How reviews work

Some behaviours can't be detected reliably in real time. A single position that increases size after a loss looks identical to a normal trade — it's only a martingale sequence when you see what came before it. So assessment happens at payout, or when a trader requests a manual review.

What the Trader Area does and doesn't do

It does: track your objectives, daily loss limit and maximum loss limit, and stop you when you hit them.

It doesn't: assess trade sequences, risk changes over time, floating drawdown patterns, trade duration, or activity across your other accounts.

A completed profit target, all-green metrics and an available payout date do not confirm payout approval.

What the Dealing Team reviews

At payout, the review may cover:

Individual trades and complete trade sequences
Risk changes across a sequence
Floating drawdown at the moment each position opened
Trade duration
Activity across your related accounts

What evidence is used

Account number and program type
Symbol and trade direction
Platform ticket number and server-side position ID
Entry and close times, and trade duration
Lot size or risk changes across a sequence
Floating profit or loss when another position was opened
Stop-loss placement and furthest stop-loss distance
Closed P&L, equity movement and daily loss exposure
Activity on your other Traderscale accounts where relevant

Why ticket and position IDs look different

A platform ticket may be linked to a server-side position ID. Support or the Dealing Team may reference either identifier when discussing the same trade or sequence. If support quotes a number you don't recognise, this is usually why — it isn't a different trade.

Who decides

Traderscale uses a professional third-party Dealing Team to review trading activity at payout. Support can explain rules, collect information and submit eligible cases, but the final decision sits with the Dealing Team. The review looks at your trading history as a whole — a single trade is never assessed in isolation.
