Editorial Policy

Accuracy and verification

Strategy content is drafted from established derivatives theory, then verified mechanically: the payoff engine independently computes each strategy's maximum profit, maximum loss and breakevens from its legs, and the build fails if a page's structural claims cannot be rendered. Each page carries a last-reviewed date. We distinguish clearly between mathematical identities (a box spread's payoff), market conventions (default strike widths) and rules of thumb ("sell premium when IV rank is high") — the last of which we label as opinion held by some practitioners, not fact.

No performance claims, ever

We do not publish win rates, expectancy, backtests or historical returns for any strategy, and we do not say a strategy is profitable, safe, best or low-risk. Any of those claims would require assumptions about entry rules, exits, sizing, costs and the specific historical period — assumptions that turn a reference work into a marketing document. Where a strategy is popularly described in those terms, we explain why the description is incomplete.

Independence

StrategyGyan is independent and educational. We do not accept payment to promote brokers, platforms, products or securities, and no page is a recommendation. There are no affiliate links on this site at the time of writing; if that ever changes, it will be disclosed on the page in question and here.

Corrections

We fix errors promptly. If you spot a mistake, tell us via the contact page. Material corrections are logged with a date on the update history page and the affected page's review date is refreshed. We do not refresh review dates without a real review.

Use of AI

Drafting tools are used in production of this site. Every formula, payoff claim and Greek sign is machine-verified against the pricing engine, and every page is reviewed by a human before publication. Errors that survive that process are ours, and we want to hear about them.

No investment advice

Nothing on StrategyGyan is investment, trading, legal or tax advice. We are not SEBI-registered. See the SEBI Disclaimer and Risk Disclosure.
