Forex & crypto · Independent review
Your statement shows what happened. Not why.
We read a trader’s own execution record the way a risk desk reads a fund’s, then write down what the numbers support. One document, with the working shown. No advice on what to buy, and no stake in how often you trade.
01 · The gap
Two traders, one equity curve, different diagnoses.
A broker report is an accounting record. It lists fills, volumes and a running balance, then stops. Causation was never part of its job, and nothing in the file pretends otherwise.
So a trader reading a bad quarter reaches for the nearest available story. A news spike. A run of stopped-out entries. Something wrong with the London open. The story is usually not false. It is just not the largest term in the equation.
Underneath sit questions the same file already answers. Did average position size creep upward after losing days, while the win rate stayed flat? Were winners closed in half the time losers were nursed? What share of gross result went to spread, swap and funding before a single unit reached the balance? All of it is recoverable from an ordinary export. None of it is presented.
02 · Scope of work
Six angles, ordered the way the report is ordered.
A review covers all six or a single one. Which of them applies is decided from the data you send, not from a tier on a price list.
03 · How it runs
Three stages, and one thing we never ask for.
You send an export. A statement from MetaTrader, cTrader or TradingView, or a CSV from an exchange. Read-only, and not until scope and fee are agreed in writing.
We rebuild the record. Trades are normalised, costs separated from gross result, and the metric set published on the method page computed against your sample. That includes the least commercial test in this industry: whether the sample is large enough to support a conclusion at all.
You receive a document. Findings, the arithmetic behind each one, and the point where the data stops supporting them. Where the evidence points to stopping a method, the report says so in those words.
What is never requested, at any stage
Account passwords. API keys carrying trade or withdrawal permission. Wallet seed phrases. Remote access to a terminal. Exchange keys, where they are used at all, are read-only and you revoke them the day the report arrives. Anyone in this market asking for more than a read-only export has stopped doing analysis and started doing something else.
04 · The deliverable
Read a full report before commissioning one.
The complete sample sits in the open. No email gate, no partial preview, no account. Figures inside it are constructed and labelled as constructed. Structure, depth of working and the wording of conclusions are exactly what a commissioned review returns.
Judging the work from the work takes about fifteen minutes. Judging it from claims about the work takes longer and tells you less.
05 · Independence
The commercial reason to trust a verdict.
Almost every product sold to a retail trader earns more when that trader trades more. Signal rooms, courses, prop challenges, copy-trading platforms, introducing brokers taking a cut of the spread. The incentive is structural. It does not go away because the person selling is sincere, and most of them are.
Volume is worth nothing here. No rebates from brokers or exchanges, no revenue share, no referral fee, no performance-linked pricing, no managed accounts. Turning down broker rebates costs real money in this business. It is also the only arrangement under which a review can return a finding the client will dislike.
- No introducing-broker agreements, and no recommendation of any venue.
- No signals, no copy trading, no discretionary management.
- Fees do not move with your results, so the findings have no stake in them.
- Conclusions are delivered as written. That outcome is priced in from the start.
06 · Limits
Worth knowing before you spend anything.
A review is a diagnostic on a record that already exists. Several things sit outside what such a record can support, and setting them out here is cheaper for both sides than discovering them later.
- No price forecast, no market outlook, no opinion on where anything is heading.
- Not investment advice, and not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any instrument.
- A method with no measurable edge does not acquire one by being reviewed.
- Below roughly two hundred trades, skill and luck are frequently indistinguishable. The report says that plainly rather than manufacture a finding to justify its fee.
- Conclusions describe the period your data covers. Conditions change, and nothing in a past record binds a future one.
- We do not audit your broker, verify custody of funds, or confirm that the fills in your statement occurred as reported.
07 · Blog
The method, applied in public.
Working notes on statistics, backtest validation, position sizing, execution costs and the behaviour a trade log gives away. Written for people who want the reasoning rather than the conclusion.

Start with a description, not a file.
Tell us the shape of the problem. What comes back is the scope a review would cover, what it would cost, and a straight answer on whether your sample is large enough to be worth reviewing yet. Sometimes it is not, and saying so early is part of the service.
