Editorial policy
How we decide what to publish, how we check it, how we correct it when we get it wrong, and where the line sits between our coverage and our advertising.

Our purpose
Trading News Global exists to explain how financial markets work to people who are not professionals. The test we apply to every article is whether a reader finishes it understanding a mechanism they did not understand before. We are not trying to tell anyone what to buy.
What we will not publish
These are standing rules, not case-by-case judgements:
- No trading signals or price calls.No entries, exits, targets or “buy now” content of any kind.
- No affiliate links and no broker referrals. We earn nothing when a reader opens a trading account. Our only revenue is third-party display advertising.
- No paid or sponsored articles. Nobody can buy a place in our coverage. If we ever publish sponsored material, it will be labelled unmistakably and will not appear in article feeds.
- No guaranteed-returns framing. We do not describe any strategy as reliable, safe, passive income, or a way to replace a salary.
- No token or product promotion. We do not accept payment to cover a coin, project or platform, and we do not publish press releases as news.
Authorship and accountability
Articles are published under the Trading News Global masthead rather than under individual bylines. Accountability therefore sits with the publication: there is one standard, applied to every article, and one place to bring a complaint.
We consider this more honest than the alternative for a publication of our size. A byline is a claim about who stands behind a piece of work, and it should only ever name a real, contactable person. Where named contributors join, they will appear on the newsroom page with their own profile and a direct contact address, and their articles will carry their name.
Sourcing and verification
- We prefer primary sources: central bank statements, regulator publications, exchange documentation, company filings, official statistical releases.
- Where an article relies on external facts, those sources are listed at the foot of the article so you can check them yourself.
- Figures are checked against the original release, not against another article quoting it.
- Where a claim is contested or uncertain, we say so in the text rather than picking the tidier version.
- We distinguish clearly between what is established fact, what is a reasonable inference, and what is speculation.
Corrections
We correct errors promptly and visibly rather than quietly editing them away.
- Minor fixes — typos, broken links, formatting — are made without a note.
- Factual corrections are made in the text and noted at the foot of the article, stating what was wrong and when it was fixed.
- Substantial correctionsthat change an article's conclusion are noted at the top of the article as well.
- Articles that are materially updated show an updated date alongside the original publication date.
To report an error, email corrections@tradingnewsglobal.com with the article link and the specific claim. We reply to every substantiated correction request.
Updating older articles
Explainers are reviewed periodically and revised when rules, market structure or figures change. We do not silently rewrite an old article to look like new reporting, and we do not backdate or forward-date articles to game search rankings.
Separation of advertising and editorial
Advertising on this site is served programmatically by third-party networks. We have no knowledge of which advertisers appear, and advertisers have no influence over what we publish, how we cover a company, or whether an article stays up. Ad units are labelled “Advertisement” and are visually distinct from articles. We do not place ads inside an article in a way designed to be mistaken for editorial links.
We may, from time to time, publish critical coverage of a category of product that is also advertised on this site. That is a deliberate consequence of the separation described here.
Conflicts of interest
Anyone contributing to Trading News Global must disclose a material holding in an asset they write about, and may not trade around the publication of an article they worked on. Where such a position exists, the article says so.
Risk framing
Because our subject is financial, we treat risk disclosure as part of accuracy rather than as boilerplate. Where a product loses money for most retail traders, we state that in the body of the article and cite the regulator's own figures. Our full risk disclaimer applies to everything we publish.
Reader complaints
If you believe an article is inaccurate, unfair or misleading, write to editor@tradingnewsglobal.com. Tell us the article, the passage and what you think is wrong. We will investigate and reply, and if we got it wrong we will correct it under the process above.
