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 on first use, and where a rule differs by jurisdiction, that's stated rather than glossed over.
What you will not find
No price predictions and no trading signals. Any promise of a guaranteed return is the clearest warning sign in this industry, and we won't add to it.
How often it is updated
Notes are revisited whenever the underlying rules change — new regulation, new reporting requirements, changes to how deposits are handled. The date on each note is when it was last checked, not when it was first written.
