Corrections
Everything we have published and later found to be wrong, with the date, what was actually true, and what we changed so it does not happen again. Entries are never edited or deleted.
What we said
Later the same day we published seven further change records: two at MyFundedFutures (both labelled “Better for traders”), two at TradeDay and three at FTMO.
What is actually true
None of the seven firms changed anything. What we published was our own navigation menus (“About Us”, “Pricing”, “Log In”), a marketing widget’s heading, and — on the three FTMO entries — a fragment of JavaScript.
Why we got it wrong
While fixing the first correction we also changed the rules for which parts of a page count as readable text, so that section headings inside an article would stop being thrown away. The new rule decided what was site navigation by how deeply it sat in the page. On sites that nest their menu a few levels down, that let the entire menu back in. Because the change altered how *every* page is read, every page's text moved at once — and the robot, which only knows “this text is not what it was”, correctly reported that as changes. The firms did nothing.
What it affected
Seven records, live for roughly two hours, across the home page, the change log, four firm pages and the weekly issue. Two carried a direction label (“Better for traders”) that was meaningless because there was no change to have a direction. All seven have been deleted rather than edited, and every page we watch has been re-read from scratch.
What we changed
Two things. The narrow fix: menus and footers are now removed wherever they sit, headings are kept only inside the article itself, and anything that looks like code is dropped before comparing. The fix that matters more: our reader now carries a version number, stored alongside every page. When we change how pages are read, the robot re-reads them and quietly starts a new baseline instead of announcing our own edit as the firm's. We should not have needed to learn that twice in one day.
What we said
On 22 August 2026 we published a change record saying Tradeify had removed the line “4 payouts and you’re Live” from its Path-to-Live page, and we labelled it “Small change — worth reading”.
What is actually true
Tradeify changed nothing. The line was on the page before, it is on the page now, and it was on the page the whole time in between.
Why we got it wrong
The fault was entirely ours. Our reader strips out rotating “live payout” counters before comparing a page, because those numbers change by themselves and would otherwise look like rule changes. The rule that removed them was written too loosely: it deleted any line containing a number followed by the word “payouts”. That matched Tradeify’s actual rule line. The line vanished from our copy of the page, and our comparison honestly reported that it had vanished — from a page where it never moved.
What it affected
One change record, shown on the home page, the change log, the Tradeify page and in one weekly issue. It was our first and only published change. No firm was accused of anything, and the label was our second-mildest, but it was still wrong and it is still our mistake. The record has been deleted rather than edited, and Tradeify’s page has been re-read from scratch.
What we changed
The filter now only removes running counters — figures with a thousands separator, or phrases like “over 8,000 traders funded” — and never a plain rule such as “Maximum 2 payouts per month”. Our self-check now tests exactly those phrases on every run, so this specific mistake cannot return unnoticed. The same audit found that the filter had also been hiding several real payout rules from us; those are now visible and monitored.
