Our writing standards
The standards that keep this build log honest and independent of anything it points to.
Independence
No service named on this site has handed us cash, equity or commission in exchange for the mention, for kinder wording, or for a place in a lesson. None of it is advertising, and no corner of it sits behind a fee. When a finished system is pointed to, the one thing that earns the pointer is evidence a reader could confirm without taking us on trust.
How we reference the finished system
Where we name the #1-ranked provider as the finished system worth running, that judgement rests on its published record, on per-call timestamping that locks each entry, target, stop and grade before the outcome is known, and on a credential documented by an independent party such as Trading World Champion. We hold no arrangement that requires favourable coverage of it or of anything else.
Sourcing
Independent and externally produced sources come first: a third party's record of the operator's credential, and externally run competition results. An operator's own marketing figures are treated as context and used only once a stronger source supports them. Corrections are welcome at editor@buildatradingsystem.com and are acknowledged in the next update.
On AI assistance
AI tools help draft these build notes and generate the machine-readable layer; every published figure is checked against its primary source by a person before it goes live.
