Educational content only
Everything published on The Gold Mechanic is for educational and informational purposes only. It explains how markets and macroeconomic data work. It is not advice about what to do with your money.
Nothing on this site constitutes financial advice, investment advice, a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument, or an offer or solicitation of any kind.
Not a registered adviser
Reid Calloway is not a registered financial adviser, broker, or investment professional, and holds no licence to provide financial advice in any jurisdiction. No content here should be interpreted as a personal recommendation.
Nothing on this site creates an adviser–client relationship. If you need advice about your own circumstances, consult a professional who is authorised to give it in your jurisdiction.
Risk warning
Trading and investing carry risk, and you can lose money. Leveraged instruments — including CFDs, spot gold, and futures — carry a heightened risk of losing money rapidly, and losses can exceed the amount initially deposited.
Past performance does not indicate future results. Historical relationships between variables can and do break down.
No forecasts
This site does not publish price targets, forecasts, entry or exit levels, or directional calls. Where future scenarios are discussed, they are conditional reasoning exercises about mechanisms — not predictions, and not tradeable guidance.
Accuracy
Every figure published here is checked against its primary source and the source is linked, so you can verify it yourself. Even so, errors happen. Data is also revised after publication, and published figures can change.
Always verify against the primary source before acting on any number, from this site or any other. Corrections are logged at Corrections.
Third-party links
This site links to third-party sources, including government and central bank data. I don’t control those sites and am not responsible for their content or availability.
Your responsibility
You are solely responsible for your own financial decisions. By using this site you accept that neither Reid Calloway nor The Gold Mechanic is liable for any loss arising from the use of, or reliance on, anything published here.
