Sources and Verification

This article adheres to the principles of verifiable neutrality expected of an encyclopedia. All factual claims regarding crypto futures trading, market mechanics, regulation, and historical data must be supported by reliable, published sources.

Policy on Sources

The primary goal of sourcing is to ensure that the information presented is accurate and attributable to established authorities, rather than speculation or personal opinion.

Acceptable Sources

Acceptable sources for verification include, but are not limited to:

Academic journals and peer-reviewed research concerning financial derivatives or cryptocurrency.

Official publications from regulatory bodies (e.g., CFTC, SEC, ESMA) regarding futures contracts or digital assets.

Reputable financial news organizations with established editorial standards and correction policies.

Official documentation released by regulated exchanges offering crypto futures products.

Financial data providers with transparent methodologies for calculating metrics (e.g., open interest, volume).

Unacceptable Sources

The following types of sources are generally not acceptable for establishing factual claims:

Unattributed forum posts or social media commentary.

Personal blogs or websites that lack demonstrable expertise or editorial oversight.

Promotional materials from trading platforms or cryptocurrency projects.

Sources that present speculative price predictions as established fact.

Content that cannot be independently verified through multiple, high-quality sources.

Verification Process for Editors

Editors are responsible for ensuring that every significant claim is properly sourced.

Inline Citations

All non-trivial statements, definitions of complex terms, statistics, and descriptions of regulatory actions must be followed immediately by an inline citation using the `` tag.

Neutral Point of View (NPOV)

When presenting information derived from sources that may have inherent biases (e.g., a source advocating for specific regulation), editors must accurately represent the source's position without adopting that position as the article's definitive stance. If multiple reliable sources present conflicting information, the article should reflect this conflict neutrally, citing each perspective appropriately.

Handling Disputed Information

If information is disputed among reliable sources, editors should:

Include the information supported by the consensus of reliable sources.

Note the existence of alternative views, citing the sources that support them.

Avoid presenting fringe or poorly supported views unless the scope of the article specifically covers the debate surrounding those views.

External Linking Policy

External links should primarily be used within citation templates (``) to support specific factual claims. General links to external websites should be placed in a dedicated "External Links" section at the bottom of the article, if necessary, and must comply with the general sourcing guidelines. Do not use external links to promote any specific trading service or product.

-All factual claims, definitions, market data, regulatory statements, and historical information presented in articles must be supported by reliable, independent, and verifiable sources. Opinions, analysis, or interpretations that are not widely attributed to established sources should be clearly marked as such or omitted if they do not contribute to encyclopedic understanding.
+=== Inline Citations ===
+All non-trivial statements, definitions of complex terms, statistics, and descriptions of regulatory actions must be followed immediately by an inline citation using the `` tag.
-=== Reliability of Sources ===
-Sources must be authoritative within the field of finance, technology, or law, depending on the subject matter. Acceptable sources generally include:
-*   Regulated financial news organizations with established editorial processes.
-*   Official documentation from regulatory bodies (e.g., CFTC, SEC, ESMA).
-*   Academic papers or peer-reviewed research concerning financial derivatives or blockchain technology.
-*   Official documentation or white papers released by recognized, established exchanges or clearinghouses.
-Sources that are primarily promotional, anonymous, or lack clear editorial oversight are generally considered unreliable for factual assertions.
-=== Independence of Sources ===
-Sources should ideally be independent of the entities being discussed. For instance, while an exchange's official press release is useful for stating their own product specifications, an independent third-party analysis of that product's risk profile is preferred for objective assessment.
-== Sourcing Requirements for Specific Content Types ==
-=== Market Data and Pricing ===
-Any specific price points, trading volumes, or historical data must be sourced to a reliable financial data provider or a direct citation from the exchange where the data originated. Claims regarding current market conditions should be time-stamped or clearly noted as being subject to rapid change.
-=== Regulatory Information ===
-Statements regarding the legal status, regulation, or compliance requirements of crypto futures must be sourced directly from the relevant governmental or regulatory body's official publications or legally binding documents. Secondary interpretations should be attributed to qualified legal experts or recognized financial compliance firms.
-=== Technical Definitions ===
-Definitions of technical terms (e.g., margin, leverage, liquidation) should be sourced from established financial dictionaries, textbooks, or official documentation from recognized derivatives exchanges.
-== Editor Responsibilities and Verification Process ==
-Editors are responsible for ensuring that every non-obvious factual statement is properly referenced.
-=== Use of Citation Templates ===
-All external references must be formatted using the standard MediaWiki citation templates (e.g., {{Cite web}}). Each citation must include a working URL, the name of the publisher, and the date the editor accessed the source.
 === Neutral Point of View (NPOV) ===
+When presenting information derived from sources that may have inherent biases (e.g., a source advocating for specific regulation), editors must accurately represent the source's position without adopting that position as the article's definitive stance. If multiple reliable sources present conflicting information, the article should reflect this conflict neutrally, citing each perspective appropriately.
-When multiple reliable sources present differing views on a complex topic (such as the long-term viability of a specific futures contract type), the article must reflect these differences fairly, attributing each viewpoint to its source. The article should not advocate for one viewpoint over another.
+=== Handling Disputed Information ===
+If information is disputed among reliable sources, editors should:
-=== Avoiding Promotional Content ===
+== Include the information supported by the consensus of reliable sources. ==
+== Note the existence of alternative views, citing the sources that support them. ==
-Content must not promote specific trading platforms, investment strategies promising guaranteed returns, or specific financial products. Any mention of a platform must be strictly factual and necessary for context (e.g., describing a platform's regulatory status).
+== Avoid presenting fringe or poorly supported views unless the scope of the article specifically covers the debate surrounding those views. ==
+== External Linking Policy ==
-=== Handling Outdated Information ===
+External links should primarily be used within citation templates (``) to support specific factual claims. General links to external websites should be placed in a dedicated "External Links" section at the bottom of the article, if necessary, and must comply with the general sourcing guidelines. Do not use external links to promote any specific trading service or product.
-If a source is known to be outdated (e.g., referencing a regulation that has since been superseded), the editor must either update the information with a current source or clearly state the context and date of the outdated information, explaining why it remains relevant (e.g., historical context).
