Independence
TradingJournal.com is independently owned and operated. We are not a subsidiary of, owned by, or controlled by any trading journal company, brokerage, or financial services firm. Our editorial decisions are made solely by our team.
No Affiliate Relationships
As of this writing, TradingJournal.com does not participate in any affiliate programs. We do not earn commissions, referral fees, or any other form of compensation when you click a link on our site and sign up for a trading journal platform.
This means our recommendations are not influenced by which platform pays the highest commission — because none of them pay us anything.
No Compensation for Reviews
We do not accept payment from trading journal companies in exchange for reviews, favorable ratings, or placement on our site. No company can pay to improve their score, appear higher in our rankings, or receive preferential treatment in comparisons.
All reviews and scores are the result of our independent review methodology.
If This Changes
We value the trust our readers place in us. If our business model ever changes — for example, if we begin participating in affiliate programs or accepting sponsored content — we will:
- Update this disclosure page immediately
- Clearly label any affiliate links or sponsored content on the relevant pages
- Maintain editorial independence regardless of any commercial relationships
- Never allow compensation to influence our ratings or recommendations
Content Is Opinion
All reviews, ratings, comparisons, and recommendations on TradingJournal.com represent our editorial opinions based on research and hands-on testing. While we strive for accuracy, our assessments are subjective and may not reflect every user's experience.
We encourage traders to try platforms themselves before making a purchase decision. Most trading journal platforms offer free trials or free tiers that let you evaluate the product firsthand.
Accuracy & Corrections
We make every effort to keep our content accurate and up to date. Trading journal platforms frequently update their features, pricing, and integrations.
We're independent. We don't run affiliate links. We don't take money for reviews. Our opinions are based on research and testing. If any of this ever changes, we'll tell you here first.
