Standards
Editorial Policy
The standards that govern what we publish, how it is reviewed, and what we will not claim.

Independence
Coal Seam Research is editorially independent. Content is not commissioned, reviewed or approved by any trading platform, and we hold no commercial relationship with ProMarketsCFD. We do not publish affiliate links to trading services, sponsored placements presented as editorial, or paid rankings.
Sourcing
- Primary sources first: a provider's own published documentation and terms.
- Publicly available industry information and recognised market data conventions.
- Clearly labelled educational context where no verifiable source exists.
- Where we cannot verify a claim, we say so rather than repeating it.
Claims we do not make
We do not fabricate ratings, awards, licensing status, testimonials or performance figures. We do not claim direct account experience unless it is explicitly described. We do not state that any platform is safe, regulated in a specific jurisdiction, or suitable for a particular reader — those are matters for primary sources and individual circumstances.
Risk framing
Trading content carries an obligation to present risk honestly. Every article that touches leverage or market exposure includes explicit risk context, and our educational tools show adverse scenarios alongside favourable ones. We avoid urgency language, profit implications and any framing designed to prompt trading activity.
Review and updates
Articles are reviewed before publication for accuracy, clarity, internal consistency and compliance with this policy. Because platform features and market conventions change, pages are revisited periodically and updated where the underlying facts have moved.
Corrections
Material errors are corrected promptly and the change is reflected in the page. Readers who identify an inaccuracy are encouraged to report it. Our methods are described in full on the research methodology page, and our remit is set out in About Us.
No advice
Nothing published here is financial, investment, trading, tax or legal advice. All content is general and educational, and it does not take account of any individual's objectives, financial situation or needs.
