TradeLuma Research
Editorial, sourcing, and update standards.
TradeLuma publishes educational material to help self-directed traders understand trading technology, execution, risk, and market concepts. This page explains how those guides are prepared and maintained.
Educational, not advisory
Our public guides explain trading, automation, market structure, indicators, execution, and risk concepts. They do not tell readers what to buy or sell and do not promise results.
Primary sources where they matter
For broker behaviour, exchange specifications, TradingView functionality, or platform-specific mechanics, we prefer official documentation and primary sources when a factual claim depends on them.
Experience separated from fact
TradeLuma may explain operational lessons from building and monitoring trading automation. We distinguish platform experience from universal market claims.
Clear update dates
When a material change affects a guide, we update the content and its modified date. Cosmetic edits alone should not be presented as a meaningful content refresh.
No invented authority
Content is published by TradeLuma Research. We do not invent expert biographies, credentials, testimonials, or performance evidence to make an article appear more authoritative.
Risk context stays visible
Trading involves uncertainty and potential loss. Guides about leverage, futures, strategies, or execution retain the risk context needed to understand the limitations of the topic.
Original value before publishing volume
A new guide should add a useful decision framework, worked example, original diagram, operational lesson, primary-source interpretation, or another concrete layer of value. We do not treat publication frequency by itself as an editorial goal.
One primary search intent per page
Closely related guides are separated by a clearly defined reader question. Where two pages could overlap, we identify the primary intent, link between them, and avoid presenting near-duplicate pages as separate answers to the same query.
How an article is reviewed
We start with a clearly defined search or learning intent, then build the article around the decisions a reader actually needs to understand. The aim is to add practical context rather than repeat definitions that are already available everywhere.
Technical claims are checked against relevant documentation or established market mechanics. Platform-specific claims are reviewed against the current TradeLuma implementation before publication. Where a concept is inherently subjective, the guide explains the limitation instead of presenting opinion as fact.
Older articles are reviewed when platform behaviour changes, when a source becomes outdated, or when performance data indicates that readers are reaching a page with a different intent from the one it was written to serve.
For platform-specific or market-mechanics claims, reviewers prefer current primary documentation where it materially affects the answer. TradeLuma-specific operational examples are labelled as platform experience rather than universal market rules.
Before a new page is added, we also check whether an existing guide already owns the same core search intent. If it does, the preferred action is normally to improve the existing page rather than create another thin variation.
