What approval actually checks
Only the second step proves anything
1 · History read
We log in with the investor password and read 90 days of deal history, then compare the derived return, drawdown and trade count against what the provider claimed.
Proves the password works and the claim is roughly real. It does not prove they control the account — an investor password can be handed out.
2 · Handshake trade
We ask for 0.01 lots opened and closed within ten minutes on that account and watch the deal history for it.
This is the step that proves control. Skipped entirely for private products, where the owner is subscribing their own accounts and there is nobody to deceive.

The derived figures are not close to the claim. A drawdown three times what was stated is not a rounding difference — it is a different product from the one described, and the description is what a subscriber pays on.
