This page describes how content on the TradersPost blog is produced, who checks it, and what happens when something needs to change. It is the document referenced as our publishing principles in the structured data on our author and article pages.
Every article carries a named author. Where the author has a profile page, the byline links to it; the profile lists that person's role, the topics they cover, and any professional credentials they hold, along with the body that awarded them. We publish this because a reader deciding whether to trust an article about futures or options should be able to see who wrote it and what qualifies them to do so.
Where an article is written by TradersPost rather than an individual, it is attributed to TradersPost.
We use AI tools in producing our content: to research a topic, to draft, and to flag published articles that may have fallen out of date. We would rather tell you that plainly than leave you to guess.
Nothing publishes on that basis alone. Every article is reviewed by a person before it goes live, and every statement in it is checked for two things: whether it is accurate, and whether it is still relevant to the reader. The author is accountable for the article, and where a reviewer is credited that person has checked it independently. Both are named on the page and, where they have a profile page, linked to it, so the review has someone's name against it.
The same applies to sources. Where AI research offers a source for a claim, the source is checked rather than taken on trust, and a page that does not actually support the claim is not cited for it.
Articles can carry two further named credits alongside the author:
Both credits appear in the article byline and, where that person has a profile page, link to it. Where a credit is absent, no such review was recorded for that article.
Where a claim can be sourced, we cite the source in the article as a numbered footnote you can follow. That matters most for the things readers act on: a broker's fees, a platform's supported markets, an order type, a contract specification. You should be able to check those against the original rather than take our word for them.
When we revisit an article we also check that the pages it cites are still reachable, and we do not keep a citation attached to a claim it does not support.
When a published article changes in a way that affects what it tells a reader, we record the change on the article itself rather than editing silently. Each entry is dated and categorised:
These entries are shown to readers in an update history on the article. We also record periodic reviews that confirm an article is still accurate; because nothing changed for the reader, those are kept for our own records and are not shown as updates and do not change the article's published update date.
Brokers change their fees, their supported markets and their platforms, so an article that was accurate the day it was written can stop being accurate without anyone touching it. Publishing is not the end of our responsibility for it.
We review published articles as they age, from a couple of months old up to around a year, checking each one for accuracy and for whether it is still relevant. A review ends one of two ways: the article is corrected or updated, which appears in its update history above, or it is confirmed as still current, which we record for our own tracking without changing the article's published update date. We do not move that date for a review that changed nothing, because it would tell you an article was revised when it was not.
TradersPost is an independent platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any broker, exchange, or trading platform we write about unless we say so explicitly. Where we describe a supported integration, that reflects technical compatibility and not a commercial relationship. See our Important Disclosures for the full statement, including trademark notices.
Our articles are educational. They are not financial, investment, or trading advice, and they are not recommendations to buy or sell anything. Trading carries a risk of loss. See our Important Disclosures for the complete disclaimers.
If you believe something we have published is inaccurate, contact us at [email protected] with the article and the specific claim. We will look into it and, where a correction is needed, record it in the article's update history.
