Affiliate disclosure & editorial policy

Plain-English honesty about how this site works.

Affiliate links

Best Trading Journal participates in affiliate and partner programs. This means that some of the links to third-party products on this site are tracked, and if you click one and go on to sign up or subscribe, we may receive a commission. You never pay more as a result - the price is identical whether you use our link or go direct.

These commissions are the primary way we fund the ongoing work of testing platforms, maintaining the site, and keeping our data current.

How this affects our rankings

It doesn't. A product's score and ranking are determined entirely by the criteria described on our methodology page - value, broker auto-sync, analytics, ease of use and market coverage. A commercial relationship, or the size of a commission, has no bearing on where a product places. Products we rank highly and products we rank lower may both have affiliate programs.

Accuracy of information

We work hard to keep pricing and feature information accurate, but the market changes constantly and details can go out of date between our updates. Always confirm current pricing and features on the vendor's own website before making a purchase. Figures on this site were last verified July 2026.

Not financial advice

The content on Best Trading Journal is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, or trading advice. Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Any decisions you make are your own responsibility.
