Curious how this community thinks about trust/verification problems in general not just in my space (forex), but anywhere someone claims a track record (traders, freelancers, agencies, etc.).
I've been building in the forex space, where the standard "proof" is literally a screenshot of a trading account easy to fake, easy to cherry-pick, no way to independently verify. It made me think about how many other industries still run on unverifiable claims by default, and how few platforms actually build verification into the product rather than bolting it on as an afterthought (or not doing it at all).
I'm a solo founder building TraceForex, a platform that verifies forex account managers' track records by syncing performance data directly from their MT5 accounts no self-reporting, no screenshots.
I got into this after seeing how much of the forex "signal provider" space runs on unverifiable claims, and wanted to build something that actually holds managers accountable to real, broker-synced data.
I've been building TraceForex a platform where forex account managers connect their real MT5 account, and their performance (win rate, drawdown, profit factor, equity curve) syncs directly from the broker instead of being self-reported.
The problem I kept seeing: managers sharing screenshots as "proof" of their track record, with zero way for an investor to verify any of it. So I built a verification layer around real, broker-synced data instead.
