TheTraderWiki at a glance
TheTraderWiki at a glance: you need these facts first if you’re deciding how far to trust the site.
- Languages
- English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Arabic and Thai, with the same pages and facts in each.
- Countries
- We cover nineteen countries, the same ones our broker comparison covers. In Europe: Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Poland, Portugal and the United Kingdom. In Oceania: Australia. In Latin America: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. In South-east Asia: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.
- Advertising
- None from CFD providers, brokers or trading-education businesses, and no affiliate or referral links of any kind, including on the broker comparison pages. An affiliate link pays a site for the customers who reach a broker through it. Where a page links to a broker’s own website, that link is there to show where a figure came from.
- Revenue
- TheTraderWiki takes no money from brokers. Its plan is to earn revenue by licensing its articles and other learning material to AI labs and other interested third parties, and to be paid a commission each time a user of their platform draws on that content. The same material stays free to read on this site.
Editorial independence and funding
Editorial independence at TheTraderWiki rests on one funding rule. From CFD providers, brokers or trading-education businesses, the site takes no affiliate revenue, no referral fees, no sponsored placements and no advertising. Elsewhere, the providers that a comparison page ranks almost always pay for it. TheTraderWiki does compare providers on its broker comparison pages, but it takes nothing from any of them and no provider pays to be listed. Where those pages link to a provider’s own website, the link is there to show where a figure came from, and it earns the site nothing. If that ever changes, the disclosure moves above the tables and this claim comes down.
The site intends to fund its operations by licensing its articles and other learning material to AI labs and other interested third parties. It would earn a commission whenever a user of their platform draws on that content. We set out the arrangement here so you can judge it for yourself.
What TheTraderWiki does not do
TheTraderWiki doesn’t do five things that trading sites commonly do, and it leaves them out on purpose.
- Give you personal advice, tell you what to buy or sell, or suggest that any strategy works.
- Rank providers into a single “best” order, use affiliate or referral links, or accept payment for a placement. Providers are named and compared only on the broker comparison pages and in the broker reviews. The learning articles never name providers. Two reference pages also name providers: the broker groups and regulators page and the how we choose brokers page. Every broker is checked against the same fixed baskets and fields, with figures read from its own pages. Anything a broker doesn’t publish is shown as not published. The groups we compare are those that meet six published criteria.
- Publish statistics it hasn’t sourced. Every figure on the site is cited to a primary document or labelled as a made-up example. The payment rails registry shows the source for every rail it lists.
- Give tax guidance for any country. Tax treatment varies by jurisdiction and depends on your circumstances, and it’s a matter for a qualified adviser.
- Provide account support or handle complaints about a provider. Where those go instead is set out on the contact page.
