Correction Policy

Principle

We will get things wrong. The question is what happens next, and the answer is: it gets fixed publicly, with a date, and with a note saying what changed.

Silently editing an error out of a page is the thing we are avoiding. A reader who acted on the earlier version deserves to know it changed.

Categories

Typographical and formatting. Fixed without a note.

Clarification. The original was accurate but ambiguous. The page is updated and the last-reviewed date changes.

Factual correction. The original was wrong. The page is corrected and carries a dated correction note describing what was wrong and what it now says. The note stays.

Retraction. The claim cannot be supported at all. The claim is removed, and the page carries a note explaining that it was removed and why. We do not delete the page and pretend it never existed.

Timeliness

Errors that could affect a reader's financial decisions — a wrong formula, a wrong statement about how an order type or a margin mechanism behaves — are prioritised and corrected as soon as they are confirmed.

What we will not do

• Remove a correction note once it has been published
• Edit a factual error out of a page without acknowledging it
• Change a last-reviewed date to imply a review that did not happen
• Correct a page and leave the same error standing elsewhere on the site

That last one is a real failure mode: a formula corrected in one lesson and left wrong in another is still wrong. Corrections are applied across the site, not just where the error was reported.

Reporting

Send the URL, the specific claim, and — if you have one — a source. We will confirm we have received it and tell you the outcome, including if we conclude the original was correct.
