This page explains how ForexToolsApp researches, writes, checks and updates its content. Our articles deal with money, so accuracy comes first, ahead of speed and ahead of volume.
Who writes our content
Articles are written and edited in-house and published under the Owen Carlisle byline, which is an editorial pen name. We do not attribute articles to invented experts, and we do not claim credentials, job titles or trading results that our contributors do not have. If a guest writer or a reviewer with relevant qualifications works on a piece, we will name that person and describe their background accurately.
Fact-checking
- Every factual claim a reader might rely on, such as a rule, fee, date, figure or regulatory requirement, is checked against a reliable source before publication.
- Calculations in worked examples are rechecked before an article goes live.
- We do not publish invented quotes, statistics, testimonials, ratings or trading results.
- When something is uncertain or disputed, we say so.
Sources we rely on
We give priority to primary sources:
- central banks, such as the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan;
- official statistics agencies, such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Bureau of Economic Analysis and Eurostat;
- financial regulators and their public registers, such as the SEC, the CFTC, the NFA, the UK Financial Conduct Authority and ESMA;
- official documentation from exchanges, brokers and blockchain projects;
- academic and peer-reviewed research.
Established financial news outlets are useful for context, and we cite them when we use them. We avoid relying on anonymous forum posts, promotional material and unverified social media claims. Where we can, we link to our sources so you can check them yourself.
Analysis and opinion
Market analysis and opinion pieces are labeled as such. They describe scenarios, the evidence behind them and what would change the outlook. They are never trading signals, and they never tell readers what to buy or sell. See our Risk Disclaimer for more on this.
Keeping articles up to date
Markets and rules change. We review published articles periodically and also whenever something material changes, such as a shift in central bank policy, a new regulation or a change to a provider’s fees or terms. When an article is substantially revised, the update date shown on the page changes so you can see how current it is.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it. Typos and small wording issues are fixed without a note. Factual errors that could affect a reader’s understanding or decisions are corrected promptly, and we add a short correction note to the article explaining what changed and when.
To report an error, email [email protected] with the page address and a description of the problem. A link to a source helps.
Advertising, sponsorship and affiliate links
Advertisers and partners have no influence over our editorial content and do not review articles before they are published.
- Sponsored content, if we publish any, will be clearly labeled as sponsored at the top of the page.
- Affiliate links are links that may earn us a commission if you open an account or buy a product through them. If an article contains affiliate links, we disclose that near the top of the article.
- Commissions do not change our coverage. They never affect how we describe a product’s costs, risks or regulatory status, and we do not sell reviews, rankings or ratings.
