The Audited Traders Alliance (ATA) is a repository of trading
talent backed by extensive third-party verification.
This initiative was created in response to the proliferating
amount of wannabe trading gurus and outright scammers
across all of social media, who thrive on anecdotal evidence,
social proof, and other gaslighting tactics. This obscene
situation has drowned out actual trading talent and made
it almost impossible for new comers to know which traders
are actually worth listening to.
The ATA intends to clear up the fog by promoting the only
prevailing industry standard that is valid for vetting trading
credentials: a third-party audited track record.
By solving this issue, the ATA stands as a one-stop shop to
identify & value those rare few legitimate traders with a voice
on social media.
The ATA uses 6 quantified criteria to rate traders and bridge the
trust gap between them and their community.
The ATA uses the best third-party auditing & ranking services
available to retail traders, both for real-money & sim accounts, in
order to evaluate them fairly and thoroughly.
