Why we exist
The trading niche in Brazil is dominated by two extremes: on one side, arid and inaccessible technical content (code forums, English-only documentation); on the other, sellers of "infallible bots" and "guaranteed signals" who live off promises the math does not support. A bridge was missing — someone to translate the genuinely technical part (Python, MQL5, APIs, automation) into language the retail trader understands, while staying honest about risk.
That is what we are. We do not sell get-rich-quick dreams. We teach you to build, test and understand automation tools, always making clear where the risk is — because a well-informed trader is a trader who survives.
Our editorial principles
Honesty above conversion
If a broker or a product is not worth it, we say so — even when it costs us a commission. An honest review is the basis of trust.
Risk always spelled out
Most retail traders lose money. We do not hide that. Every piece of content carries the real risk warning, with no fine print.
Focus on regulated markets
We prioritize Brazil's B3 exchange, regulated Forex and legitimate tools. With binary options, we always keep the high risk and the absence of regulation visible — so you can decide with the facts in hand.
Open source and verifiable
Our example bots are open source. You see every line before you run them. Technical transparency, not a black box.
How we rate brokers
Our scores are neither random nor paid for. We rate every broker on the criteria that actually affect the results of anyone running automation, with different weights:
Execution and latency
Execution speed, slippage, stability in high volatility. Vital for bots and scalping.
Real costs
Effective spread, commission, swap, currency conversion. The total cost, not the advertised one.
Regulation and safety
Licenses, segregation of funds, jurisdiction, track record. The solidity behind the broker.
Withdrawals
Speed, available methods, history of problems. There is no point in making a profit if you cannot withdraw it.
Automation support
Does it allow EAs, scalping, HFT? Which platforms? Is a VPS available?
Notice what does not count: the "sign-up bonus". A bonus says nothing about the quality of a broker — it is marketing bait. We ignore it.
Our affiliate policy (transparent)
How we make money — straight up
RoboTraderIA is funded by affiliate links. When you open an account with a regulated broker through our links and trade, we may receive a commission — at no additional cost to you.
What that does not do: it does not change our scores, it does not buy positive reviews, it does not influence what we recommend. A bad broker stays rated as bad, with or without an affiliate program.
Every page that contains an affiliate link carries a visible notice at the top. No fine print, nothing hidden.
A warning about binary options: they are extremely high-risk products and most users lose money — the number one complaint is blocked withdrawals. The platforms mentioned are not regulated by Brazil's securities regulator (CVM) or by any recognized financial regulator. The law on this varies from country to country — check the rules in force in your jurisdiction before trading. Our analyses cover the pros, the cons and the risk warning for each platform.
How we produce content
Our guides combine primary-source research (broker websites, regulators such as the CVM and CySEC, technical documentation), up-to-date market data and hands-on automation experience. Update dates are visible on every page. When something changes — a tax rule, a broker's terms — we update it and mark it.
We do not use mass-generated content without review. Every guide is structured to actually teach, not to "rank and deceive".
