Editorial Standards

1. Selection is editorial

Individuals are selected for documented educational relevance, subject-matter expertise, distinctive public work, or meaningful contribution within an approved area of study. Payment cannot purchase selection, placement, favorable treatment, or a higher position.

2. Evidence must be attributable

Factual statements should be supported by authoritative records, official sources, published materials, public interviews, or direct written clarification. Unverifiable performance claims are identified as claims rather than treated as established facts.

3. Analysis must be useful and proportionate

Profiles focus on documented contribution, educational relevance, methods, principles, public resources, limitations, and appropriate context. Personal attacks, speculation about motives, rankings, and sensational treatment are excluded.

4. Material connections are disclosed

Sun Tzu Trading does not use affiliate links, referral codes, paid placements, sponsored rankings, or commission-based recommendations. Relevant ownership, employment, gifted-access, organizational, or other material connections are disclosed clearly without creating a compensated destination.

5. One governed public destination

Each published individual editorial profile may expose no more than one approved clickable external destination. The destination must be direct, uncompensated, non-promotional, and reasonably suited to independent study of the individual’s documented public work.

Course, checkout, deal, discount, coupon, referral, affiliate, sponsored, and tracked promotional destinations are prohibited. Additional sources may be identified in plain text for factual context and verification without becoming public promotional links.

6. Profiles are dated and revisable

Every published individual editorial profile records a review date. Reliable correction requests are assessed, and material changes to roles, credentials, ownership, public work, official destinations, or disclosed relationships can trigger an update.

7. No performance guarantee

Educational relevance and public influence do not prove trading profitability or guarantee results. Individual editorial profiles do not certify returns, verify private account statements, provide individualized financial advice, or establish that any method will suit a particular reader.
