Editorial standards on forex-basics.com
Financial education must distinguish evidence, models and interpretation. These are our working principles and the limits of our checks.
Authorship and responsibility
The project is edited by Jarosław Wasiński, founder of MyBank.pl since 2004 and a writer analysing Forex since 2007. His biography is on the editorial team page. Author attribution records responsibility for publication; it does not prove that the author personally read every later edit. A reviewer is named only after a real review. We do not assign professional credentials or human experience to AI.
Sources and numbers
Market data are checked against BIS and central-bank publications. Legal and tax claims require the relevant jurisdiction's regulator or tax authority. Product terms are checked for the actual provider and entity. A source must support the stated claim, period and scope.
Measured numbers identify a source and period. Models state assumptions, units and limitations. A hypothetical example is not a market statistic. We do not invent trade outcomes, expert quotations or an author's memories. If evidence is insufficient, we qualify the claim or identify the missing data.
AI assistance and types of checking
AI assists with source analysis, editing, translation, code and illustrations. Some changes are prepared and deployed through an AI-assisted process. That does not amount to personal human review of every passage.
We distinguish technical checks (links, code and rendering), editorial reading and source verification of specific claims. An automated check does not replace the other two. AI hero artwork is labelled as editorial illustration and is not evidence of an event or a historical quote.
Dates and updates
Published records the article's first publication. Updated records a substantive change to content, examples or structured data in the publication register. The visible article, Article metadata and sitemap use the same update date.
Source verification is a separate recorded date. It is not renewed by an upload, typography change or link test. We do not change dates merely to appear fresh. An older verification date warrants caution when checking changing offers, laws and rates.
Reproducible data analyses
Our data analyses state the question, period, cleaning rules, formulas, limitations and code. Source data are shared only where reuse terms allow it. A central-bank reference rate is not a broker's execution quote; historical variability is neither a forecast nor strategy performance.
Jurisdiction and corrections
Tax and regulatory guides identify the country or applicable scope. English explanations distinguish general mechanics from national rules. English and Polish publications have separate update histories; archived translations are not automatically refreshed. Report errors using the correction policy, with the article, passage, supporting source and relevant period.
