How We Create & Review Content
Our standards for accuracy, transparency, and beginner-friendly education. Every piece of content follows this pipeline.
Editorial Standards
Beginner-First
Every article must be understandable by a complete beginner. No jargon explained by other jargon.
Actionable
Every article ends with something you can do right now — a calculation, a template, or a journal entry.
Risk-Aware
All strategy content includes risk warnings and max drawdown data. No "guaranteed returns" language.
Source-Grounded
News content cites real URLs from web_search. Fabricated source names are blocked by automated lint.
No Affiliate Bias
We earn no commissions from broker referrals. Reviews are independent and informational only.
Dated & Versioned
All content is dated. We do not silently edit historical articles — corrections are noted explicitly.
Content Production Pipeline
AI Draft
Content is drafted using EZ4CODE API (deepseek-v3.2) with web_search for real-time data. Structured prompts enforce beginner-friendly tone.
Automated Lint
lint-content.ts checks for code-fence wrapping, non-ASCII characters, fabricated source names, frontmatter completeness, and minimum body length. Fails CI if any violation.
Structural Review
Each piece is reviewed for factual accuracy, internal consistency, beginner readability, and proper risk warnings.
Publish & Monitor
Published content is periodically re-reviewed. Outdated content is flagged for update or archived.
Sourcing Methodology
News articles use web_search to retrieve real, current sources. The AI is instructed to cite only URLs returned by the search API — never to fabricate sources.
Blog, strategy, and course content is based on established trading education best practices and publicly available market data.
All content includes a "Not financial advice" disclaimer. We do not provide personalized investment recommendations.
Correction Policy
Found an error? Email [email protected] — we read every message.
Factual errors are corrected within 48 hours of verification.
Corrections add a "Correction: [date] — [description]" note at the bottom of the article. We do not silently delete content.
