How to read the notes below
Written for people just starting out
Every note here assumes zero background in markets. Where a term can't be avoided, it's explained the first time it shows up, and where rules differ by province, that's spelled out rather than glossed over.
What you won't find here
No price predictions, no signals to follow blindly. Any promise of a guaranteed return is the clearest warning sign in this industry, and we won't be adding to it.
How often these are updated
Notes get revisited whenever the underlying rules change — new regulation, a new reporting requirement, a shift in how deposits are handled. The date shown is when it was last checked, not when it was first written.
