How the desk works

Public file principles

These rules apply to every FXVeritas public research page. They are not a ranking.

Research Confidence is not a safety rating.
Regulator verified does not mean a broker is safe.
Unknown does not mean unsafe. Unverified does not mean fraudulent. Unregulated does not automatically mean a scam.
Protection unknown does not mean no.
Commercial or affiliate relationships do not change research labels, verification status, Research Confidence, or editorial conclusions.
FXVeritas does not recommend a broker because data has been verified.

Checks, changes and publication

A source check records what was examined and when. It is not a publication date, proof of a material change, or a finding that an entity became safer.

A material update needs an exact subject, evidence of what was previously recorded and what is recorded now, source attribution, checked dates and an important limitation. Formatting edits, source-title edits and unchanged rechecks are not material updates.

Where paired historical evidence is unavailable, FXVeritas does not reconstruct it from a current record. UNKNOWN, explicit absence and conflicting evidence remain distinct. A source URL or content-hash change alone does not prove that the underlying fact changed.

Publication decisions must depend on reader value and evidence. Affiliate status, commission, discounts and commercial relationships must not determine a finding or publication priority.

Verification principles

Unknown is not treated as No
Unverified is not treated as false
Brand names are separated from legal entities
Licences are tracked at legal-entity level where the file supports it
Commercial relationships do not change research findings

Limits of the file

A recorded check date means that item was reviewed against sources then on file. It does not mean every field is continuously monitored in real time.

A verified licence is a register match for a named legal entity. It is not a finding that the broker is safe.

FXVeritas does not guarantee completeness or accuracy of every public record.

Prop firm rule guides

FTMO daily loss: count equity, then check midnight
The daily limit counts open losses and trading costs. A profitable day does not let you carry the same extra loss allowance past the reset.
FTMO: choose the rules before the account size
FTMO 1-Step has fewer evaluation phases; 2-Step gives a larger daily loss allowance and offers Swing. Neither route makes the displayed CFD balance withdrawable cash.
