The TradeBB Team

How we check

What we check before we publish

• Formulas match the product. The metric guides use the same formulas TradeBB uses to build your reports, checked with the people who built them. If the profit factor guide says it's built from each trade's net P&L, that's how your report calculates it.
• Every example is recalculated. The numbers in worked examples are worked out again on their own before we publish, so the math on the page adds up.
• Industry practice and TradeBB are kept apart. When there's more than one accepted way to calculate something, such as FIFO or weighted-average cost, we explain both and show where TradeBB lets you pick.
• We say when a number can't be trusted. If your data is missing something, we tell you rather than guess. A trade without a stop loss has no 1R, so it's left out of your R-multiple averages.
• Rules come with sources. When an article covers one firm's or broker's rules, such as Topstep's, it links to that firm's own pages at the end. We don't make up statistics or quote sources that don't say what we claim.
• Comparisons are dated. Our comparison pages say which sources we used and when we checked them, because pricing and plans change.
• No trading advice. We explain how to measure and review your trading. We don't tell anyone what to buy, sell or hold.
