Editorial Policy
How Options Blog creates, reviews, labels, updates, and corrects educational content.
Purpose
Options Blog aims to explain options mechanics accurately, clearly, and without presenting speculative outcomes as promises.
Standards
- Use primary sources where practical.
- State assumptions and calculation dates.
- Label hypothetical, paper-traded, historical, delayed, and sponsored material.
- Describe material risks alongside potential benefits.
- Do not remove losing trade studies merely to improve the visible record.
- Separate editorial judgments from affiliate compensation.
Review
Before publication, technical material should be checked for contract mechanics, formulas, payoff descriptions, terminology, and risk statements. Add the actual author and reviewer workflow before launch.
AI-assisted content
Any AI-assisted draft should be reviewed by a responsible human editor. AI output is not a source and can contain plausible errors.
