Source rules and read dates · Malaysia
Which sources this guide trusts and in what order, what a read date on vtg-malaysia.com actually promises, and how a correction reaches every page that carries the figure.

First, the document that creates the obligation: a client agreement, an account terms page, a contract specification published by the broker itself. Second, a public register or an official notice from an authority. Third, a reference work for terms that belong to the market rather than to any broker — what a contract for difference is, what a pip is. Nothing below that line becomes a fact on this site.
Comparison sites, affiliate round-ups and forum posts are not sources here. At most they are a reason to go and read a primary document, and the primary document is what gets cited.
What a read date promises, and what it does not
A read date means one narrow thing: on that day, the named page said this. It does not promise the page still says it today, and it does not promise the broker will honour it. That is the whole reason the date is printed next to the figure instead of being replaced by a vague «current» or «2026».
If a figure here disagrees with the broker's own page now, the broker's page is right and this one is out of date. The read date is how a reader can tell how much room there is for that to have happened.
When a source cannot be reached, or says nothing
Sometimes the primary document is unavailable — a register refuses a connection, a page is behind a login, a term is simply not published anywhere. The rule in that case is to record the attempt rather than the guess: the page states what was looked for, where, and that it was not found, and no number is printed.
The same applies to silence. A broker that does not publish a resolution time has not published one; the honest sentence is that it is not published and has not been measured here, and that sentence appears on this site more than once.
Quoting: exact words, or none
Where a source's exact wording carries the meaning — a regulator's remark against an entry, the name of an entity in an agreement — it is quoted verbatim, inside quotation marks, with the source named. Trimming is allowed only where it does not change the sense, and a paraphrase is never presented as a quotation.
Reader comments and reviews, where this site uses them at all, are treated as questions worth answering rather than as evidence about a broker. One person's experience is not a fact about how an account behaves, and it is not published as one.
Corrections, and how one reaches every page
A wrong figure is fixed in the site's single source of truth, not on the page where it was noticed. The next build then carries the correction to every page that uses the same fact, and the build stamp changes with it — so a reader can tell that something moved. A correction never waits for the quarterly review.
This site runs no reader inbox and publishes no support address, and it will not invent one to look approachable: a question about an account belongs with the broker that holds the account, through the channels described on the customer service page. What this guide offers instead is disprovability — the source and the read date sit next to the figure precisely so that a reader can check it against the primary document without asking anyone's permission, and treat the primary document as the winner.
