How to read the notes below
Written for people starting out
Every note here assumes no background in markets. Where a term is unavoidable, it's explained the first time it appears, and where a rule differs by province or country, that's stated rather than glossed over.
What you won't find
No price predictions and no signals. Anything framed as a guaranteed return is the clearest warning sign in this industry, and we won't add to it.
How often it's updated
Notes are revisited whenever the underlying rules change — a new regulation, a new reporting requirement, a change in how deposits are handled. The date on each note reflects when it was last checked, not when it was first written.
