Disclosure
Transparency is the foundation of our research. This document explains how Trading Lab sustains its operations and the rigorous standards we maintain to ensure our financial interests never compromise our data integrity.
01. How We Support the Lab
Running a high-performance research hub involves significant costs, including Equinix LD4/NY4 server co-location, real-time institutional data feeds (FIX API), and proprietary backtesting software. To provide our intelligence at no cost to the retail trader, we participate in affiliate marketing programs.
When you click on links to certain Prop Firms or Brokerages on tradingl.com and subsequently sign up or fund an account, we may receive a referral commission. This occurs at no additional cost to you. In many cases, our partnerships allow us to offer exclusive discounts or enhanced terms for our community.
The Impartiality Guarantee
We maintain a strict separation between our commercial department and our quantitative research unit. Our “Lab Verdict” and “Verified” status are assigned based on raw execution data, latency audits, and payout reliability, not on the size of a referral fee.
A failing broker will never receive a positive review, regardless of the affiliate payout.
We prioritize auditing firms that our community requests, not those with the highest commissions.
02. Partner Entities
Our primary affiliate partnerships include providers in the following sectors:
- ■ Proprietary Trading Firms: Evaluation providers for funded account access.
- ■ Online Brokerages: ECN and DMA providers for FX, Equities, and Futures.
- ■ Trading Infrastructure: VPS providers and specialized charting software.
03. Trader Responsibility
The presence of a link on Trading Lab does not constitute an endorsement that a specific provider is suitable for your individual financial situation. We provide the data; you remain responsible for your own due diligence and capital management.
