The IonyxHub editorial policy exists so that readers can judge how much weight to put on what we publish. Our lessons are meant to teach, not to persuade, and every step below serves that aim.
Where information comes from
We work from primary sources wherever they exist:
- rules and warnings published by financial regulators, such as leverage caps and product bans;
- official documentation from exchanges, index providers and stablecoin issuers;
- technical specifications and documentation for blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum;
- laws and official guidance from government bodies.
Specific rules and figures that a lesson relies on are named in a sources list at the end of the page, as plain text. Where we cannot confirm a figure from a reliable source, we leave it out and explain the idea without it.
How lessons are drafted and checked
Drafts may be prepared with the help of AI writing tools. No draft is published as it comes out. An editor reviews each one against the sources, rewrites unclear passages, removes anything that cannot be supported and checks that the lesson reads correctly for a beginner.
Every worked example is recalculated separately before publication, and every figure used only to illustrate a sum is labelled as illustrative. The calculators are tested against those examples.
Plain language
Lessons are written for adults with no background in finance. We define terms the first time they appear, keep sentences short, avoid unexplained abbreviations and prefer a worked example to an abstract rule. If a reader tells us a passage is confusing, we treat that as an error to be fixed, in the same way as a wrong figure.
Independence
IonyxHub is not an exchange, broker or adviser, and it takes no payment from any company to mention, rank or praise it. There are no affiliate links. We do not name real platforms as recommendations and do not publish rankings of real companies. If the way the site is funded ever changes, we will say so on the about page and on each page affected.
Calculators and examples
The four calculators use the same formulas that are printed on their pages, and they run entirely in the reader's browser. Before a calculator page is published, its worked examples are reproduced with the tool and with an independent calculation, and any difference is investigated. Examples use round, clearly invented figures so that readers can follow the arithmetic, and they are never presented as real trades or real results.
Images and illustrations
Pictures on the site are illustrative. They do not show real accounts, real platforms or real people, and charts in images are decorative rather than data.
Keeping lessons current
Rules change: leverage limits, trading hours, allowances and settlement cycles all move over time. We review lessons when a relevant rule changes and show the date each page was last updated.
Corrections
If you spot an error, please tell us through the contact page. We check every report. Where a correction changes the meaning of a lesson, we fix it promptly and update the page date.
What we never do
- Invent statistics, reader stories, testimonials, reviews or experts.
- Claim licences, awards or partnerships we do not have.
- Predict prices or suggest that any asset will rise.
- Recommend specific coins, shares, brokers or exchanges.
- Link out to trading platforms or accept payment for coverage.
- Encourage readers to use leverage or borrowed money.
