How to read the notes below
Written for beginners
Every note here assumes no prior market knowledge. When a technical term is unavoidable, we explain it the first time it appears, and where rules differ by province, we say so clearly.
What you won't find
No price predictions, no trading signals. Any promise of guaranteed returns is the clearest warning sign in this industry, and we won't add to it.
How often we update these
Notes are revisited whenever the underlying rules change — new regulation, new reporting requirements, changes to how deposits work. The date shown is when it was last checked, not when it was first written.
