Corrections
How we handle material errors
A material correction should appear where the reader encountered the claim. It should say what changed, when it changed, and why.

What requires a correction
A factual error that changes the meaning of a market, instrument, event, calculation, source, timestamp, or risk statement receives a visible correction note. Examples include naming the wrong venue, confusing a derivative with a share, using an incompatible baseline, or attributing a move to an event without support.
Spelling, punctuation, layout, and other non-substantive changes may be fixed without a formal note when they do not alter the reader’s understanding.
What the note contains
A correction note states the date and time, the original material claim, the corrected information, and the reason for the change. When the error affected a headline, chart, ranking, or social post, the correction should address that surface as well.
We do not use vague language such as “updated for clarity” when the original statement was wrong.
Updates and clarifications
A developing story may receive new facts without the earlier version being wrong. That is labeled as an update. A clarification adds context to prevent a reasonable misunderstanding while preserving the substance of the original claim.
Material changes show an updated time. The article should make it possible to distinguish a new development from a correction of an error.
Historical price statements
A story about a past move retains the venue, instrument, price type, baseline, currency, source time, and snapshot used at publication. A later live quote does not replace the historical evidence.
If upstream data is later revised, the article records the revision when it materially changes the reported move. The original evidence remains in the editorial audit trail.
Reporting an error
A report should include the page URL, the disputed sentence or value, the reason it appears wrong, and any primary source that supports the concern. Do not send account credentials, wallet seed phrases, identity documents, or trading records.
The Contact page explains what to include in a correction request and which details should never be sent.
