How to read the notes below
Written for people starting out
Every note here assumes no background in markets. Where a term is unavoidable it is explained the first time it appears, and where a rule differs by country that is stated rather than glossed over.
What you will not find
No price predictions and no signals. Anything framed as a guaranteed return is the single clearest warning sign in this industry, and we are not going to add to it.
How often it is updated
Notes are revisited when the underlying rules change — a new regulation, a new reporting requirement, a change in how deposits are handled. The date on each note is the date it was last checked, not the date it was first written.
