How to read the notes below
Written for people starting out
Every note here assumes no market background. Where a term is unavoidable, it's explained the first time it appears, and where rules differ by region, that's stated plainly rather than glossed over.
What you won't 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 notes are updated
Notes are revisited whenever the underlying rules change — a new regulation, a new reporting requirement, a shift in how deposits are handled. The date shown is the last time it was checked, not when it was first written.
