Editorial Policy
Our standards for creating accurate, unbiased execution policy education.
Core Principles
Accuracy
All factual claims are verified against primary sources. When citing broker policies, we link directly to official documentation and clearly indicate when information was last verified.
Independence
We maintain editorial independence from brokers and financial services companies. We do not accept payment for coverage, positive reviews, or preferential treatment.
Transparency
We clearly distinguish between factual information, analysis, and opinion. Sources are cited and linked. When we make interpretations, we identify them as such.
Educational Focus
Our goal is education, not promotion. We explain concepts, analyze practices, and provide context to help readers make informed decisions.
Content Creation Process
- Research: Content begins with thorough research of primary sources including broker documentation, regulatory guidance, and industry standards.
- Analysis: We analyze sources for accuracy, clarity, and educational value, identifying key concepts and potential areas of confusion.
- Writing: Content is written in clear, accessible language avoiding jargon where possible and defining technical terms where necessary.
- Verification: Factual claims are cross-referenced with sources. Links are verified to ensure they point to correct, current documentation.
- Review: Content is reviewed for accuracy, clarity, and adherence to editorial standards before publication.
Source Standards
We prioritize primary sources and official documentation:
- Official broker execution policies and disclosures
- Regulatory guidance and requirements
- Published execution quality statistics
- Technical documentation from execution venues
- Industry standards and best practice guidelines
When primary sources are unavailable, we clearly indicate the nature and limitations of secondary sources used.

Execution policies and broker practices change over time. We are committed to maintaining accurate, current information:
- Content includes last verified dates where applicable

Conflicts of Interest
We maintain independence through clear policies:
- No paid broker reviews or sponsored content
- No affiliate relationships that could influence coverage
- No preferential treatment for advertisers or partners
- Clear disclosure of any potential conflicts
