Terms of Use
Last updated: April 19, 2026
These terms govern your use of trading-guide.com ("the site", "we", "us"). By using the site you accept them. If you disagree, please stop using the site.
1. Educational content, not advice
Everything on Trading Guide is educational content. Nothing on this site is personalised investment advice, financial advice, tax advice, or legal advice. We do not know your circumstances, risk tolerance, tax residence, or portfolio. Treat every article as a starting point for your own research, not a recommendation.
Before acting on anything you read here, consult a qualified professional licensed in your jurisdiction.
2. Risk disclosure: trading involves substantial loss
Forex and CFD trading carries a high level of risk and can result in losses that exceed your deposits. Per disclosures from the FCA, ESMA, ASIC, and other regulators, 70 to 80 percent of retail trading accounts lose money. This ratio has been consistent for over a decade.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose entirely.
3. Accuracy and currency of information
We make reasonable efforts to cite primary sources (regulators, central banks, broker disclosures) and to update articles when material facts change. However: regulations, tax rules, broker terms, and market conditions change. What is accurate at the "Last updated" date of an article may not be accurate when you read it.
Always verify current rules with the relevant regulator or a qualified professional before acting.
4. No warranty, limited liability
The site is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content, including (without limitation) trading losses.
5. External links and third-party content
Trading Guide links to external sites (regulators, brokers, data providers, other publishers). We do not control and are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of those sites. A link is not an endorsement.
6. Intellectual property
Articles, illustrations, the Professor Winston character, and the overall site design are our property or used under licence. You may quote short excerpts with attribution and a link. Bulk copying, republication, or scraping without written permission is prohibited.
7. AI-assisted production
Trading Guide uses AI tools as part of its editorial workflow, specifically for: research synthesis (pulling and organising primary sources such as regulator disclosures), assistance on first drafts once research is compiled, translation of English articles into the site's other supported languages, standard spell-check and grammar cleanup, and generation of decorative illustrations (Professor Winston, hero images, infographics).
Every article is then reviewed, rewritten where necessary, fact-checked against primary sources, and approved by the named human editor on the byline. The editor is editorially responsible for the analysis, opinions, and judgement calls. AI is not used to fabricate citations, invent credentials, or simulate expertise the author does not have. A detailed description of this workflow is on the About page.
8. Changes to these terms
We update these terms occasionally. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
