How to read the notes below
Written for beginners, on purpose
Every article here assumes no background in markets. Where a term can't be avoided, it's explained the first time it comes up, and where rules differ by province, we say so rather than glossing over it.
What you won't find here
No price predictions, no signals to follow blindly. Any promise of a guaranteed return is the clearest warning sign in this industry, and we won't add to it.
How often we update these notes
Articles get revisited whenever the underlying rules change — a new regulation, a new reporting requirement, a shift in how deposits are processed. The date shown is when it was last checked, not when it was first written.
