About WeTheTraders
Our mission
WeTheTraders exists because comparing trading platforms is harder than it should be — and too many comparison sites quietly rank by commission. Our mission is simple: help traders and investors choose a platform based on facts — fees, safety, features and real availability — never on who pays us the most.
What makes us different
- Commission-independent scoring, and we prove it. Affiliate status never changes a ranking.
- Radical freshness. Every platform shows a real last-checked date.
- A real trust & safety layer. Regulator lookups for the US and UK/EU, plus a prop-firm rule decoder, safety signals and a shutdown tracker.
- Beginner-first. A quick quiz, plain-English fee explainers, and clear "best for / avoid if" guidance.
Who we cover
Stock brokers, crypto exchanges, futures platforms, forex/CFD brokers, prop firms and trading tools — with accurate availability and regulation for both the United States and the UK/Europe.
Who we are
WeTheTraders is built and maintained by a small, independent editorial team, with a separate compliance & data review desk checking regulatory claims before publication. We are not owned by any broker, exchange or prop firm, and no platform can pay to change how it is scored.
How we score — the short version
Every platform gets sub-scores for trust, fees, ease of use, tools, support, education, mobile and reliability (prop firms add a payout & rule-transparency score). Those combine into one overall score using fixed, published weights — computed purely from the sub-scores, so affiliate status is mathematically incapable of moving a ranking.
