Research note / Editorial standards

How the archive researches and publishes.

This policy applies to Strategy Archive educational articles, guides, templates, and editorial comparisons. Last updated 24 August 2026.

Purpose and scope

Editorial content is created to help readers understand trading processes, testing, documentation, risk controls, and product rules. It is not personalized investment advice and does not promise that a strategy, tool, or provider will produce a profit.

User-submitted strategies and comments are community content. They do not pass through the same editorial workflow and should not be interpreted as endorsements.

Source hierarchy

  1. Primary sources: official rules, contracts, regulator registers, platform documentation, and original datasets.
  2. Authoritative secondary sources: established research institutions, academic papers, and recognized professional publications.
  3. Contextual sources: reputable reporting or practitioner commentary, clearly distinguished from verified facts.

Time-sensitive commercial claims should link to the relevant provider page wherever practical. Discounts, fees, payout conditions, and account rules can change without notice, so readers must confirm the current contract before purchasing.

Editorial workflow

  1. Define the reader's question and the page's intended search intent.
  2. Collect primary sources and document important limitations.
  3. Separate verifiable facts from interpretation, examples, and opinion.
  4. Check headings, calculations, links, disclosures, and risk language before publication.
  5. Update materially changed pages and record a visible modified date when the content itself changes.

AI and automation disclosure

AI or automation tools may assist with outlining, information organization, editing, formatting, or code. They are not treated as factual sources. Material claims should be checked against identifiable sources, and Strategy Archive remains responsible for the decision to publish or update editorial content.

Corrections and updates

Minor spelling or formatting changes may be made without changing the modified date. Material corrections, new rules, revised comparisons, or substantial additions should update the page date. Silent changes must not be used to make old information appear new.

Send corrections to support.strategyarchive@gmail.com. For commercial comparisons, also read the review methodology.
