Corrections
If a page states something mechanically wrong: a formula, a threshold, a settlement cycle, a definition. That is worth reporting and it will be checked against the primary source. The most efficient form is the page address, the sentence in question, and the source that contradicts it. Corrections are made on the page rather than quietly, and a materially corrected page says so; the editorial policy page sets out the standard every claim here is held to.
Reports that a figure has become outdated are equally welcome. Commission schedules, approval tiers and market rules change, and a site of this kind goes stale in specific, findable places rather than all at once.
Questions about mechanics
Questions about how something works are read, and they shape what gets written next. Several sections here exist because the same question kept arriving in a different form. There is no undertaking to reply individually, and a question answered well tends to become a page rather than a message.
Two things that cannot be answered
The first is any question about a specific security: whether to buy it, hold it, sell it, or what it might do. That is not modesty. This site has no view on individual securities by design, and producing one privately by email while refusing to publish one would be worse than useless.
The second is anything requiring knowledge of your circumstances: whether a position suits your situation, what it means for your tax, or how much to commit. Those are questions for someone who knows your position and is authorized to advise on it, which this site is neither.
Placement and promotion
There is no paid inclusion, no sponsored placement, no affiliate arrangement and no advertising on this site, and no proposal of that kind will be accepted. Platform names appear because they are relevant to a comparison, and none of them has paid to be named. This is stated here because it is the usual business model for pages like these, and its absence changes what the pages are able to say.
What makes a correction easy to act on
Three things, in order of usefulness. The exact address of the page, because several pages here carry long inherited addresses and a description is ambiguous; the index lists every one of them. The sentence as it currently stands, so there is no doubt which claim is disputed. And the source that contradicts it, an exchange rule, a regulator's own guidance, a clearing-house document or a company filing, because a mechanical claim can only be corrected against another mechanical claim.
Disagreements about emphasis or framing are read with interest and handled differently. Where a page states a fact correctly but leaves out a qualification that changes how it lands, that is usually worth fixing too, and it is the kind of improvement that only comes from readers.
Reaching the editorial team
Editorial correspondence is addressed to [email protected], which is the route to use for anything at all: corrections, sources, questions about mechanics. Please include the page address in any message about a specific page: the site has a number of long legacy addresses, and the exact URL removes all ambiguity about which page is meant.
Who publishes this site
Round Lot is published by Round Lot Media LLC, 37 Kingsbridge Row, Suite 210, Wilmington, DE 19805, United States. It is stated here because a reference that will not say who stands behind it is asking for a kind of trust it has offered no basis for: the same reason every page carries a byline and every figure carries a date. Email is the working channel; the address identifies the publisher rather than inviting post.
