From research to publication: how our articles are made.

Who writes each article on ICT Trading Concepts, who checks it, and what we do when we get something wrong.

Research-based Facts checked Two-person review
Why

Trading lessons that are accurate and worth reading.

Our articles exist to explain ICT and Smart Money Concepts to traders in a clear and honest way. Below you can see how an article moves from first idea to live page, who answers for each step, and how errors are dealt with.

The Process

Five steps, and none is optional.

An article moves through five steps: working out what readers need, researching, framing the piece, structuring and formatting it with help from AI, and a human review. Until that review is done, nothing is published.

Stage 1

Real questions from traders come first.

We search for the ideas traders tend to confuse, the setups they often get wrong, and the subjects where what is already out there is thin or mistaken. Every article answers a genuine question rather than filling a content calendar.

Stage 2

Sources before charts.

Writers study primary and reputable sources, work each example through on real charts, and confirm every claim with more than one source. If traders interpret a concept in different ways, the article says so instead of treating one reading as the only one.

Stage 3

People decide the content.

Before any drafting tool comes in, a person sets out what the article will be: what it covers, its key points, the reader level it targets and the risks it has to mention. That brief is written first, so the content comes from an editorial choice and not from a machine.

Stage 4

AI organises; it does not decide what is true.

Within that brief, AI tools may help organise and format the article: turning notes into headings, cleaning up Markdown or drafting image descriptions. That is the limit of its role. AI never chooses a topic, judges facts or publishes.

People

Writing and reviewing are done by different people.

An editorial writer writes each article, and a separate reviewer checks it. You will find both names at the top of every article.
