Editorial Process

Our writers and experts create all the materials you will find on Traders Union. We do not give advice to buy, sell, or hold securities or investments. However, we do provide insights, in-depth research and analysis and educational content to help you make informed decisions. We also try to provide practical examples, wherever possible, to help you understand the topic better.

Our editorial team regularly monitors articles and reviews on our website in order to detect outdated information. Such information is analyzed and updated, or rechecked, or even completely rewritten, if necessary. Our experts help keep our website updated. You can see the date of the update on the articles that have undergone review and changes.

Quality Standards

Creation of every article or review involves many people, who work hard to make sure that the information in it is accurate, reliable, trustworthy, helpful and in line with our editorial principles.

The ideas for stories are approved independently and then the writing is assigned to specific experts who have deep knowledge of the subject matter. The articles are then rechecked, reviewed and edited by professional editors who make sure they comply with our values, which include reliability, accuracy, objectivity. All staff are responsible for disclosing any potential conflicts of interest.

Corrections

Traders Union is committed to correcting errors and informing the readers about it. This concerns both small and large mistakes, including news, but only if a mistake was made at the time of original publication. Corrections are clearly shown on the page. If you have found an error, please let us know and we will fix it.

Writers

Traders Union has a special procedure for choosing, vetting and hiring writers and experts. We select professionals in various areas of finance, while others have broad experience as financial writers. The selection criteria include knowledge of the industry and ability to communicate complex topics in clear, accessible, and understandable language.

Every article’s author or reviewer is listed at the top of the page, almost in the middle, to the right of the date, and is linked to their biography, which you can click on to learn more about their professional experience and education. All writers are required to uphold the editorial guidelines listed above.
