How to read the notes below
Written for people just starting out
Every article here assumes no market background. Where a term can't be avoided, it's explained the first time it appears, and where rules differ by country, that's stated plainly rather than glossed over.
What you won't find here
No price predictions and no signals. A promised guaranteed return is the clearest warning sign in this industry, and we won't add to it.
How often we update these notes
Notes are revisited whenever the underlying rules change - a new regulation, a new reporting requirement, a shift in how deposits are handled. The date on each note is when it was last checked, not when it was first written.
