The honest numbers behind trying to make money in markets.

Independent data on brokers, prop firms and crypto exchanges. Most comparison sites tell you which firm to buy. We show you the evidence on what happens after you do, with a receipt for every number.

How our numbers work

• Primary sourcesFirms' own pages and public archives, collected by us.
• Read by our scriptEvery figure.
• Second read for CFD figuresIndependent and automated. If the reads disagree, the published figure stays until a fresh UK read confirms the change.
• Source and date on every numberEach page says which checks its figures have had.

Who we are

TradingLookup is run from the UK by its two founders, Alexander Burnett and Sydney Stones.

We're both former traders. Between us we've traded forex, index futures and crypto, so we've paid the fees, read the fine print and lived with the rules these tools check. For the last two years we've been building websites and data products, which is how we came to build the tools we wished we'd had.

What we publish

• CFD loss ratesEach provider's own loss-rate figure, with quarterly history.
• UK crypto licence trackerFCA register and Warning List status of crypto platforms used in the UK.
• Open dataEvery dataset as a free CSV (CC BY 4.0).

Publishing gate. Every page needs at least one dated, sourced figure we collected ourselves, so we don't cover every firm. See the gates.

How we stay independent

Data pages never carry affiliate links. Nobody can pay to change a figure, a ranking or a place on a data page.

• How we make moneyIncome, and what it never touches.
• Editorial policySourcing, wording and fixes.
• CorrectionsMistakes fixed in public.

Not financial advice. No personal financial advice, and no recommendation to buy, sell or hold any product. Leveraged trading and crypto carry a high risk of losing money: see risk warnings.
