Editorial standards
Editorial policy
Independence, verifiability and plain statements of uncertainty. These are the rules our editorial group works to on every page.
Independence
No commercial arrangement determines what we publish or what we conclude. We do not sell placement in our research, we do not publish sponsored conclusions, and we do not link to the platforms we discuss, including IronBridge Markets. If a commercial relationship ever existed, it would be disclosed prominently on the affected page.
Sourcing
- Platform statements are drawn from publicly available documentation.
- Market mechanics are described from established, widely documented practice.
- We do not reproduce marketing claims as findings.
- Where a fact cannot be verified publicly, we label it as unverified or omit it.
What we will not publish
- Guaranteed or implied profit claims of any kind
- Fabricated ratings, awards, testimonials or user results
- Claims of regulatory status, licensing or partnership we cannot substantiate
- Urgency or pressure tactics designed to push readers toward trading
- Personalised financial, investment or trading advice
Review and revision
Articles are reviewed by the Financial Markets Research Team before publication and revisited periodically. Each research page carries a last-reviewed date. Substantive changes are reflected in that date; factual corrections are made promptly once verified.
Risk framing
Every page that discusses trading includes risk context. We consider it an editorial failure to describe an opportunity without describing the corresponding exposure — see risk management in trading for the framework we apply.
Corrections
If you identify an error, we will verify it against public sources and, where confirmed, correct the page and note the revision. Our approach to platform assessment is documented in our research methodology.
