### How we collect claims

Return, win-rate, accuracy and beat-the-market claims from a product's own website, app-store listing, official posts or press releases, with the link and the date we saw it. Short quotes are exact; longer claims are paraphrased and marked. Spot an error or an update? [Tell us](https://tradingagentstack.com/submit/).

Not financial advice. Grades describe the evidence, not the product. Past results don't predict future results.
