For retail traders

Trade with the lights on, not on trust.

Most retail traders do not lose to a bad strategy. They lose to a bad broker, an entry taken too early, or a position that was too big. verify.trading puts a check in front of each one.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Still stuck? Contact us.

What should a beginner do before opening a broker account?
Confirm the exact legal entity is authorised on the regulator's own register, check the warning list, and read the terms for the entity that will hold your funds. A verify.trading check does the first two in one step.
Are the free calculators enough to manage risk?
They cover position size, risk to reward, pip value and margin, which is the maths of risk on a single trade. They do not replace a plan for total drawdown or a stop-trading rule.
Does verify.trading give trade signals?
No. It gives records, market context and risk maths. Signals and recommendations are outside what we do.
What does Pro add for a part-time trader?
A morning brief, the seven-day economic calendar, a journal that pulls in broker trades, and the Mind assessment, plus a higher daily Ask allowance.
How do I spot a scam broker?
Warning signs include no verifiable licence number, pressure to deposit quickly, promised returns, unsolicited contact, and withdrawal problems. Our guide on broker checks walks through the steps.
