Our method

The rankings editorial charter

The rules of Tradoshi's rankings: nothing can be bought, every score has its source and date, and a school can dispute a criterion with a fact.

2027 edition · updated October 28, 2026 · next updates planned for December 2026 and January 2027 · Ranking methodology

Independence

  • The ranking cannot be bought. Neither Tradoshi partner status, nor any payment, nor any advertising enters into a score or a rank.
  • A Tradoshi partner school is rated with the same methodology as every other school. Its partner status may appear on its directory listing, never in a ranking.
  • Tradoshi publishes a trading journal and the Oshi Academy. The Oshi Academy is never ranked, and no trading journal is ranked in this section.

Sources

  • Every score comes from a written scale published in the methodology, never from an opinion.
  • Every score carries its public source and the date it was read, shown on the school's listing. Data that cannot be found is never estimated.
  • The data comes from public sources: schools' websites, company and regulator registers, accrediting bodies, review platforms, open web data. No commercial SEO tool score is used.
  • A school's country never enters into a score.

Editions and dates

  • One edition a year. The data for the 2027 edition is frozen on December 15, 2026, with updates in December and January.
  • Every page shows the date it was updated, and every criterion the date it was read.
  • A school that does not meet the entry conditions is not ranked, and it is not named in a ranking.

Corrections and re-evaluation

  • A school can dispute a specific criterion of its rating, with a verifiable fact and its evidence, by writing to contact@tradoshi.com with the subject “Re-evaluation request, school name, criterion # …”. An opinion is not enough.
  • Every request gets a reasoned answer within 15 days. If the fact is established, the score is corrected and the correction is dated.
  • A school can also claim its directory listing to complete its information. What it adds there does not change its rating.
