How we work

Money education only works if you can trust it. These are the rules every page on this site follows.

What we promise

• Losses included. Every example shows what can go wrong, and every result shows the losing trades too.
• No income promises. We never tell you what you will earn. Nobody can.
• No ads and no partner links inside lessons. Lessons only teach.
• Every number is checked. Worked examples are calculated twice before they go live.
• Every lesson has a review date. When the facts change, the lesson changes.

How a lesson is built

1. A question first, because trying before reading makes the answer stick.
2. A plain-English explanation, written for readers whose first language is not English.
3. A worked example with real numbers, and an interactive tool where it helps.
4. Short recall cards that come back after a few days.
5. A receipt: what it costs, what can go wrong, and the honest result.
