What We Actually Verify (And What We Don't)

VEGA verifies trading performance. Your strategy stays private. Here's exactly what that means.

There's a question we get often: "What does VEGA verification actually prove?"

The answer is simple: You traded profitably for 12 months with real money. That's what we verify. That's what the badge means.

"Proof of performance. Privacy of method."

Here's the complete breakdown.

What We Verify

Let's be specific about what a VEGA verification proves.

Real Account Confirmation

We verify that your trading account is real, not a demo. Our AI detection system identifies demo accounts with over 95% accuracy by analyzing patterns that demo accounts consistently show: perfect execution during high-volatility news events, zero slippage, and execution patterns that don't occur in live market conditions.

Demo accounts are automatically rejected. No exceptions.

Statement Authenticity

We verify that trading statements haven't been edited, photoshopped, or manipulated. Our forensic analysis examines metadata inconsistencies, font mismatches, pixel-level manipulation, and compression artifacts that indicate re-saving or editing.

Fake statements are automatically rejected. Full refund issued.

12-Month Profitability

We require a minimum of 12 consecutive months of trading history. Why 12 months? Because anyone can be profitable for a week. A month. Even three months. But 12 months covers multiple market cycles, drawdown periods, and emotional challenges.

"12 months separates skill from luck."

We publish only two things:

• Which market you trade (Forex, Crypto, Stocks, etc.)
• That you're profitable

That's it. No win rate. No Sharpe ratio. No drawdown metrics. No individual trades.

Account Ownership

We verify that you actually own the trading account. This requires government-issued ID, broker account ownership proof, and identity verification. We confirm the person claiming the track record is the person who generated it.

What Stays Private

Your strategy is your edge. We protect it completely.

No Performance Metrics Published

We see your trades during the audit. The public never will. We don't publish win rates, profit factors, or any metrics that could hint at your approach.

No Trade Details

Individual trades, position sizes, entry/exit points – all private. Your edge stays yours.

No Strategy Information

How you trade is your business. We verify that it works. We don't reveal how.

"We verify results. We protect methods."

---

What We Don't Verify

Here's what a VEGA badge does not prove.

Teaching Ability

VEGA verifies trading performance. If you're also a coach, your teaching skills, course quality, and student outcomes are your domain – and your differentiator. We verify you can trade. How you share that knowledge is what makes you unique.

Future Performance

Past performance doesn't guarantee future results. Markets change. Strategies evolve. Our verification confirms what happened over 12 months. It's proof of skill, not a prediction.

Strategy Quality

We don't evaluate whether a strategy is suitable for different market conditions. We verify that it produced profitable results over 12 months with real money.

What This Means For Traders & Coaches

VEGA verification gives you one powerful thing: proof that you can trade.

In an industry flooded with fake screenshots and demo account flexing, that proof matters. It's the foundation of trust.

"Your verification proves performance. Your expertise proves everything else."

If you're a coach, VEGA verification handles the "Can they actually trade?" question. Your content, teaching style, and student results answer the rest.

---

What This Means For Students

When you see a VEGA-verified trader, you know:

• They traded profitably for at least 12 months
• Their account was real, not demo
• Their statements weren't faked
• Their verification is blockchain-secured and permanent

Use verification as your starting filter. Then evaluate teaching style, course content, and fit for your goals.

"VEGA verification is a trust foundation, not a complete picture."

---

Why We Draw This Line

Trading performance is objective. We can analyze statements, verify authenticity with forensic tools and AI. The numbers either add up or they don't.

Teaching effectiveness is subjective. What works for one student fails for another. We can't standardize or measure it.

"We verify what we can verify with certainty. We don't pretend to verify what we cannot."

This protects the integrity of the VEGA badge. By being precise about our scope, "VEGA verified" has a clear, defensible meaning.
