What I've Actually Put Money Into
I don't review things I haven't paid for. That sounds like a low bar until you look at what passes for a review online — a rewritten pricing page with an affiliate link stapled to the bottom. You can usually tell, because nothing in it could only be known by someone with money in the account.
Five brokers, funded with real money. Webull is where I place my day trades. TradeZero is where I go for the low-priced tickers Webull won't let me open — a constraint I discovered by getting blocked mid-trade, and the entire reason I keep both accounts. Robinhood, Moomoo, and Public are accounts I hold and use, and not one of them made my day-trading shortlist. The broker comparison puts ten of them side by side.
Two educators, reviewed on opposite terms. I paid full price for Kev's Trade Momentum bootcamp, and I earn a commission if you join through my link — which is precisely why I say so on the page, in the FAQ, and again above the button. StocksToTrade I have no relationship with at all, financial or otherwise. That's worth knowing, because it means my four-star review of StocksToTrade cost me nothing to write — and the honest four is more useful to you than somebody else's paid-for five.
And the tools are free because they should be. The position size calculator exists because I once blew through my own stop and turned a $25 risk into a four-figure loss. It runs in your browser, it asks for nothing, and it puts the number in front of you before you click buy instead of after. If you're earlier than all of this, start with the glossary — 235 terms in plain English, free, no signup.
