About Manhattan Trading Desk

Why This Site Exists

Most information available about trading platforms falls into two categories: promotional material produced by the platforms themselves, and affiliate content written to generate signups. Neither serves a reader who simply wants to understand how something works. We started this desk to occupy the space in between — structured, plainly written research that treats a platform as a system to be documented rather than a product to be sold.

What We Publish

• Educational guides on market structure, strategy design, risk and psychology.
• Platform research documenting interface, cost structure, order handling and disclosure quality — most prominently our RORMarkets review.
• Reference material explaining terminology without assuming prior knowledge.

Independence Statement

Manhattan Trading Desk is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to RORMarkets or any other trading platform, broker or financial institution. We do not link to platform signup pages, we do not accept payment for coverage or for favourable conclusions, and we do not operate referral arrangements. Our conclusions can and do change as platforms change.

What We Do Not Do

• We do not provide trading, brokerage or investment management services.
• We do not accept deposits or process any transaction of any kind.
• We do not offer personalised financial, investment or trading advice.
• We do not guarantee outcomes, returns or platform availability.
