How our articles, glossary terms and calendar texts are made, checked and corrected.

How articles and glossary terms are written

The articles and glossary terms in the Learn hub are drafted with AI assistance, working from an editorial brief for each page. The draft is fact-checked before it is published.

Fact-checking against primary sources

Every factual claim is checked against a primary source: the central bank that sets the rate, the statistics agency that publishes the figure, or the CFTC for positioning data. We link those sources in the text, so you can check the claim yourself.

Who reviewed a page, and when

Each page shows its review status.

  • A page that has not yet had an expert review says so: "Drafted with AI assistance and fact-checked against primary sources".
  • Once a named reviewer has checked the page, it gets a "Reviewed by" line with the reviewer's name and the date of the review.

We only show a reviewer on pages that reviewer has actually checked.

Time-sensitive facts

Facts that change, such as central bank policy rates and inflation targets, are kept in dated "current settings" blocks rather than spread through the text. When we update a page, we re-check those blocks against the source.

Examples with numbers

Worked examples that use numbers are labelled as illustrative. The exception is dated historical data, such as a past release or a past COT report.

Economic calendar texts and data

The explanations on the economic calendar pages, such as what an indicator measures, are generated with AI. We are reviewing them.

The calendar figures come from Trading Economics. Actual figures are the official figures published by the agency that releases the data. The forecast is Trading Economics' own forecast where one is available; otherwise it is the market consensus.

No signals, no investment advice

Our content explains how fundamental data works. It does not contain trade signals and it is not investment advice. See the disclaimer for the full terms.

Commercial independence

We have commercial relationships with two partners, Bright Funded and The Trading Academy. When you sign up with a partner through a link on this site, we may earn a commission. The partners are listed on the partners page.

Partners do not influence our educational content. Whether an article has a call to action, and where it goes, is decided per article by us.

Corrections

If you find an error, email info@forexfundamentals.com with the page URL and what you think is wrong. If we correct a page, the correction is dated on that page.
