Editorial Policy

Independence

No platform, broker, introducer or marketing agency pays for coverage on this site. We publish no affiliate links and operate no referral arrangements. Any future change to this position would be disclosed prominently on this page and on every affected article before it took effect.

Sourcing

• Primary sources first: published terms, fee schedules, regulatory registers and official help documentation.
• Secondary sources are used only for context and are identified as such within the text.
• Claims we cannot verify are either omitted or explicitly labelled as unverified open questions.

Review process

Every article moves through three stages: drafting by a subject writer, technical review by a researcher who checks each factual claim against sources, and editorial review for clarity, balance and compliance with this policy. Firstrade24-specific pages receive an additional independence check to ensure no language implies affiliation or endorsement.

Dating and revisions

Each page carries a publication date and, where applicable, a revision date. Substantive revisions to the Firstrade24 review are noted with the date of change. We do not silently edit conclusions.

Ratings

Scores are produced by the weighted criteria model described on our research methodology page. Scores measure documented capability and transparency. They are not predictions of performance, statements of suitability, or recommendations to open an account anywhere.

Advertising and conflicts of interest

Should advertising ever appear on this site, it will be clearly labelled, will never appear within article bodies, and will have no influence on editorial content or scoring. Team members disclose personal holdings relevant to any platform covered, and are recused from writing about them.

Corrections

Errors are corrected as soon as they are verified, with a dated note appended to the affected page. Reader-reported corrections are welcomed and reviewed against primary sources.

Nature of the content

All content is general educational information. It is not financial, investment, legal or tax advice, and it takes no account of any individual's circumstances or objectives. Trading carries a high risk of capital loss.
