Personal experience
A fact I know from my own trading or operation of the site. I state the scope directly and do not present it as an exchange test unless I completed that exact test.

I made more than $10M trading crypto
How I define the $10M+ figure, what records I reviewed, and what it does—and does not—mean.
How I use the $10M+ figure
My trading history
I'm Mercy Park, the founder and operator of Trade Shortlist. I started with roughly $10K and made more than $10M in cumulative gains through crypto arbitrage and futures. That is my trading history and the experience behind this site.
Before publishing the figure here, I reviewed years of contemporaneous records documenting sustained trading, arbitrage and futures methods, repeated profit reporting, major risk lessons, and my eventual decision to step back from full-time trading.
I have not published a third-party audit, complete account statements, or a transaction-by-transaction calculation. The figure refers to cumulative historical trading gains—not current net worth, assets under management, site revenue, or a result another person should expect to reproduce.
If I later publish a redacted calculation package or independent verification, this page will identify exactly what was reviewed, the covered dates and accounts, and the treatment of deposits, withdrawals, transfers, unrealized gains, fees, and duplicate records.
Page evidence labels
Five source types, never one vague claim of “tested”
Direct test
A Trade Shortlist operator personally completed the specific step described, such as signup, KYC, deposit, trade, or withdrawal. The page must state the tested scope, date, region, method, and any material limitation.
Official documentation
The claim was checked against an exchange's own fee, support, listing, campaign, terms, or product page. This does not prove that the same route is available to every reader.
Editorial research
The page combines available sources into a practical route or comparison. It must not be presented as a hands-on test when no direct test was completed.
Market-data snapshot
Price, market-cap, or coin background comes from a named market-data source and is contextual only. It is not a live exchange listing or withdrawal-status guarantee.
Corrections and missing evidence
If a page labels a source incorrectly, omits a material regional limitation, or claims a direct test without enough detail, email tradeshortlist@gmail.com. Commercial relationships are explained separately in the affiliate disclosure.
