Editorial team & standards
Who writes AllinAllSpace, and the standards we work to.
The people behind the site.
Published under the AllinAllSpace Editorial Team name, to protect the privacy of the people who write for us.
AllinAllSpace is produced by a team of traders, analysts and writers. We started in 2019 trying to cover everything, and over time narrowed down to what we know best: markets, instruments, and the companies that offer access to them.
Markets are noisy. Our job is to cut through it and tell you what we think, why we think it, and where we could be wrong. The editorial team stands behind everything we publish.

What we aim for.
We aim to publish accurate, clear and useful analysis and reviews for traders and investors. We write to inform, not to promote.
Where we favour something, we explain why, and we cover the costs and risks as well as the benefits.
Analysis, reviews and opinion.
Three kinds of work, and we try to make it clear which one you are reading.
Analysis
In-depth pieces on the markets, world and geopolitical issues, and technology and AI. Some aim to give a balanced, unbiased outlook. Others are our own opinion on where markets might be heading, and are written as opinion.
Reviews
Reviews of investment and CFD brokers, trading tools, and investing and savings platforms. We look at who regulates the company and where client money is held, what it costs to trade and withdraw, the platform and tools, the markets on offer, and the quality of support.
Guides
Educational content and a few free tools, such as a market watchlist and a 52-week scanner.
How a piece gets made.
Research
We start from primary sources where we can: company filings, regulator registers, a provider’s own fee schedules and terms, and market data.
Write
The writer is clear about what is fact, what is analysis, and what is opinion, and shows the reasoning rather than only the conclusion.
Review
Every piece is reviewed by a member of the team before it goes live. Broker and platform reviews are signed off by the editor.
Check
For reviews, we check fees, regulation and features against the provider’s current terms.
Date and update
Pieces carry a date, and we update them when something material changes.
How we make money.
Last updated October 2026Whether our view is worth anything depends on whether you can see where our own interests lie. So here is how we are paid, and the rules that keep that separate from what we write.
We earn money from affiliate commissions. When you click a link to a broker or platform and open an account, we may be paid by that company, at no extra cost to you. We also earn from advertising, sponsored content and paid directory listings, and these are labelled as such.
What money does not buy
Verdicts
Payment does not decide what a review says. Where a review is paid for, it is labelled, and the verdict is ours.
Rankings
A company cannot pay to be ranked higher, to receive a better score, or to have a negative point removed.
Approval
Companies do not see or approve our reviews before they are published.
Criticism
We do not remove or soften a finding because a company asks, or because it pays us a commission.
Affiliate links and the directory
Links to brokers and platforms are usually affiliate links, and are marked as such. If you are unsure whether a link is an affiliate link, assume it is. Whether we earn a commission has no effect on what we say or how we rank.
Being listed in our directory is not an endorsement. Free listings cost nothing, and Premium listings are paid and marked as such. We decide who is included, and we may decline or remove a company we do not think retail traders should be pointed towards.
Positions we hold
We do not currently hold positions in the assets or companies we write about. If that changes for a particular piece, we will say so on that piece.
Trading carries risk.
Everything on AllinAllSpace is research and opinion. It is not personal financial advice, and it does not take your circumstances into account.
Trading and investing carry risk, and you can lose some or all of your money. Leveraged products such as CFDs are complex, and carry a high risk of rapid loss. Before opening an account, read the provider’s own risk disclosure, and speak to a licensed adviser if you need advice.
Spot a mistake? Tell us.
Fees, regulation and products change. If you think we have got something wrong, or you have a question about anything on this page, tell us and we will look at it. If we get something wrong, we correct it.
