Editorial standards: where our figures come from and how we correct errors

This page sets out where the figures on Backcom VN come from, who writes them, how we handle
mistakes, and what we gain when you read. You should know all four before trusting any number
here.

Where the figures come from

The content falls into two kinds, handled differently:

Broker fee schedules and rebate levels

Taken from each broker’s own published tables and rebuilt into a comparison on one unit — US dollars
per round-turn lot. Every table carries an update date directly beneath it, because
rebate levels change with a broker’s partner policy, sometimes several times a year.

If you quote figures from here, cite the date you accessed them. The
rebate comparison table is the example.

Market figures in news articles

Every news article carries a Sources section at the end listing every piece we read
to write it, with links. No exceptions: an article citing a figure without a source is an error, and
you can report it to us.

We check at least two sources for every important number, and for US economic data
we also check the original English source — because Vietnamese search results routinely mix last
year’s articles with this year’s.

We have been wrong, and this is how we fix it

On 11 September 2026, our article on US CPI carried three incorrect figures — the forecast and the
inflation readings for the two preceding months — because the source we quoted had mixed in 2025 data.
The article described inflation as accelerating when in fact it was easing slowly.

How we handled it, and the rule we apply every time since:

• Correct in place, keep the URL. Deleting and reposting breaks every link pointing
  to the article.
• State at the top that it was corrected, and what was corrected. No silent
  edits.
• Give the cause. In that case, a source that mixed in the previous year’s
  data.

The corrected article is still at the same address, with an update note at the top:
US CPI for August: what counts as
hot.

Three things we do not write

• No profit promises. A rebate reduces cost; it does not create profit and it does
  not offset a loss. This appears in the disclaimer at the foot of every article.
• No “best broker” rankings. We are an introducing partner of all eight brokers
  listed, so a ranking produced by us would not be trustworthy. Instead, every article places the figures
  side by side so you can compare them yourself.
• No account screenshots as evidence. A screenshot of a profit proves nothing — see
  what traders actually earn.

The conflict of interest, stated plainly

Backcom VN is an Introducing Broker for the brokers on this site. When you open an account through
our link, the broker pays commission on the volume you trade, and most of that is returned to you. What
we keep is our revenue.

Which means we have a financial interest in your trading. Take that into account
when reading any comparison here. The full details are in the
risk warning.

What we do not benefit from: you trading more than is sensible. The rebate is paid on
volume, so in the short term we gain if you overtrade — but this model only survives when traders stay
for years, and people who overtrade do not. That is why the
article on overtrading is on this very site.

Who writes it

The content is produced by the Backcom VN editorial team. We are not licensed financial advisers,
and we do not assess any individual’s financial situation or risk tolerance. Everything here is
informational.

Our expertise sits in one narrow, specific area: the structure of trading costs —
fee schedules, IB commission, payment cycles, and how these accumulate. That is what we work with daily
across eight brokers’ data.

Reporting an error

If you see a wrong figure, an out-of-date table or a broken link, write to
support@backcom.io with the article link. We check it and fix
it, and if it is a factual error we add an update note on the article itself.

This article is for information only and is not investment advice. Conditions and fee levels are published by the brokers and can change at any time — check with the broker you actually use. Leveraged forex and CFD trading carries a high level of risk and can cost you your entire deposit.
