Fraud detection and compliance monitoring in Propriotec

Risk Management Overview

The Risk Management section is your fraud detection centre. It monitors for suspicious activity that automated rules might not catch — copy trading, hedging schemes, account sharing, and more.

Risk Management — all detection tabs

There's no automatic alert system. You need to check this page manually. Make it part of your daily routine.

Why This Matters

Prop firms are targets for fraud. Common schemes include:

  • Copy trading rings — groups sharing signals to guarantee some accounts pass
  • Hedging schemes — opposite positions across accounts for risk-free profit
  • Account sharing — one skilled trader running multiple accounts
  • Identity fraud — fake identities to create multiple accounts

Risk Management helps you catch these before you pay out.

Detection Tabs

Each tab monitors a different type of suspicious activity:

Quick Overview of Each

Daily Monitoring Routine

There's no alert system, so build this into your daily workflow:

Priority Checks (Daily)

  1. Duplicate IPs — Quick scan for new high-count IPs
  2. Copy Trading — Check for new flagged account pairs
  3. Hedging — Look for cross-account opposite positions

Secondary Checks (2-3x per week)

  1. No Stop Loss — Review accounts with risky behaviour
  2. News Trading — Only if your plans restrict it
  3. Weekend Trading — Only if your plans restrict it

Investigation Workflow

When you spot something suspicious:

Don't Act Immediately

Flags aren't automatic guilt. Investigate first.

Use the Compare Tool

For copy trading or hedging suspicions:

  • Enter both account logins in the Compare Tool
  • Click "Copy Trade" to highlight matching trades
  • Click "Hedge Trade" to highlight opposite positions

Compare Tool — two accounts with highlighted matches

Document Your Findings

Before taking action:

  • Note which accounts are involved
  • Screenshot the evidence
  • Record your reasoning

Take Action

If you confirm fraud:

  1. Go to Account View for each involved account
  2. Use Manual Events → Rule Violation
  3. Provide a clear reason (the trader will see this)
