This is the GlixoTrade editorial policy. It describes the process behind every guide and calculator on the site so that you can judge our work for yourself.
Where our information comes from
We start with primary sources: rules and guidance from financial regulators, exchange and index rulebooks, protocol documentation, issuer disclosures such as stablecoin reserve reports, and official statistics. Secondary sources, such as news reports, are used to find information, not as the final authority. Where a guide relies on a specific rule or figure, we name the source at the end of the page in plain text. We do not link out, so you can search for the named source yourself.
The GlixoTrade editorial policy in practice
- Plan: we decide which reader question the page answers and what it must include.
- Draft: a first version may be written with assistance from AI language tools.
- Edit and check: an editor reviews every draft line by line, verifies each factual claim against a source, removes anything that cannot be supported and rewrites for clarity.
- Recalculate: every worked example is recomputed independently, and calculators are tested against those examples.
- Review: pages are revisited when rules change and at least periodically, and the update date is shown under the headline.
Numbers used to illustrate a calculation are labelled as illustrative. They are not prices, forecasts or quotes from any company.
Independence
- We are not paid by exchanges, brokers, token projects or funded trader programs, and we do not use affiliate links.
- We do not rank, rate or recommend specific companies, apps or coins.
- Mentions of regulators, software or indices are made because they are needed to explain a topic, not because of any relationship.
What we never publish
- Price predictions, trade signals or "buy now" calls.
- Claims about returns that cannot be verified.
- Testimonials, invented case studies or quotes from people who do not exist.
- Invented statistics or unsourced figures presented as fact.
Calculators and examples
Our calculators run entirely in your browser; nothing you type is sent to us or stored. Each calculator page shows the formula it uses, a worked example that we have recomputed separately, and notes on what the result leaves out, such as spreads, slippage, financing or tax. Where a calculator uses default prices, those are placeholders for you to overwrite, not market data.
Images and illustrations
Pictures on the site are illustrations chosen to accompany a topic. They do not depict our staff, readers or any real company's products, and they should not be read as evidence of anything described in the text.
Scope and limits
We write general explanations for a global, English-speaking audience. Rules on leverage, taxation, investor protection and crypto licensing differ between countries and change over time. Where we give a specific rule, we say which country or regulator it applies to and date the page. We cannot account for every jurisdiction, so we encourage readers to confirm local details with their own regulator or tax authority.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it. Send the details through our contact page; we check the claim against the source, correct the page if needed and update its date. Significant corrections that change the meaning of a guide are noted on the page.
