Who this is for and what it solves

IEPTO serves readers checking perpetual-futures costs, liquidation rules, funding and position risk. Each page must complete a distinct task rather than create interchangeable URLs for nearby search phrases.

How evidence is graded

Material conclusions use the strongest source a reader can trace, while published rules, IEPTO observations, editorial interpretation and real-account experience remain distinct.

  • First-hand evidence: account captures, transaction records or reproducible test logs with sensitive fields removed.
  • Public primary sources: regulator material, venue contract rules, fee schedules, API documentation and responses.
  • IEPTO observation: stored data naming the venue, instrument, timestamp and collection method.
  • Pending: KYC, transfers, execution, support and regional availability receive no score or winner claim without a current real-account record.

How calculations are validated

Calculators disclose inputs, formula assumptions, tier units, fee scope and exclusions; venue-specific models remain separate. Boundary and regression tests check outputs, but the venue account and order preview remain authoritative.

How automation and AI are used

Automation collects public data and checks staleness, localization, links and structured data. AI may assist drafting, translation and QA. Volatile facts are still checked against a current primary source, and no account experience or conclusion is generated without evidence.

Updates, dates and corrections

An article date changes only after a factual, methodological or substantive edit. Data pages show collection or settlement time; rules that can change retain a source and checked date. Errors are corrected in the copy and tests rather than hidden behind a fresh date.

Affiliate links do not determine rank

Some venue links are disclosed affiliate links. Commission cannot change calculations, table order, evidence status or editorial conclusions. No venue is labelled cheapest or best without a like-for-like calculation or comparable evidence.
