Corrections and How to Report One

Errors are fixed in place, with a date

When a page contains an error, the text is corrected where it stands and a dated note is added so a reader can see what changed and when. The original wording is not deleted from the record without trace, and the page does not quietly change overnight.

The same applies to a figure taken from a broker document. If the document said one thing on the date it was read and the page repeated it correctly, that is not an error, and the note will say so if the figure later changes.

What We Log as an Error: Wrong Figures, Broken Links and Misstated Rules

An error is a statement on this page that is factually wrong against the source we relied on at publication, not a statement you simply disagree with. A wrong bitcoin reference price, a misstated lot size for BTC/USD, a margin figure that no longer matches the 1:500 cap, or a broken link to the regulator caveat all qualify. So does a rule attributed to the wrong entity, such as naming a regulator that does not license FxPro Global Markets MENA Ltd. Wording you find clumsy, a chart you would have drawn differently, or a view on leverage risk you reject are not errors and are not logged as such.

A figure that was correct when we published it and has since moved is not an error unless we presented it as fixed. Bitcoin trades near 77000.0 as a reference point, not a live quote, and we say so. If the price moves and our page still reads as a snapshot with a date, that is the page working as intended. If we wrote a number as though it would hold and it did not, that is an error and it gets logged. The test is what the sentence promised the reader, not what the market did afterwards.

An error must be checkable against something outside our own text: a regulator notice, an exchange price at a stated time, a broker document, or a platform specification for MT4, MT5, cTrader or FxPro Edge. If we cannot point to the source that shows we were wrong, we do not log it as an error. We may add a clarification instead. This keeps the log honest and stops it filling with disputes about tone, emphasis or whether a risk warning was strong enough for a particular reader in the UAE.

Correction and Update: Two Different Marks for Two Different Problems

A correction says we were wrong; an update says the world moved. If a broker changes its platform lineup, or a regulator caveat is restated, and our page accurately described the old position, that is an update, not a correction. The distinction matters because it tells the reader whether to distrust our earlier text or simply to note that conditions changed. We mark corrections with the word Correction and updates with the word Update, and the two never share a stamp. A page can carry both marks on the same day for different reasons, and that is not a contradiction.

The test is simple: could we have known better at the time of writing? If the answer is yes, it is a correction. If the answer is no, because the source itself changed after we published, it is an update. A change to the maximum leverage available in the UAE, or to the list of funding methods such as cards, bank transfer and e-wallets, would normally be an update unless we misdescribed the position that already existed. We apply the test before we write the entry, not after, so the mark reflects the nature of the change rather than the convenience of the fix.

Readers should treat the two marks differently. A correction is a signal that a specific statement failed and has been repaired, so anything built on that statement deserves a second look. An update is a signal that the page is current but the underlying facts have shifted, so the earlier version was not wrong, merely older. Neither mark is a judgement on the reader who relied on the earlier text. Both are there so that someone checking our history can see, at a glance, whether the page changed because we erred or because the market, the broker or the regulator did.

Changed conditions are a re-check, not an error

A condition that has merely changed since the check is a re-check, not an error. If a broker alters its leverage limit, its funding methods or its account terms after the date a page was read, the page was accurate when written and the correct action is a fresh check of the broker's documents.

This distinction matters because broker terms move often and a page cannot track every change in real time. Each page records the date its figures were read, and that date is the reader's signal to confirm the current position with the broker before acting on anything.

Who Decides, and Within What Time

The decision to log a change sits with the editor responsible for the page, and the working target is to settle a reported factual error within two working days of it being confirmed against a source. Confirmation, not receipt, starts the clock: a report that cannot yet be checked against a named source stays open rather than being logged on assumption. Reports that arrive with a link to the source are settled fastest, because the checking step is short.

Where a report concerns a regulated fact, such as the leverage cap of up to 1:500 on standard forex accounts, within DFSA/SCA-compliant limits, or the wording that FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK), CySEC and FSCA, the editor checks the regulator or broker statement directly before changing anything. A reader's screenshot is treated as a prompt to check, not as the source itself. If the source cannot be reached, the page is left as it stands and the report is held open with a note in the feedback file.

Timing is stated as a target rather than a promise, because checking depends on how quickly a source responds. What is fixed is the order of work: a wrong figure that affects money, such as a margin example, is handled before a wording issue. When a decision is made, the editor who made it is recorded alongside the dated log line, so the reasoning can be traced later if the same point is raised again.

Why the Log Stays Public Rather Than Internal

The log stays public because a reader cannot judge a page's reliability without seeing how often it has been wrong and what kind of thing it got wrong. An internal log protects the publisher's reputation; a public one protects the reader. Anyone weighing whether to act on a margin example or a leverage statement can open the log, see the pattern of corrections, and decide how much checking to do themselves. That is more useful than a claim of accuracy.

Public logging also disciplines the writing. When every substantive error becomes a dated, visible line, the cheaper option is to check the regulator caveat, the platform list and the leverage cap before publishing rather than after. It removes the temptation to fix a figure silently and hope nobody noticed. For a page covering bitcoin at a reference price of about 77000.0, where a misplaced decimal changes the margin on a 0.10-lot position, that discipline has a direct cost to the reader if it slips.

There is a limit worth stating. The log records corrections to the page, not every internal draft or every query answered by email. It is a record of what changed on the published page and why, kept where a reader can reach it without asking. Keeping it public costs us the appearance of never being wrong, and that is a cost worth paying on a site about trading risk.

How a Correction Is Dated and Recorded Against the Original Wording

A correction is recorded by changing the sentence in place and stamping that spot with the date the fix went live, not the date someone first reported it. The original wording is preserved in the log entry beside the new wording, so a reader can see exactly what changed. We do not rewrite the page and quietly move on. Each entry carries the page name, the section, the old text, the new text, the date, and a one-line reason. The date is the publication date of the fix, in plain day-month-year form, so there is no ambiguity for readers in the UAE or elsewhere.

The date we use is the date the corrected page became visible, because that is the moment a reader could be misled or set right. If a fix is prepared on one day and published the next, the log shows the publication day. Where a correction depends on an external source, such as a regulator statement, we record the source date separately from our own fix date so the two are not confused. We do not backdate a correction to the original publication date, and we do not postdate it to look tidier. The stamp reflects what actually happened.

Recording is deliberately narrow: only the affected sentence or figure is rewritten, and everything around it stays as it was unless it depended on the error. If a wrong margin example at 1:500 on a 0.10-lot bitcoin position needed about $385.00 and we printed a different figure, we fix that figure and the sentence that used it, and we leave the rest of the section alone. A correction entry never deletes the surrounding context, because a reader checking the history needs to see the sentence in its original setting, not just an isolated number.

How to report a mistake

Send the report to editor@zabeeltokenae.com with the page address, the sentence you believe is wrong, and the source that shows the correct position. A broker document or a regulator page is the strongest kind of evidence, and a link to it saves a great deal of time.

The desk checks the report against the source before changing anything. If the correction is right, the page is updated and the dated note records it. If the report turns out to be mistaken, the page stays as it is, and the desk will say why if you ask.

How a Correction Is Recorded and Dated on the Log

A correction is recorded as a dated line in the public log, and the date used is the day the fix went live, not the day the reader wrote in. Each line names the page, states what the text said before and what it says now, and gives the source that settled it. The original publication date stays visible on the page itself, so a reader sees both when the page first appeared and when it last changed. Nothing is backdated and nothing is dated to the report.

The entry is written in plain language a non-specialist can follow. For a margin example it would say the old figure, the corrected figure and the leverage assumption behind it, rather than pointing at a line number. Where the correction touches bitcoin, the entry keeps the instrument code BTC/USD and the pip value of 1.0 explicit, so the arithmetic can be re-run by anyone reading. If a correction affects a worked figure, the new working is shown in full rather than just the result.

Dating is deliberately conservative. If a fix is made late in the evening UAE time, it carries the next day's date rather than the date of the original report. That keeps the log readable in sequence and stops two corrections landing on the same date when they were made on different days. A correction that is later found to be wrong is not overwritten; it gets a further dated line that points back to the earlier entry.

What Counts as an Error Worth Logging on This Page

An error worth logging is a statement that was wrong when it was published, not one that has since become outdated. On this page that means a figure, a lot size, a pip value, a leverage cap or a regulator name that did not match the source at the moment of writing. Bitcoin is quoted at a reference price of about 77000.0 with 1 lot = 1 BTC and one pip = 1.0, so a wrong decimal place in a margin example, such as the $385.00 figure for a 0.10-lot position, is exactly the kind of thing that gets logged.

Typos, awkward phrasing and layout faults are fixed quietly and are not logged as errors. What earns a line in the log is anything a reader could have acted on: a misstated platform list, a wrong regulator name, a funding method that FxPro does not actually support for UAE clients, or a leverage ratio other than the stated cap of up to 1:500 on standard forex accounts, within DFSA/SCA-compliant limits. If the mistake could have changed a funding decision or a position size, it is logged.

A disagreement of opinion is not an error. If a reader prefers a different risk approach, or thinks our caution around leverage is overstated, that is feedback, not a correction. The test we apply is factual: can the statement be checked against a named source, and does that source contradict us? Where the answer is yes, the item is logged with the date. Where the answer is no, it goes into the feedback file and may shape a future update instead.

The Three Marks: Error, Update and Clarification

Every change to this page carries one of three marks: error, update or clarification. An error mark means a statement was factually wrong against its source at publication. An update mark means the underlying fact changed after publication. A clarification mark means the original wording was accurate but could reasonably be read the wrong way, and the sentence has been rewritten without changing the fact. Each mark appears in the log with its date and a one-line reason.

The marks are not interchangeable and we do not trade one for another to soften the record. A wrong regulator name is an error even if it was a typo, because a reader could have relied on it. A rewritten sentence explaining that leverage of up to 1:500 on standard forex accounts, within DFSA/SCA-compliant limits, is a cap rather than a target would be a clarification if the original statement was already correct but easy to misread. The mark follows the effect on the reader, not our intent.

Clarifications are the most common mark and the least dramatic. They usually appear where a sentence was technically right but assumed context the reader did not have, such as the difference between a standard lot of 1 BTC and a 0.10-lot position. The clarification mark tells the reader the fact did not change, only the explanation. That keeps the log honest in both directions: it does not inflate small edits into errors, and it does not hide real errors behind the word clarification.

Correction Versus Update: Two Different Marks in the Log

A correction says the page was wrong; an update says the world moved. The distinction matters because they carry different weight for a reader deciding whether to trust the rest of the page. If we wrote that a broker was regulated by one body and it was in fact another, that is a correction. If the regulator caveat for the UAE reads that FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK), CySEC and FSCA and that wording itself is later reissued by the regulator, the page is updated, not corrected.

Updates are marked as revisions with the date of the change and a short note on what prompted it. They do not imply fault. Market conditions, platform lists and funding options change, and a page that tracks them has to move with them. A change to the maximum leverage available in the UAE, which is up to 1:500 on standard forex accounts, within DFSA/SCA-compliant limits and varies by instrument, would be an update if the stated cap itself changed at source.

The practical difference for a reader is what to re-check. A correction means an earlier statement should be discarded. An update means the earlier statement was accurate for its date but should now be read against the new one. Both are dated, both stay visible, and neither removes the text that came before. The mark in the log tells you which of the two you are looking at before you read the detail.
