Corrections

How we handle corrections

Corrections come from two main places: problems that readers point out by email, and discrepancies we find ourselves when reviewing our work or checking it against Binance's official pages. Either way, once we've confirmed it, we update the article in question and log an entry here: what it used to say, what we changed it to, and roughly which month. Where platform rules are involved, we try to add a note that Binance's official pages are the source of truth.

If you spot something wrong, please write to us at [email protected]. Corrections we accept will show up in the list below.

2026-09 · Limit orders and slippage: a missing condition added

Original wording: “Life of an Order” said a limit order won't punch through the book on its own and so carries no “pricier as it eats” slippage risk; “Binance Order Types Explained” said the price is fully under your control, with no slippage waiting to catch you.

After correction: both lines only hold for a limit order resting inside the spread. Price a limit past the best price on the other side and the crossing part fills immediately, level by level, though never at a worse price than your limit. We added that condition to both pages and linked them to the new article on fat-fingered limit prices. We found this while checking existing pages against the new one.

2026-09 · Registration guide: the referral code step was described in the wrong place

Original wording: in the six-step sign-up walkthrough of “From Sign-up to Your First Order”, step 3 told you to check a referral field on the sign-up form before continuing, and the pre-flight checklist repeated it as checking a prefilled referral field on the official sign-up page.

After correction: Binance's first sign-up screen only asks for an email or phone number and has no invite-code field, so step 3 now says the code isn't on the form. It appears only after the account has been created: arriving through a referral link it is prefilled and marked Bound, an invalid code can be changed, a missing one can be skipped, and once bound it can't be edited. Step 6 and the checklist were reworded to match. Basis: Binance's help page “How to Register on the Binance Website?” (Binance shows it as updated on 2025-11-24), and a check of the accounts.binance.com sign-up page in a browser on 2026-09-08.

2026-06 · Wording on where a feature lives updated

Original wording: when explaining how to view your trade history, the entry point was described as fixed at a particular spot in a particular menu.

After correction: reworded to say roughly which kind of page the feature sits under, with a reminder that Binance's interface gets redesigned, so the exact entry point is whatever you currently see on your Binance page — no longer pinned to one fixed spot. The reason: once the interface updates, a location stated as permanent can mislead newer readers.

2026-06 · Fee wording standardised to defer to the official page

Original wording: a few passages gave near-exact fee numbers that read as if they were fixed.

After correction: we standardised this to explain the mechanism instead — maker and taker fees differ, there's a BNB discount and a VIP-tier effect, and the actual figures are whatever Binance's fee page currently shows. Fees change with policy and with your tier, so printing a single number as if it were fixed isn't honest and goes stale easily.

2026-06 · Order-types explainer expanded to cover trigger vs limit price

Original wording: in the take-profit / stop-loss explainer, the "trigger price" and "limit price" concepts weren't distinguished clearly enough, making it easy to assume they were the same thing.

After correction: we added that the trigger price is the condition price that activates the order, while the limit price is the price actually placed once it's activated, and noted that a bad relationship between the two settings can leave the order unfilled. This one came from reader feedback; we filled in the explanation after confirming it.
