — and that context is what makes them readable. Lifting one number out of it would strip the part that made the disclosure worth crediting.
06
Rule
Customer reviews appear here in full, one at a time, rather than compressed into a star average. An average tells you almost nothing about what to expect; six people describing their first week tells you a great deal. So that is what the pages show, and no aggregate rating is published or marked up anywhere.
07
Rule
Sources are printed as a hostname and a date rather than as clickable links. A citation is a record of where we looked; turning every one into an outbound link would make a page of provenance look like a page of traffic. The commercial links on this site are the ones marked as such, and they are marked sponsored.
It does not score products out of ten, rank a field, or run a calculator. One product is reviewed here and the site says so plainly rather than implying a survey it has not done. A single assessment that admits how narrow it is remains worth reading; one that implies breadth it does not have is not.
