Account Analysis

When we decided to create this project, we knew that we have to offer our traders an unbiased look at their trading results. Why? Because it does not matter if the trader is a beginner or a professional, another opinion is always invaluable. For many traders, trading is also a lonely activity where many times, even your closest ones do not understand what you do on your computer for so many hours.
