Editorial Policy

Scope

We publish evergreen educational material on trading process: how markets and orders work, risk management, technical analysis, market structure, psychology, trading plans, and the mechanics of crypto and futures products.

We do not publish market commentary, price forecasts, signals, trade ideas, news, or anything that depends on being read within a particular week.

The three-question test

Before anything is published, it must pass all three:

1. Is it true, and can a reader check it? Claims that are not self-evidently definitional need a source a reader can follow.
2. Would it still be accurate in two years? If not, it either needs rewriting to be evergreen or it does not belong here.
3. Does it tell someone what to do with their money? If yes, it is rewritten or dropped. We teach process; we do not direct decisions.

Structure requirements

Every lesson carries, without exception:

• An answer-first introduction that states the substance before the throat-clearing
• Explicit learning objectives
• A risks-and-limitations section that says what the material cannot do
• Common mistakes
• A knowledge check
• Key takeaways
• Named author, reviewer status and last-reviewed date
• Sources
• An educational disclaimer

The risks section is mandatory and is written honestly. If a technique has a known failure mode, the lesson says so on the same page as the technique.

Examples

All worked examples are hypothetical and labelled as such. We do not publish real trades, real positions or real results — ours or anyone else's — because a worked example that looks like a track record functions as one whether or not that was the intention.

Independence

No advertiser, exchange or partner sees content before publication or has any input into it. Commission is excluded from the scoring of exchange reviews by construction, as set out in the review methodology.

Where a page includes a referral link, it is disclosed at the point of use.

Review cadence

Lessons are reviewed on a scheduled cadence and after any material change in the underlying subject. The last-reviewed date on each lesson is real: it changes only when the lesson is actually re-read, not when the file is touched.

Where a lesson has not yet been reviewed by a named subject-matter reviewer, it is labelled "editorial draft" on the page. That is the current state of every lesson in this build.

Translations

English is the source language. A translation is only indexed once it has been reviewed; until then it is served with a noindex directive and carries a visible notice that it is an unreviewed draft. We do not publish bulk machine translation.
