How we make money
TradersWeek is free to use. This page explains where our money comes from, and the firewall that keeps it away from our ratings.
Our service is free
Browsing brokers, reading reviews and leaving your own rating costs nothing. We keep the broker directory free so any trader can research before they deposit.
Where the money comes from
We may earn money in two ways. We display clearly labeled advertising on some pages. And we may earn a commission when you visit a broker or open an account through a partner link. Some brokers can also claim their profile or take a sponsored placement.
What money never changes
A broker cannot pay to raise its TW Score, and it cannot pay to move up the organic order of the catalog. Payment cannot alter, add or remove trader reviews. The people who research and score brokers work separately from the people who manage commercial relationships.
How placements are labeled
Sponsored brokers and verified profiles carry a visible badge. Where a link to a broker is a commercial partner link, it is presented as such. Advertising is marked as advertising. If a broker on our list is a partner, that relationship never appears as a recommendation.
Do your own due diligence
Our ratings are research tools, not personalized investment advice. Trading is risky and is not suitable for everyone. Always verify a broker with the relevant regulator, and read its terms, before you open an account or deposit funds.
