Why screenshots are incomplete#
Screenshots can crop context, omit timestamps, hide losing examples, or show platform-specific prices that were not available to everyone. They are evidence to question, not proof to follow.
What to check first#
Check the date, pair, timeframe, price source, full trade history, losing examples, spread and slippage assumptions, account size, and whether the page pressures users toward a broker or paid channel.
What not to infer#
Do not infer future performance, entry levels, exit levels, position size, leverage, broker choice, or a buy/sell instruction from a Forex result screenshot.
Key principles#
Cropped context
A cropped result may hide timing, open risk, losing rows, or execution assumptions.
Price differences
Forex prices can differ by venue, bid/ask handling, update timing, and rounding.
Educational limit
MarketPulse explains how to read risk context; it does not validate screenshots or tell readers what to trade.
