How to read the notes below
Written for people starting out
Every note here assumes no background in markets. Where a term cannot be avoided it is explained the first time it appears, and where a rule differs across countries, that difference is stated plainly rather than glossed over.
What you will not find
No price predictions and no guaranteed signals. A promised return is the clearest warning sign in this industry, and we are not going to 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 to how deposits are handled. The date shown is when it was last checked, not when it was first written.
