Dazzling charts promising massive returns? 📉 Don't just look at the green lines.
A responsible evaluation of any trading automation platform starts with concrete questions about fund custody and API permissions, long before you look at potential returns.
• Fund Custody: The platform must clearly state who holds your funds, ideally naming an exchange or broker account you directly control.
• API Permissions: Always look for 'trade-only' access with absolutely no withdrawal or transfer permissions. 🛡️
• Risk Management: Check for verifiable controls like stop-loss, position-size, and drawdown limits operating on real accounts.
Also, never trust a page showing only gains. When reviewing performance data, demand labeled data that explicitly separates live trading results from backtested simulations. 🧠
A strong evaluation requires understanding the platform's methodology—it needs a readable explanation of entry, exit, and risk management, not just jargon. Critically, when the platform encounters an issue, the safest behavior is to pause or prompt for review, not continue silently.
We compiled a detailed walkthrough covering every one of these checkpoints so you know exactly what to look for. 💡
