Crypto futures trading:Editorial policy

Editorial Policy

Back to portal

This wiki aims to provide neutral, factual, and comprehensive information regarding crypto futures trading. All contributors are expected to adhere to the following editorial policies to maintain the quality and integrity of the content.

Neutral Point of View (NPOV)

All articles must maintain a Neutral Point of View. This means presenting all significant viewpoints fairly, proportionately, and without bias.

• Attribution: Claims, especially those concerning market performance, risk, or regulatory status, must be attributed to reliable sources. Do not present opinions or unverified claims as established fact.
• Avoid Advocacy: Content should describe, not promote or disparage. Do not use language that encourages readers to trade, invest in specific assets, or use particular platforms.
• Disclaimers: While this wiki is informational, editors must ensure that the content itself does not imply guaranteed returns or professional financial advice.

Verifiability and Sourcing

Information presented on this wiki must be verifiable through reliable, published sources.

• Reliable Sources: Sources should generally be established financial news organizations, academic publications, regulatory bodies, or official documentation from exchanges. Self-published material, personal blogs, or promotional materials from trading platforms are generally not acceptable as primary sources for factual claims.
• Citation Requirement: Any factual claim, statistic, definition, or assertion that is not common knowledge within the field of finance or cryptocurrency must be supported by an inline citation using the <ref> tag.
• Citation Format: All citations must use the Template:Cite web template or similar appropriate templates, including the URL, title, publisher, and access date.

Content Guidelines

Articles should focus on providing objective educational material about the mechanics, history, and terminology of crypto futures trading.

• Scope: Content should be relevant to the topic of crypto futures, including concepts like margin, leverage, settlement, types of contracts (e.g., perpetual futures, quarterly futures), and associated risks.
• Clarity and Accessibility: Content should be written clearly and structured logically to be accessible to beginners while providing sufficient depth for experienced readers. Complex terms should be defined or linked to appropriate glossary entries.
• No Original Research: Editors must not introduce new theories, analysis, or conclusions that have not been published by reliable external sources.

Naming Conventions and Terminology

Consistency in terminology helps maintain the encyclopedic nature of the site.

• Terminology: Use established industry terminology. When introducing an alternative term, link to the primary term where appropriate (e.g., linking "Perpetual Swap" to the main article on Perpetual Futures Contract).
• Article Titles: Titles should be descriptive and follow standard wiki naming conventions. Avoid jargon in titles unless the jargon itself is the subject of the article (e.g., "Basis Trading").

Handling Disputes

If editors disagree on content, sourcing, or presentation:

1. Discuss on the Talk Page: Editors should first raise the issue on the associated article's talk page, clearly stating their concerns and providing supporting evidence or sources.
2. Seek Consensus: Aim for consensus based on the policies outlined above (NPOV, Verifiability).
3. Avoid Edit Wars: Repeatedly reverting another editor's changes without discussion is prohibited. Content should remain stable while disputes are being resolved.
