Acceptable use

Last updated: 4 November 2026.

These rules keep Trading Checkup fair, fast and safe for everyone. They are part of our terms of use. Most people will never need to read them: use the tools for your own trading questions and you are fine.

You may

• Use every tool for your own learning and your own trading questions.
• Share links, and screenshots of your own results, for personal and non-commercial use.
• Upload your own trade files, or files you have permission to use.

You must not

• Scrape or copy: use bots, scripts or bulk requests to collect pages, answers, prices, headlines or results; copy our tools, lessons or data into another product; or get around rate limits.
• Overload or attack: try to break into, probe, slow down or disrupt the site, its server or other users' accounts; upload malware or files built to harm us.
• Share or resell accounts: let other people use your account or membership, sell access, or create many accounts to get around limits or free trials.
• Misuse prices: give a false country, phone or payment details to get another country's price.
• Misuse results: present a Trading Checkup result as financial advice, a recommendation, a guarantee or an endorsement, or say a tip, signal, course or fund was “checked” or “approved” by us.
• Other people's data: upload files or send messages that contain other people's personal information without their permission.
• Break the law: use the site for anything unlawful, including fraud, scams, market manipulation or harassment.
• Fool the AI: try to make the search or Tess produce harmful content, or hide instructions in uploads or questions.

Fair-use limits (free beta)

While the site is a free beta, some tools have fair-use limits so the free service stays fast for everyone: Workspace runs (5 per account every 30 days) and written search answers (a daily number, more when you are signed in). Tip Check, the Trade Planner, Truth Test and Prop Coach have no limit. When you reach a limit, the page offers Ask support to refresh it: up to 2 requests per account every 30 days. Please do not make extra accounts or use other tricks to get around a limit; requests from throwaway email addresses are turned down.

What happens if the rules are broken

We may slow down or block access, remove content, or suspend or close an account. Where we reasonably can, we tell you why and give you a chance to explain. If you paid, you get a fair refund for the unused part unless the account was closed for fraud or abuse. Serious matters (for example attacks or fraud) may be reported to the police.

Found a weakness?

Please tell us as described on our security page rather than testing it on real users.
