Editorial policy: how we write Sky Trade content

Everything in the Sky Trade academy, glossary, help centre and market pages is written by the Sky Trade editorial team. This page explains what the content is for, where its facts come from, what we refuse to publish, and how we fix mistakes — so you can judge for yourself how much weight to give it.

Purpose: education, not advice

Our articles explain how things work: how a higher/lower trade is settled, what RSI measures, why a payout below 100% raises the break-even win rate, how to size a stake. They are educational material. Nothing on this site is investment advice or a recommendation to trade any instrument, at any time, in any direction. We don't know your finances, and a web page can't.

Where the facts come from

We use two kinds of sources.

How the platform actually works. Facts about Sky Trade — stake limits, expiry range, payouts, deposit minimums, withdrawal limits, level thresholds — are taken from how the platform is built. Numbers that can change are not typed by hand: they are pulled from the platform's configuration and update automatically on every page when the settings change. When you read "minimum stake $1" here, it is the same value the terminal uses.

Standard trading knowledge. Explanations of indicators, candlestick patterns, forex sessions and risk management are based on well-established technical-analysis and money-management concepts — the kind you'd find in any serious textbook. We describe how each tool is calculated and, just as importantly, how it fails.

We don't cite invented studies, made-up statistics or "our traders' results". Where we use numbers to explain an idea, they are simple arithmetic, labelled as examples.

What we never publish

• Profit promises. No "earn per day", no secret strategies, no accuracy claims for indicators or patterns. Every tool gives false signals, and we say so.
• Paid reviews or testimonials. We don't publish user reviews, ratings or success stories.
• Competitor comparisons. We write about how things work, not about other platforms.
• Hidden risks. Pages that touch trading money carry a risk reminder, and the maths of fixed payouts is shown openly, not tucked away.

Our conflict of interest

You should know how the platform earns, because it affects how you read anything we write. On a fixed-payout product, a winning trade pays less than 100% of the stake while a losing trade costs the full stake. Over many trades, the payout below 100% means the platform keeps the difference on average. We write about this openly — in the profit calculator, in why most beginners lose and in the break-even win rate entry — because a reader who understands it makes better decisions.

We also say plainly what the platform is not: Sky Trade holds no financial licence. See about Sky Trade and the risk disclosure.

OTC honesty

Whenever an article touches OTC instruments, it states that their prices are generated by Sky Trade's server, do not track any real market and that the direction of the next move is unpredictable. We don't suggest that any indicator or pattern works better on OTC.

Translations

Content is published in 24 languages. Translations are adapted for native readers rather than translated word for word, and they are reviewed for terminology: standard trading terms as local traders use them, and interface labels exactly as they appear in the Sky Trade terminal in that language. Numbers, links and structure stay the same as in the original.

Updates and corrections

Every page shows the date it was last updated. We revise articles when the platform changes or when we find something unclear or wrong. Numbers drawn from the platform's configuration update on their own; text changes are made by the editorial team.

If you spot an error — a wrong fact, an outdated description, a confusing explanation, a translation problem — tell us through the support chat after logging in. Mention the page address and what you think is wrong. Corrections are made in all languages.
