Crypto futures trading:Editorial policy

Editorial Policy

Back to portal

This policy outlines the standards and guidelines for content creation and editing on this wiki concerning Crypto Futures Trading. Adherence to these standards ensures the encyclopedia remains a reliable, neutral, and informative resource for all users.

Neutral Point of View (NPOV)

All articles must maintain a strictly neutral point of view. Editors must present all significant viewpoints fairly, proportionately, and without bias.

• **Attribution:** Claims or opinions that are not widely accepted facts must be attributed to reliable, named sources. Do not present disputed views as established fact.
• **Avoid Advocacy:** Content must not promote or disparage any specific trading strategy, cryptocurrency, exchange, or financial product. Do not use persuasive or promotional language.
• **Focus on Facts:** Content should describe what is known, how mechanisms work, and what sources report, rather than advocating for specific investment actions.

Verifiability and Sourcing

Information presented must be verifiable through reliable, published sources.

• **Citation Requirement:** Any statement that is not common knowledge within the field of finance or cryptocurrency must be supported by a citation using `<ref>...</ref>` tags.
• **Reliable Sources:** Acceptable sources include academic papers, established financial news outlets, regulatory filings, and official documentation from recognized industry bodies. Sources promoting specific trading services or offering investment advice are generally not considered reliable for factual claims.
• **No Original Research:** This wiki is not a place to publish original analysis, personal opinions, or unpublished research. All content must be based on previously published material.

Scope and Content Guidelines

The scope of this wiki is limited to providing encyclopedic information related to the mechanics, history, regulation, and terminology of crypto futures trading.

• **Prohibited Content:**

   *   **Investment Advice:** Do not provide advice on when, what, or how much to buy or sell. Statements such as "Bitcoin futures are a good hedge" or "You should short Ethereum now" are prohibited.
   *   **Guarantees of Profit:** Any language suggesting guaranteed returns, risk-free trading, or certainty of future price movements must be removed.
   *   **Promotional Material:** Do not include links or text intended to recruit users to specific exchanges, brokers, or trading platforms.
   *   **Speculation:** Unsubstantiated predictions about future market direction or regulatory changes should be avoided unless they are being reported as the stated opinion of a named, reliable third party.

Handling Disputes and Consensus

Disagreements over content, sourcing, or neutrality should be handled constructively.

• **Talk Pages:** Editors should use the associated Talk: (Article Name) page to discuss proposed changes or existing content that is disputed.
• **Consensus:** Changes should generally reflect a consensus among contributing editors, based on adherence to this policy and the quality of the sources provided. Content should not be reverted repeatedly without discussion.

External Links

External links should be used sparingly and only to provide access to primary sources or highly relevant background material. Links to commercial sites offering trading services are generally discouraged unless they serve as the official source for technical specifications or regulatory data.
