Corrections Policy

Last updated: April 19, 2026

Accuracy is fundamental to AlphaEdge’s mission. Because our content covers financial markets—a domain where incorrect information can directly affect readers’ economic decisions—we treat every factual error as a priority to resolve promptly and transparently.

1. Our Commitment

When we get something wrong, we fix it. We do not silently edit articles, bury corrections in footnotes, or delete content to avoid accountability. Our readers deserve to know what was corrected and why.

2. Types of Corrections

We classify corrections into three tiers based on their impact:

Minor Corrections

Typographical errors, formatting issues, broken links, or minor phrasing improvements that do not change the meaning or factual content of an article. These are fixed in place without a correction notice.

Factual Corrections

Errors in data points (stock prices, index levels, percentage changes, economic figures), misattributed quotes, incorrect company names or ticker symbols, or wrong dates. These are corrected in the article text with a visible correction notice appended at the top of the article body, noting the date of correction and what was changed.

Correction (April 15, 2026): This article originally stated the S&P 500 closed at 5,320.40. The correct closing level was 5,302.40. The error has been corrected in the text and closing scoreboard table.

Material Corrections

Errors that significantly affect the analytical conclusions, investment thesis, or overall narrative of an article—for example, mischaracterizing a Fed policy decision, reversing the direction of an economic indicator, or materially misstating a company’s earnings results. These receive a prominent correction notice, and the affected analytical sections are revised or supplemented with updated analysis.

3. Correction Process

  1. Identification: Errors may be identified internally during post-publication review or reported by readers via email.
  2. Verification: The reported error is checked against primary data sources before any correction is made. We do not correct based on unverified claims.
  3. Correction: The article is updated with the correct information. For factual and material corrections, a correction notice is added to the article specifying what was changed and when.
  4. Metadata update: The article’s dateModified timestamp is updated to reflect the correction date, ensuring search engines are aware the content has been revised.

4. Update Policy

Financial markets are dynamic. Certain articles—particularly morning updates and week-ahead outlooks—contain forward-looking statements that may be overtaken by events. We do not retroactively edit predictions or forecasts to appear more accurate after the fact. The original analysis stands as published.

If significant market events occur after publication that materially affect an article’s context (e.g., a major earnings miss after a morning update was published), we address this in the next scheduled article rather than revising the earlier one.

5. Retraction Policy

In the unlikely event that an article contains errors so fundamental that correction is insufficient—for example, if an article were based on data from an entirely wrong trading session—we will retract the article. Retracted articles are replaced with a retraction notice explaining the reason, and remain accessible at their original URL for transparency.

6. Report an Error
