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's explained the first time it appears, and where a rule differs by country, that's stated rather than glossed over.
What you won't find
No price predictions and no trading signals. Any claim of a guaranteed return is the clearest warning sign in this industry, and we're not going to add to it.
How often notes are updated
Notes are revisited whenever the underlying rules change — new regulation, a new reporting requirement, or a change in how deposits are handled. The date shown is when it was last checked, not when it was first written.
