This page explains how the team at Forex.ke researches, writes, reviews, and updates content across the site. It brings together our editorial standards, source rules, AI policy, privacy approach, and quality checks in one place, so readers can see how our articles are made.
Our Editorial Standard
We aim to publish clear, accurate, and up to date information about forex trading, brokers, trading tools, market education, and related financial topics. Every article is written, reviewed, and approved by humans. Facts are checked against original, official, or otherwise reliable material before anything goes live.
Financial markets, broker terms, regulation, and trading products can change fast. That means an article that was accurate when published may later need updating. We work to correct outdated or inaccurate information as quickly as possible. If you spot an error, you can contact us and we’ll review it.
How Our Articles Are Created
1. Topic Planning and Scope
Our content team decides which topics should be covered on Forex.ke based on reader needs, market relevance, and editorial priorities. An editor then sets the purpose of the page, the intended audience, and any geographic or regulatory limits that matter.
Where a topic could confuse readers without context, we add clear explanations, definitions, and risk notes early in the article. Once the scope and structure are approved, the brief is assigned to a writer.
2. Research and Source Collection
The writer gathers material using a clear order of source priority. For every source we may cite, we record the document title, canonical URL, and the date it was accessed. That keeps things tidy, and stops the classic “where did this stat come from?” problem.
Our source order is:
Tier 1: Primary sources
Official broker documents, platform documentation, pricing pages, legal documents, fee schedules, product specifications, company announcements, transcripts, filings, and original datasets.
Tier 2: Regulatory, government, and institutional sources
Regulators, central banks, government publications, official statistics offices, and peer reviewed or institutional research.
Tier 3: Trusted financial and news media
Used for context, market background, and timelines where stronger sources are not available. These never overrule Tier 1 or Tier 2 sources.
3. Drafting
A human writer produces the first draft in plain, readable language. Figures, dates, rules, and definitions are taken from the source material with care. The explanation itself is original, and attribution is made clear where needed.
We write for real readers, not robots pretending to be traders at 2 a.m. after three energy drinks.
4. Citations and Linking
Where citations are used, links are placed close to the claim they support. Anchor text is descriptive, and usually one strong source is enough for one factual point. When a source changes often, we may mention the effective date or last updated date inside the sentence.
Citation links are not monetized.
5. Article Finalization by the Writer
Before an article moves to review, the writer reads through it again to improve clarity, flow, and readability. Any awkward wording, missing context, or gaps in explanation are addressed at this stage.
The aim is simple: the article should make sense to the reader without padding, waffle, or jargon that sounds clever but explains nothing.
6. Editorial Review and Fact Check
An editor reviews the article against the original sources. They check factual claims, confirm that regulatory and jurisdiction notes are accurate, and resolve contradictions by giving more weight to the stronger source.
The editor also reviews tone, spelling, structure, and readability. Small edits may be made directly. If a section needs heavier rewriting, the article goes back to the writer for another pass before returning to editorial review.
If the article is a broker review or service review, it must also match our review standards and internal review criteria.
In some cases, another team member may also carry out a fact check. This gives us another layer of review and helps catch anything that may need correcting, updating, or explaining more clearly.
7. Risk, Compliance, and Clarity Review
Where needed, risk warnings are added to make sure readers are not misled. We avoid language that implies guaranteed returns or risk free outcomes, because that would be nonsense, and expensive nonsense at that.
Because forex and leveraged trading can involve substantial risk, we take care to explain possible losses, product limitations, and other important warnings in a direct and readable way.
8. Visual Review and Illustration
Articles may include charts, screenshots, tables, and other visual aids to help readers understand the topic better. Any illustration used should be relevant, accurate, current, and consistent with the article.
We do not add visuals just to make the page look busy. If it’s there, it should help.
9. Final Checks and Publishing
Before publication, we refine headings, metadata, and internal links. Once the article is live, we do a final check to make sure formatting, links, and page elements display correctly.
10. Ongoing Maintenance and Updates
Important pages are checked more often than low impact pages. We update articles when broker terms change, regulators issue new rules, products are modified, links break, or better source material becomes available.
AI tools may be used to help scan for possible issues, but any flagged change is reviewed by a human before publication.
How We Use AI
AI can support research and quality control, but it does not replace human judgment.
We do not use AI to write full articles as if they were written by a person and then quietly pass them off as human work. Human review sits at the centre of our process, not at the edge of it.
AI may be used to support tasks such as:
- helping locate relevant source material faster
- assisting with translation of non English documents, with human verification
- highlighting possible content gaps or confusing wording
- flagging possible errors or outdated claims
- helping identify unanswered reader questions through site data and performance trends
Any output from AI tools is reviewed by a human editor or writer before anything is changed or published. AI systems are not treated as source authorities and are not cited as evidence.
Comparison Pages and Structured Data Content
Where Forex.ke publishes structured comparison content, such as broker versus broker pages or data led feature comparisons, these pages may use fixed templates populated with manually verified information from our editorial database or broker reviews.
These pages are not built by AI guessing its way through the page. Data inputs are checked by humans before publication.
Privacy and Data Handling
You do not need to provide personal data just to read our site. If you contact us, we only use the information you provide in order to respond to your message or handle your request.
We also aim to keep personal or sensitive information out of AI tools used in our editorial workflow.
Analytics tools and affiliate cookies may be used on the site. More detail should be provided in our Privacy Policy, including any options available to users.
Independence and Affiliate Relationships
Our editorial opinions are independent. Some outbound links may use affiliate tracking, and partners may place a cookie for a set period after a user clicks through. That does not affect our source standards, conclusions, or wording.
Advertisers and commercial partners do not get to approve, suppress, or rewrite our findings.
Citation links used to support factual claims are not monetized.
Quality Standards and What We Avoid
We do not rely on weak, anonymous, or unverified material. Where reliable sources disagree, we explain the difference and give more weight to the stronger source.
That means we avoid:
- anonymous blog claims with no evidence
- marketing pages that make performance claims without showing method or proof
- unsupported statistics with no audit trail
- recycled claims copied from third party summaries without checking the original source
If two credible sources conflict, we may link both and explain which one carries more authority and why.
Accessibility and Readability
We aim to write in plain language wherever possible. Industry terms are explained, jargon is reduced, and examples are added where they help readers understand the point better.
Tables, charts, and visual summaries should include clear labels and context where appropriate.
Corrections
If you believe something on Forex.ke is wrong, outdated, or unclear, you can contact us with the page URL and the section in question. If you have a better source, include it, though that is not required. We review corrections and update pages where needed.
Version Tracking
We keep internal records of who wrote a page, who edited it, what changed, and when. Material updates to important factual information such as spreads, fees, leverage, trading rules, or regulatory status are prioritized.
