This is the LyvexTrade editorial policy. It explains where our information comes from, how pages are written and checked, how we stay independent and what happens when we get something wrong. It applies to every lesson, calculator and reference page on the site.
Scope
LyvexTrade writes for beginners. Lessons explain how markets, products and costs work in general, using the UK, EU, US and Australian rules most readers are likely to meet as reference points. They do not cover every country's regulations, and they never assess a reader's own circumstances. Where rules differ between countries, pages say so and name the jurisdiction behind any figure.
Sources
For rules, limits and dates we go to the original: regulators such as the UK Financial Conduct Authority, the European Securities and Markets Authority, the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission; exchange rulebooks and published trading hours; and primary documents such as the Bitcoin white paper or a stablecoin issuer's own disclosures. Where a page relies on a specific rule, the source is named at the foot of the page as plain text.
We do not use unsourced statistics, and we do not quote market forecasts.
How pages are written
- An editor sets the scope of a lesson: what a beginner needs to know and in what order.
- A first draft is produced with the help of AI writing tools.
- An editor rewrites and fact-checks the draft line by line against the sources, removing anything that cannot be verified.
- Every worked example is recalculated independently, and every calculator is tested against the examples on its page.
- The page is reviewed for clarity and for risk wording before publication.
Examples use illustrative prices chosen to make the arithmetic easy to follow. They are labelled as such and are not forecasts or current quotes.
How calculators are tested
Each calculator is checked against the hand-worked examples on its own page, across currency pairs quoted in dollars, pairs quoted in yen, cross pairs and gold. When a formula or default value changes, the examples are recalculated and the page is updated at the same time.
Our use of AI tools
AI tools help with first drafts and with spotting gaps in an outline. They are not treated as a source of facts. Any rule, date or figure in a draft is checked against a primary source or removed. An editor is responsible for every published page.
Independence
- No broker, exchange, token project or other financial firm pays us, sponsors a page or reviews content before publication.
- We carry no affiliate links, referral codes or bonus offers.
- We do not rank or review named providers and do not recommend any currency, share, coin or token.
What we never do
- Offer accounts, trading, custody, signals or managed investments.
- Publish testimonials, invented statistics, "trusted by" claims or awards.
- Present fictional experts or credentials.
- Predict prices or promise returns.
Updates and corrections
Rules change, so lessons are reviewed regularly and the date at the top of each page shows when it was last updated. If you spot a mistake, please tell us. Confirmed errors are corrected promptly; where a correction changes the meaning of a page, not just a typo, we say so on the page.
