What is this policy for?
The LumexTrader editorial policy sets out how our answers are researched, written, checked and corrected, so you can judge how much weight to give them.
Our pages cover subjects where a wrong figure can cost a reader money, from a leverage cap to a network name. That is why we treat checking as the main part of the job, not an afterthought.
Which sources do we use?
- Regulators' own publications and registers, for rules such as leverage caps, bans and client protections.
- Exchange and index-provider documents, for trading hours, settlement and index methods.
- Protocol documentation and public blockchain data, for how networks such as Bitcoin work.
- Issuers' disclosures, such as stablecoin reserve reports, clearly described as the issuer's own statements.
Where a page relies on a specific rule or date, the source is named at the end of the page. We do not use unsourced statistics, and we do not publish price forecasts.
How are pages written and checked?
AI tools help us draft; an editor reviews every page before it is published.
Drafting tools speed up structure and first wording. They also make mistakes, so every draft is checked by an editor against the sources, rewritten where needed, and read for clarity on a phone screen. Every worked example is recalculated independently, and numbers that are illustrations are labelled as such. Calculators are tested against those examples.
How do we choose topics?
Topics come from the questions beginners actually ask: what a stablecoin is, which network to use, what a fee really costs, how to check a provider. We prioritise questions where a clear answer can prevent a costly mistake. We do not write news, market commentary or daily price updates, because those age within hours and invite the kind of prediction we avoid.
How do we handle rules that change?
Regulation around crypto and leveraged trading changes often. When a page depends on a specific rule, such as a leverage cap or a settlement cycle, we note the source and review it when the rule-maker announces changes. If we cannot confirm a current figure, we describe the rule in general terms instead of printing a number that may be out of date.
How do we stay independent?
We accept no payment from brokers, exchanges, app makers or token projects. We do not run affiliate links, sponsored posts or paid rankings. We do not name or review real trading firms, and we never recommend specific coins or shares. Our aim is to explain how things work and how to check a provider, not to steer anyone towards one.
Who is responsible for the content?
LumexTrader's editorial team is responsible for everything published on the site. We do not attach invented bylines or credentials to pages; the process described here is what stands behind each answer.
What will we never do?
- Offer accounts, trading, signals, managed accounts or investment advice.
- Invent statistics, testimonials, reviews, awards, licences or experts.
- Promise returns or predict prices.
- Contact readers with investment offers.
How are errors corrected?
If you find a mistake, tell us through the contact page. We check the report against the source, fix confirmed errors promptly and update the page date. When a rule changes, we update the affected pages as soon as we can confirm the change. More about the site is on who we are.
