What we review

TraderJury covers eight categories: brokers, prop firms, trading platforms, indicators, trading tools, signal providers, educators, and copy traders. If you trade with it, pay for it, or rely on it — it's fair game.

Where the score comes from

Every page carries a 0–5 community score. It's a weighted average of trader ratings across four axes:

  • Trust (40%) — regulation, history, ownership transparency, complaint patterns, regulatory actions.
  • Cost (25%) — fees, spreads, commissions, withdrawal charges, hidden costs.
  • User experience (20%) — platform quality, onboarding, withdrawal speed, account closure friction.
  • Support (15%) — responsiveness, accuracy, escalation paths, dispute handling.

Editorial does not assign the score. Editorial verifies that submitted ratings come from real users with real evidence, removes obvious manipulation (vote stuffing, paid promotion), and writes the summary that sits above the score.

What the verdict labels mean

  • Recommended — community score ≥ 4.0 with no critical trust concerns.
  • Use with caution — score 2.5–3.9 OR meaningful but non-critical concerns.
  • Avoid — score < 2.5 OR documented critical concerns (regulatory action, scam pattern, deceptive marketing).

Sources

Every factual claim links to a source: regulator filings, court records, archived terms, broker disclosures, or dated screenshots from trader submissions. Unverified user claims are flagged as such and never count toward the score.

Comments and ratings stay public

We don't delete comments because someone disagrees with them. We only remove spam, scam promotion, and personal attacks. Read our full comment policy .

Independence

TraderJury earns affiliate commissions on outbound links to brokers and prop firms. Affiliate status never moves a score. A subject we rate "Avoid" stays "Avoid" regardless of revenue. Affiliate disclosure appears on every page that contains a tracked link. Read our full disclosure .

Updates and corrections

Every page carries a "Last reviewed" date. We re-examine published pages at least quarterly, sooner if material changes happen (regulatory action, ownership change, terms revision). Corrections are footnoted; major changes are timestamped.

What we don't do

  • We don't publish unverified scam allegations.
  • We don't take payment for review placement.
  • We don't run anonymous editorial — every byline is real.
  • We don't delete critical comments to protect partners.

Right of reply

Any subject named on this site can request a correction via our editorial address with documented evidence. We respond within five business days.
