Crypto futures trading:Sources

Sources and Verification

This page outlines the standards for sourcing and verification required for all articles within this wiki concerning crypto futures trading. Adherence to these standards ensures the neutrality, accuracy, and reliability of the information presented.

Core Principles of Sourcing

All factual claims, definitions, methodologies, and historical data presented in articles must be attributable to reliable, verifiable sources. Original research is strictly prohibited.

Reliability of Sources

Sources must meet the following criteria to be considered reliable:

Published Works: Content published by established financial news organizations, academic institutions, regulatory bodies, or recognized industry research firms are generally considered reliable.
Primary Sources: Official documentation from exchanges, regulatory filings, or white papers released by established projects are preferred for specific technical details or official statements.
Neutrality: Sources should maintain a neutral perspective. Sources that are overtly promotional, biased toward a specific trading strategy, or affiliated directly with a single exchange or trading platform should be used sparingly and only for information they are uniquely positioned to provide (e.g., an exchange's own fee schedule).

Unacceptable Sources

The following types of sources are generally not acceptable as primary support for factual claims:

Personal blogs or non-expert social media posts.
Forums or discussion boards (e.g., Reddit, although discussions may sometimes point toward primary sources).
Anonymous publications or unsubstantiated claims.
Content that promotes specific investment advice or guarantees returns.

Citation Requirements

Every piece of non-common knowledge information must be supported by an inline citation using the `` tags.

Formatting Citations

Citations must be formatted using the Template:Cite web template or appropriate templates for books, journals, or news articles. At a minimum, citations should include:

A direct URL to the source material.
The title of the article or publication.
The publisher or authoring entity.
The date the content was accessed (using the access-date parameter).

For example, if referencing a news article about a regulatory change: <ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Verification and Dead Links

Editors are responsible for ensuring that all cited links are active and accurately reflect the content they purport to support at the time of verification. If a source link becomes permanently inaccessible, the citation should be flagged or updated with an archived version if available.

Handling Conflicting Information

When reliable sources present conflicting data or differing explanations regarding a topic (e.g., different calculation methodologies for a specific metric), editors must:

Cite all relevant viewpoints.
Attribute each viewpoint clearly to its source.
Present the information neutrally, avoiding language that favors one view over another unless one view is overwhelmingly supported by regulatory consensus or established financial theory.

Neutrality and Tone Enforcement

Information must be presented factually, without advocating for or against the use of crypto futures, specific trading instruments, or particular exchanges. Claims regarding potential profit or loss are speculative and must be attributed to external analysis or clearly labeled as hypothetical examples, never as guaranteed outcomes.

Editor Responsibilities

Editors reviewing or adding content must actively verify that citations meet the standards outlined above. Content lacking appropriate sourcing or relying on unreliable sources may be tagged with a Template:Citation needed template or removed pending verification.
