The ZentraTrader editorial policy exists so that readers can judge our pages by the process behind them rather than by our say-so. It covers where information comes from, how drafts become published guides, how we keep them independent and what happens when we get something wrong.
Which sources do we rely on?
We start from primary material wherever it exists:
- regulators' rules, policy statements, registers and consumer warnings;
- exchange rulebooks and published trading hours;
- issuer disclosures, such as stablecoin reserve reports and terms;
- protocol documentation and on-chain data for crypto networks;
- official statistics and central bank publications.
Where a guide depends on a specific rule, limit or date, the source is named at the foot of the page as plain text. We do not link out, and we do not rely on other websites' summaries, marketing material or social media posts for facts.
How is a page drafted and checked?
- Question list. Each guide starts as a list of the questions a reader in that situation is likely to ask.
- Drafting. Drafts may be prepared with the help of AI writing tools. We use them to speed up structure and wording, not as a source of facts.
- Fact check. An editor checks every factual claim against a primary source, removes anything that cannot be supported and rewrites unclear passages.
- Arithmetic check. Every worked example is recalculated independently, and calculator formulas are tested against those examples.
- Risk review. Pages about leverage, derivatives or crypto are checked for clear risk wording.
Pages carry the date of their last review. Rules change, so we revisit guides when regulators or exchanges announce changes that affect them.
How do we use AI tools, specifically?
AI drafting tools help us turn a question list into a first structure and suggest clearer wording. They are not treated as a source: an AI-generated statement of fact is only kept if an editor can confirm it against primary material, and figures produced by a tool are recalculated separately. Tools are prone to confident errors about dates, limits and rules, so those are exactly the details we check most carefully. We do not publish pages that have not been reviewed by a person, and responsibility for every published sentence lies with ZentraTrader, not with any tool.
How do we stay independent?
ZentraTrader does not accept payment, affiliate commissions, free services or any other benefit from brokers, exchanges, prop firms, token projects or wallet providers. No firm sees or approves our content before publication. We do not name, rank or review real trading companies, because a ranking cannot account for a reader's country, needs or risk tolerance and quickly goes out of date.
What the ZentraTrader editorial policy never allows
- Price predictions, trade signals or recommendations of particular coins, shares or currencies.
- Performance claims, testimonials, user numbers or invented statistics.
- Named experts or credentials we cannot show you.
- Offers of accounts, bonuses, trading services or fund recovery.
How are corrections handled?
If you find an error, please tell us through the contact page with the page address and what you believe is wrong. We check the claim against the source, fix confirmed errors promptly and update the review date. Significant corrections that change a figure or a conclusion are noted on the page.
