How We Verify Our News

FundedTruth aims to make every significant factual claim independently verifiable. We prioritize primary sources: official company and CEO announcements, regulatory filings, exchange notices, government documents, and court records. When our reporting is based on another publication’s work, we identify and link to the original report rather than presenting it as our own.

Every article we publish carries a “Sources & Evidence” box showing exactly what it’s built on and how confident we are in it. The rest of this page explains that source hierarchy.

Our Source Hierarchy

🟢 Tier 1 — Primary

Regulators and government agencies, court documents, exchange notices, official company and CEO announcements (including verified official social accounts), official terms/policy pages, corporate filings.

🔵 Tier 2 — High-quality independent

Reuters, Bloomberg, AP, Financial Times, and established specialist trading/finance publications.

🟣 Tier 3 — Secondary

Industry publications, on-record interviews, analyst research.

🟡 Tier 4 — Unverified / lead only

Reddit, Telegram, X/Twitter posts from non-official accounts, trader claims, anonymous reports. Social media is treated as a lead, not automatically as evidence. A Tier 4 claim only becomes reportable once it is corroborated by a higher tier — for example, a firm or its CEO directly and publicly responding to an allegation.

Note on scam allegations specifically: we do not report unverified scam allegations. We will cover a firm’s or CEO’s direct, public response to an allegation, with their statement treated as the primary source for that story.

I’ve been trading for over 5 years, mainly across Indian markets, futures, forex, crypto, and CFDs. Over the years, I’ve traded with a lot of different brokers and prop firms and spent a huge amount of time testing their rules, platforms, pricing, drawdown models, payout systems, and trading conditions.

I’ve been through plenty of failed prop firm challenges myself before eventually figuring out what works for me. That experience has given me a pretty practical understanding of what traders actually deal with when choosing a prop firm or trading platform.

Outside of trading, I work with financial content, SEO, and WordPress. I’ve built websites and tools around trading and finance, tested a wide range of trading tools, and even modified Pine Script indicators on TradingView as a hobby.

I write about prop firms, brokers, crypto platforms, and trading tools with a focus on the things that actually matter to traders, including rules, costs, payouts, and the overall trading experience.
