How to read the notes below
Written for people starting out
Every note here assumes no background in markets. Where a term is unavoidable, it is explained the first time it appears, and where a rule differs by country, that is stated rather than glossed over.
What you will not find
No price predictions and no trading signals. Any promise of a guaranteed return is the clearest warning sign in this industry, and we will not add to it.
How often notes are updated
Notes are revisited whenever the underlying rules change — a new regulation, a new reporting requirement, a change in how deposits are handled. The date on each note reflects when it was last checked, not when it was first written.
