Editorial Standards
Effective 26 October 2026
Our only job is to tell traders what actually moved the market, and why, with proof. If a story did not move gold, oil, bitcoin, a major currency pair or a US stock index, it is not on the front page, however loud it is elsewhere.
1. Only news with a measured market reaction
Every story shows the reaction it caused: which market moved, by how much, when, and the source for that move. News with no reaction yet is not shown as a headline. It goes to the "Filtered out" list with what to watch, so you can see what we left out and why.
2. Verified, with a link for every fact
- Every fact links to where it came from.
- Prices, chart levels and economic data results are checked against two independent sources. When sources disagree, we say so openly instead of picking the convenient number.
- Anything we could only find in one place is marked as unverified.
3. Primary sources first
- Official sources: central banks, statistics agencies (such as BLS, BEA and EIA), treasuries and government statements.
- Major newswires and financial press: Reuters, Bloomberg, AP, CNBC and similar.
- Economic calendar: release times and results from the official agency or central bank; forecasts from newswire polls, named as such. We do not copy other websites' calendars.
- Not used as news sources: broker marketing blogs, anonymous accounts, unconfirmed rumours and content farms.
4. Social media posts
We include posts only from people whose words move markets, such as heads of state, central bankers, finance ministers and official accounts. A post is quoted exactly, with its time and a link, only when it is confirmed real and the market reacted to it.
5. Factual headlines, no clickbait
Headlines say what happened, with the number that matters. We do not use hype words such as "shock", "crash" or "explodes" unless the move truly was one, and we never write question headlines, ALL CAPS or emoji. A headline never promises more than the story shows.
6. Less, but important
We show at most ten stories, ranked by impact, and drop stories once they stop driving prices. Each story says what it means for traders, what is already priced in and what would prove the view wrong.
7. Times, scheduled updates and corrections
All times are in Indian Standard Time (IST, GMT+5:30). Research is updated hourly during the London and New York sessions on weekdays, every four hours otherwise, and about ten minutes after major scheduled releases. If we get something wrong, we correct it in the next update.
8. Copyright and data
Facts are reported in our own words with a link to where they came from. We quote at most a short line when the exact words matter, such as a central banker's statement. We never copy another site's articles, tables, charts, calendar or screenshots. Live prices and the live calendar come from TradingView widgets, which TradingView allows websites to show. If you own content and believe we have used it wrongly, see Contact and we will look at it within 48 hours.
9. Independent
No one pays to appear on this site. We carry no broker advertising, affiliate links or sponsored stories. Research is gathered by AI under these rules, and it can still make mistakes, so every item links to its source for you to check. See the Risk Disclaimer.
