On a public trading account page, what should a member see before they trust it?

FTC has added a public account page for trading accounts that members link through the read-only connector. The page shows the account's status, the figures it reports, the balance over time, the open positions, the closed trades and the deposits. The figures are the account's own reported numbers, and FTC does not verify them. That is the first thing a reader should check before they trust a statement.

The question for this thread is what a reader needs to see before they treat an account page as a fair record. The open questions are whether the status should show when the account was last synced, whether closed trades should be counted separately from open ones, and how an account's history should be shown when it has been paused or reconnected. Those choices change how much a reader can rely on the page.

We would like to hear your view:

• Which figures must be on a public account page before you trust it?
• Should the last sync time and the connection status be shown more clearly?
• How should a paused or reconnected account be shown in its history?
• What would make you doubt a page, even when every figure adds up?

Please share your own view and reasoning. Posts that promise a direction or sell signals will be removed.
