Crypto futures trading:Sources

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.
