Use this source-first checklist to evaluate a trading analytics platform with your own data. It is designed for traders, teams, consultants, and editors who need a repeatable method without relying on vendor feature counts or unsupported competitor claims.

## 1. Import fidelity

- Test the exact broker, platform, exchange, and account types you use.
- Confirm that account, symbol, direction, size, timestamps, fees, and realized P&L survive the import.
- Compare a sample of imported trades with the original broker statement.
- Record available history depth, refresh timing, duplicate handling, and correction workflows.

## 2. Evidence traceability

- Ask whether each finding identifies the sample and calculation that produced it.
- Check whether supporting trades can be opened from the finding.
- Look for confidence, limitations, and minimum-sample disclosures.
- Separate historical measurement from predictions, signals, or return promises.

## 3. Decision workflow

- Confirm that a supported finding can become a specific rule or review action.
- Check whether later trades can be measured against that rule.
- Prefer a closed loop: import, detect, define a rule, monitor, and review again.

## 4. Risk and account context

- Compare account-level and consolidated analytics before relying on blended P&L.
- Test drawdown, position sizing, loss concentration, and session-level risk views.
- For prop accounts, independently verify every limit and account value with the provider's official dashboard.
- Confirm alert timing and understand that an analytics platform cannot prevent a breach.

## 5. Commercial terms

- Verify current plan prices, billing periods, renewal behavior, and usage limits.
- Confirm whether a free offer is a trial, a permanent tier, or a limited diagnostic.
- Read the refund and cancellation terms before checkout.
- Test data export and deletion before committing long term.

## 6. Security and control

- Prefer read-only account connections when execution access is not required.
- Review encryption, credential storage, account deletion, and data-sale policies.
- Confirm which employees, vendors, or AI providers can access trading data.
- Verify whether model training or anonymous benchmarking is opt-in or opt-out.
