Editorial Policy & How SteadyPips Works

Last updated: July 29, 2026

This page exists so you know exactly what you are reading, who produced it, and how the site pays for itself. If anything here is unclear or you believe something we published is wrong, email [email protected] — corrections are handled as described at the bottom of this page.

Who Runs SteadyPips

SteadyPips is an independent, individually operated site. It is not a brokerage, not a fund, not a regulated financial adviser, and not a research house with a trading desk. There is no editorial team, no analyst bench, and no institutional backing behind it.

We want to be direct about this because the forex space is full of sites that imply otherwise. We do not claim licences, certifications, or an assets-under-management figure, and you will not find invented analyst bylines on our articles. What we have is a published, testable process — described below — and you should weigh our content on that basis rather than on credentials.

Nothing on this site is personalised financial advice. We do not know your circumstances, and no article, signal, or EA on this site takes them into account.

How Our Content Is Produced

SteadyPips runs on an automated content pipeline with human oversight. Specifically:

Market data is pulled from broker and market-data feeds on a schedule. Price levels, ranges, and technical readings quoted in daily and weekly posts come from those feeds, not from hand-charting.
Drafting is AI-assisted. Articles, daily analysis, and weekly outlooks are generated by large language models working from that data against fixed editorial templates and rules. This is the honest description of our process; we do not pass this work off as hand-written analyst commentary.
A human operator reviews and is accountable. The operator sets the rules the system writes under, reviews output, and is responsible for everything published. Automation does not remove that accountability.
Educational guides (the “how to” and “what is” articles) are longer-lived pieces built the same way, then revised as platforms, spreads, and broker conditions change. Where a guide has a lastmod date, that is when it was last substantively reviewed.

What this process is good at: consistency, coverage, and keeping technical levels current. What it is bad at: judgement calls, unusual market conditions, and anything requiring lived trading experience. Treat our daily and weekly market posts as structured summaries of what the data shows, not as expert forecasts. Read the second and third opinion elsewhere before acting on any of it.

How Our Expert Advisors Are Built and Tested

Our EAs are produced by a systematic generation-and-testing pipeline, not by a discretionary trader encoding a personal method:

Strategy generation. Candidate strategies are generated as parameterised rule sets — indicator combinations, entry and exit conditions, stop and target geometry — within constraints we set (for example: every trade must carry a hard stop; no martingale or loss-averaging logic).
Backtesting. Each candidate is run in a strategy tester over historical data on major pairs, with spread modelled. Test windows and conditions are stated on each EA’s page and consolidated on our performance page.
Quality gate. A pair/EA combination is only recommended if it clears an internal threshold over the test window. That threshold is ours, not an industry standard, and clearing it is not evidence that a strategy will work in future.
Release. Surviving strategies are compiled for MT4 and MT5 and published free. Where a pair failed the gate, we say so on the EA’s page rather than quietly omitting it.

Every performance figure we publish is hypothetical and backtested. We have no verified live track record, and we do not present one. Hypothetical results are produced with the benefit of hindsight, involve no financial risk, and cannot fully reproduce slippage, requotes, or liquidity gaps. Backtested performance does not indicate future results.

We also want to be plain about the central limitation: a strategy selected because it performed well on historical data is, by construction, at risk of being fitted to that data. Out-of-sample failure is the normal outcome for such strategies, not an edge case. This is why we recommend demo testing before live use on every EA page, and why our backtesting guide spends more time on how backtests mislead than on how to run one.

What We Will Not Publish

These are standing rules for everything on this site:

No guaranteed or promised returns. Not for our EAs, not for any strategy, not in any timeframe.
No performance figure without its label. Every number is identified as backtested, hypothetical, or illustrative, with its test period and conditions.
No invented authorship. We do not attach fictional analysts, credentials, or team members to our content.
No fabricated testimonials or user results.
No “risk-free” framing. Demo accounts protect your capital; nothing protects you from market risk once you go live.
No suppression of unfavourable results. Where a pair or configuration tested badly, it is stated alongside the ones that tested well.

How SteadyPips Makes Money

We are funded in two ways, and both are disclosed on the pages where they appear:

Introducing Broker commission from XM. SteadyPips is an XM Introducing Broker. When you open an XM account through one of our links and trade, XM pays us a commission derived from your trading activity. You pay the same spreads and fees as any other XM client — the commission comes from XM, not from you. Our EAs require an XM account registered through our system, which is how the IB relationship is verified and how the EAs stay free. Full detail: affiliate disclosure.
Advertising. Pages on this site may carry third-party display advertising. Advertisers have no input into our content, and advertisements are not endorsements by us.

The conflict of interest this creates, stated plainly: we are paid when readers open XM accounts and trade. That gives us a financial incentive to encourage account opening and trading activity. You should read our broker coverage and our EA recommendations with that incentive in mind. We do not accept payment for a specific verdict in a review, and our commission does not change what the market data says — but the incentive exists, and pretending otherwise would be the dishonest option.

Accuracy and Corrections

We publish a high volume of automatically generated market content, and errors happen — stale price levels, an out-of-date platform detail, a broken figure.

If you find something wrong, email [email protected] with the page URL and what is incorrect. Substantive errors are corrected in place and the page’s revision date updated. If a correction materially changes an article’s conclusion, we note the change on the page rather than silently editing it.

We do not remove unfavourable information about our own EAs on request, including our own.
