Verification before velocity

Editorial scope

Coverage focuses on market access outside regular hours, verified movement in named venue instruments, relevant company or market events, and the mechanics and risks of the products shown on the site.

A movement alert is only a reporting lead. It is not a finished story, a trading signal, or evidence that the referenced company’s official share moved by the same amount.

Source hierarchy

Company filings, exchange notices, regulator publications, court records, and first-party venue documentation come first. Reputable reporting may add context or identify a developing event. Anonymous posts can point to a question, but they cannot establish a material fact on their own.

• Confirmed: supported by a primary source or independent, reliable corroboration.
• Developing: material facts remain unresolved, and the article states what is not known.
• Corrected: a material factual change is recorded visibly with its time and reason.

How we describe a market move

A headline and opening paragraph must name the exact venue and instrument when the move occurred in a derivative. They must not imply that an official Nasdaq or NYSE share traded while its market was closed.

An article may say that a move followed a reported event when timestamps support the sequence. It may not say the event caused the move unless the evidence supports that conclusion. Plausible explanations are labeled as analysis, not fact.

Historical price statements

A story that says an instrument rose or fell preserves the quote snapshot, venue, instrument code, price type, baseline, currency, and observation time used for that statement. A live widget may sit beside the story, but it does not rewrite the historical claim.

If the relevant data was delayed, thin, or unavailable, the article says so. We do not backfill a dramatic headline after the fact using a more favorable price point.

AI and automation

Automated monitoring may identify unusual weekend moves, collect candidate sources, or prepare a draft. AI tools may help summarize documents or organize a timeline. Neither can publish an indexable article without a human checking the instrument, data snapshot, sources, headline, causal language, and disclosures.

A generated citation must resolve to the claimed source, and the source must support the sentence attached to it. Unsupported details, invented quotations, and lightly rewritten reporting are prohibited. Material AI assistance remains subject to human review and the same corrections policy as other editorial work.

Commercial independence and conflicts

A venue’s referral program does not buy favorable coverage, a higher ranking, or a softened risk description. Writers and reviewers must disclose a material financial interest in an instrument, issuer, or venue when it could reasonably affect the work.

Sponsored content, if ever accepted, must be labeled at the top and kept separate from independent reporting. A commercial partner does not review or approve independent editorial conclusions.

Review, updates, and corrections

Before publication, a reviewer checks the headline, direct answer, source trail, product identity, timestamps, risk language, and links. Developing stories show an update time when facts change.

A material error is corrected on the article itself. The note explains what changed and why; it does not quietly replace the original meaning. The separate corrections policy sets the standard for site-wide records.
