1.Who we are and acceptance
The social network Social Network Trader is operated by Bussolo Gabriel (ditta individuale), registered under number P.IVA IT02788660203, with its registered office at Porto Mantovano (MN), Italy, contact contact@socialnetworktrader.com · +39 351 839 2772.
By creating an account, signing in or using the Network through the website or the Android and iOS apps, you accept these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Community Rules and the Risk Warning.
These Terms are available in Portuguese (Brazil), English (US and UK), Spanish, French, German, Italian and Albanian. If versions differ, the Portuguese version prevails, unless the law of your country requires otherwise.
2.Definitions
User: anyone with an account. Youth mode: an account for ages 13 to 17 linked to a parent or guardian. Connected account: an MT4 or MT5 account linked with the investor password, read-only.
Verified record: data read from the connected account. Manual record: data entered by the user. Locked analysis: an analysis that cannot be edited or deleted. Journal: customisable profile page. Verified creator: a user authorised to sell courses.
3.Who can use the Network
18 or older: full access, including MT4/MT5 connection, rankings and selling courses for verified creators.
13 to 17 (youth mode): the account is only activated after a parent or guardian authorises it and links it to their own. No broker connection, no personalised advertising, private profile by default, messages only from people the young person follows and no results rankings.
Children under 13 cannot create an account. The minimum age may be higher depending on the country, and the Network applies the most protective rule. Today, age is the date of birth given at sign-up, and teen mode is only activated after the guardian authorises it through the link sent to their e-mail. Giving a false age is prohibited and leads to the account being closed. When age verification by a partner is switched on, it will become mandatory, without storing photos of documents.
4.Account and security
Provide truthful information. Each person may have one personal account. Fake accounts or accounts impersonating someone else are prohibited.
You are responsible for your password and for what is done with your account. We recommend two-step verification.
The Network never asks for your password, your main broker password, verification codes or money. Any such request is a scam.
To protect the Network against bots, spam and abuse, there are limits on how many times certain actions can be done per period (for example posts, comments, messages, reports and started purchases) and an anti-bot check at login, sign-up and password recovery. When a limit is reached, the action is blocked for a while. The admin panel only works with two-step verification on. Videos posted to the feed are limited to 50 MB.
5.Development version (beta)
The Network is under development, from a trader for traders, made with AI by a human, for humans. Features may change, go offline or contain errors.
The final name will be chosen by the community. Until then, the Network uses the "?" symbol.
6.What the Network is, and what it is not
The Network is a social network for sharing analyses, results and learning about the financial markets. Using the Network is free and will always remain free: there is no paid plan to create an account, post, chat or join communities. Paid courses are sold by verified creators, and buying them is optional.
The Network is not a broker, bank, asset manager, advisory firm or research house. It does not execute orders, does not make investment recommendations and does not offer automatic copy trading.
The Network is not a broker, bank, payment institution or investment adviser: it does not hold or move users' money for trading, does not execute market orders and does not give investment recommendations. MT4/MT5 accounts are connected read-only, with the investor password. Trades always take place at the broker you chose, under its and your responsibility.
7.Risk warning
Trading in the financial markets, especially with leverage, involves a high risk of loss, including the loss of all your capital.
Past results, including those verified through MT4/MT5, do not guarantee future results. Trading decisions and their results belong to the person who trades.
8.Connected accounts and origin of records
The MT4/MT5 connection is optional and uses only the investor password, which cannot trade or move money.
MT4/MT5 records cannot be changed. They are shown as "Recorded by MT4/MT5" and cannot be edited or deleted by anyone. You can only add a note.
Manual records are shown as "Recorded manually", are not verified and can be edited by you. It is prohibited to enter false manual records or to use them to hide verified records.
Each user can have one MT4/MT5 account connected at a time and has up to 3 connection attempts every 6 months. After each read, the connection is switched off at the provider until the next update.
9.Locked analyses and TradingView
When you publish an analysis, the Network records the date, time and price. After that, the text, plan and image cannot be edited or deleted by the author, who can only add time-stamped updates.
The Network keeps a copy of the TradingView snapshot at the time of publication. The shared chart opens on TradingView. The Network is not affiliated with TradingView.
Trades on the same asset opened after publication may be linked to the analysis, which then shows whether it was confirmed or invalidated.
10.Profile, Journal and Calendar
You build your own Journal: you choose the blocks, their order, the bio, photo, cover and background colour. Customisation may not contain illegal or misleading content, promises of profit or imitation of brands.
Every profile has a Calendar tab showing the result and trades of each day, with the origin of each record. You decide whether it appears in your Journal and whether it is public.
You choose which of your results are shown. The cash balance is hidden by default.
In each trade sheet you can keep a TradingView snapshot, up to 3 images, thesis, execution and a linked analysis. The private review (emotions, mistakes, discipline, lessons) and the day review only appear to others if you allow it. The money amount only appears to others if you turn on "show amount".
MT4/MT5 connection: (1) Connecting an MT4 or MT5 account is for verified accounts only (any badge). Without a badge you can request verification; existing connections from accounts without a badge are switched off. (2) We use the investor password, which is read-only: nobody can open or close orders through us. (3) If you don't open the Network for 14 days, the connection is switched off, with a notice in the app and by email 3 days before. The days already logged stay in your journal, locked, and you just reconnect. (4) The account is only connected at MetaApi while we read it; between readings it is switched off, which is why a refresh you request can take up to 2 minutes. [review]
Deposits and withdrawals: when the MT4/MT5 account is connected, money going in and out of it (top-ups and withdrawals) is recorded on the day it happened. This is what makes the % result meaningful: a 2% gain on an account that has just received a top-up is not the same as 2% with no top-up at all. That figure does NOT count towards the % result, which still measures only what came from trading. By default it is hidden from people viewing your calendar; you choose to show it in Customise journal, with a switch separate from the money amount. On days logged by hand, you write the deposit or withdrawal yourself, if you want to.
MT4/MT5 account balance and currency: money amounts in the calendar show the currency symbol of your account (€, $, £…), which comes from the broker itself. You can also show the account's current balance, but that option starts off and we recommend keeping it off: the balance tells how much money you hold at the broker, and that attracts scams and requests. If you switch it on, you can switch it off any time. When you connect the account, the old history enters the Journal without notifying your followers trade by trade; they are only notified of trades closed after the connection.
Additional MT4/MT5 accounts: the first account is free for badge holders. Each extra account costs €5.98 per month, VAT included, charged by the Network itself through Stripe, which keeps the payment details. Results from all accounts are added up in the calendar and ranking (the day's % is the combined result divided by the combined balance), and all of them must be in the same currency as the main account. You can buy or release slots at any time: when buying, you pay the prorated difference right away; when releasing, the prorated amount becomes credit on the next invoice; when cancelling, the slots stay until the end of the period already paid. If a payment fails, you have 7 days to fix it; after that, the most recent extra accounts are disconnected. The main account is never disconnected for non-payment. Deposits and withdrawals read from the broker are highlighted in the calendar, for you and, if you switch that option on, for whoever views your calendar.
Money amounts in the calendar: a single option controls all the money others see. With it off, visitors to your calendar see no amounts, deposits, withdrawals or balance; with it on, you choose each one. On days with a deposit, the day's % is calculated on the opening balance plus the amount deposited.
Complimentary slots and billing inside the Network: the Network team may grant extra MT4/MT5 account slots at no cost (for example, to partners or as compensation) and may withdraw them; every grant and withdrawal is logged with the reason, and you are notified. Without the slot, extra accounts over the limit are disconnected, newest first; days already logged stay in the Journal. Cards, invoices and billing details for slots are managed inside the Network; the card is stored by Stripe, not by us.
11.Posts, messages and communities
You can follow and unfollow profiles. Following the official profile is optional.
The "Bullish" and "Bearish" reactions are opinions about the content, not buy or sell signals.
Direct messages follow each person's privacy settings and can be reported. Communities can have live chat with slow mode and other protections. Each user is responsible for what they post.
A community's name, description, category and images must follow these rules: they may not deal with politics, religion or sexual content; may not offend, discriminate or incite hatred (including racism); may not promise profits, sell signals or promote scams; and may not use third-party brands, names or images without permission. When choosing the "Other" category, the name you type follows the same rules. The Network may refuse, rename, hide or delete communities and categories that breach these Terms, and the responsible account may face the measures described in "What happens to those who break the rules".
You can block any profile except the official one. When you block someone, you stop seeing each other's posts, analyses, stories, comments, scraps, testimonials and live streams, you unfollow each other and you can't message or tag each other. In shared groups and communities, messages from people you have a block with appear collapsed. The other person isn't notified. Blocking only hides: nothing is deleted, including MT4/MT5 records.
Muting hides someone's posts and/or stories from your feed and stories bar, without unfollowing. The other person isn't notified. You can undo both in Settings › Blocked and muted.
Who edits a community: the owner edits the name, description, photo, cover, colour and whether the community is public or private, and can give that same permission to members they choose, one by one, and take it back at any time. The community address does not change, so links already shared keep working. Whoever edits answers for what they publish there, like anyone on the Network. Making a public community private does not delete what was already posted, but stops showing it to non-members.
Snapshots: a photo or video marked as a snapshot opens only once for each person; after that, the Network no longer serves the file. While it is open, the viewer's @ appears on top of it to discourage copying. When we can detect a screenshot attempt (capture shortcuts on a computer), the poster is told who tried. We cannot prevent or detect every capture — photographing the screen with another device, for example — so do not post as a snapshot anything you would not accept seeing copied.
Videos and Clips: every video posted outside communities appears in the Feed and also in one of two dedicated areas. Upright (vertical) videos of up to 5 minutes go to Clips; all others go to Videos. The split is automatic, based on the file's format and length. The same rules as for posts apply there: the author remains the owner of and responsible for the content, and people can follow the profile, give Trend up or Trend down, comment and report. Ads may appear before videos and between clips, always labelled as sponsored. [review]
12.Chat, groups, stories and account security
Group chats have 3 to 50 people. Whoever creates the group chooses the name (which follows the same rules as community names) and can add people; any member can leave at any time. Minors can only join groups created by people they follow.
Photos, videos, voice messages and posts sent in chat are the sender's responsibility and follow the Community Rules. Sending third-party content without permission, scams, paid signals or sexual material is prohibited.
Stories stay up for 24 hours. PiP uses both of the device's cameras in sequence and Boomerang records a short looping clip: only use them with people who agree to appear.
The "online" indicator shows when you have the website or app open. You can turn it off in Settings.
You are responsible for keeping your password secret. We recommend turning on two-step verification and checking your signed-in devices in Settings › Security. If you lose access to your authenticator app, recovery requires identity confirmation.
New chat messages (texts, photos, videos and voice messages) are end-to-end encrypted: only the people in the conversation can read them, not even the Network's team. To open your chats on another device, you create a 6-digit PIN.
The Network does not store your PIN and cannot recover it. If you forget it or enter it wrong 10 times, you can create a new one, but encrypted messages you already received can no longer be read. Messages sent before encryption stay as they were.
Stories: you can tag up to 10 people with @. Only tagged people can reshare, and a reshare always shows whose original story it is. Tagging someone to expose, harass or deceive them breaks these Terms.
The sender of a message sees when each person in the conversation read it and, for voice messages and videos, when they played it, with date and time. In groups, members see this information about their own messages.
People who receive photos, videos and voice messages can save them to their own device, and photos and videos can be sent in HD (original quality). Only send what you accept the other person may keep. The chat camera and the photo and video editor (crop, rotate, trim the video, remove sound, draw, text and stickers) work on your device and only send the result.
Encryption protects message content; the Network can still see who talks to whom, when, and the type of attachment.
Stories can have text, drawings and stickers (time, location, @ and trading). An Instant Story can be seen only once per person; capturing or sharing an Instant Story without permission is prohibited.
People tagged in a story get a notification and can reshare it as a card or full screen, always with "Reshared from @…". The author is notified of each reshare and can turn this off in Settings. If you were tagged against your will, you can report the story.
Story likes, reactions and who saw: (1) Anyone who views a story can like it once only, and the like cannot be undone; nobody likes their own story. (2) The number of likes is shown to everyone viewing the story, and the faces of up to 12 people who liked it animate on screen; who liked it, with name and @, is visible only to the story's author, along with who viewed and who reposted. (3) On posts, the number of likes (trend up) and of downs (trend down) is public: tapping the number lets any signed-in person see the list of who reacted, with the people you follow first. Anyone who blocked you, or whom you blocked, does not appear in those lists and does not see yours. (4) Posts also show how many times they were sent by message and reposted to stories. These are only numbers: the Network does not show who the post was sent to, because messages are end-to-end encrypted. (5) Analysis updates accept an attachment: a new TradingView snapshot, stored as a hashed copy, or an image of yours. Like every update, an attachment is only added and cannot be changed or deleted afterwards. [review]
In chat, the paperclip lets you send photos and videos, files (PDFs, spreadsheets and documents up to 25 MB), a trade from your journal (symbol, buy or sell, date, % result, prices and setup, with no money amounts), one of your posts or analyses, someone's profile, a course from the Network and, in groups, polls. Only send what you have the right to share.
Video ads, always marked "Sponsored" and chosen by the Network's sales team, may play in post videos (at the start and, in videos over 10 minutes, also every 5 minutes) and before each video lesson of free courses and of paid courses that chose the plan with ads (with the same rule for long lessons). Ads can be skipped after a few seconds. There are no ads in chat, stories, lives or paid courses on the plan without ads. The Network is not responsible for advertisers' products and services.
13.Lives (live streaming)
Who can go live: on a profile, only verified profiles; in a community, the owner and the members they allow. You must be 18 or older with an active account. Only signed-in members can watch; in a private community, only its members.
Each live lasts at most 2 hours and ends automatically. In communities you can also stream from OBS with a personal key, which must not be shared.
All Network rules apply: no profit promises, selling signals or account management, politics or religion, offending, discriminating, sexual, violent or illegal content, and no streaming of third-party content without permission or of people who haven't agreed to appear.
The streamer and community moderators can delete comments and end the live. The Network admin can end any live immediately and turn lives off temporarily. Breaches may lead to the measures in "What happens to people who break the rules".
Lives are not recorded by the Network. Viewers may not record or redistribute a live without the streamer's permission.
14.Courses
The course marketplace: courses are published in the Studio by verified creators, accredited analysts and profiles with the Influencer badge (free courses only); the Network's sales team can also publish. Other users see the catalogue and can enrol or buy. Every course goes through sales-team approval before it appears, and changes to published courses are reviewed too. The team can reject, suspend or take down courses that break these rules. A course that recommends assets requires the Analyst badge and is only for over-18s. Enrolled students can rate the course; anyone can report it. Lesson videos and materials belong to the author and may not be copied or redistributed.
Free courses can be distributed by holders of the Influencer, Verified creator or Accredited analyst badge. Only verified creators and accredited analysts (identity, tax details and, if assets are recommended, the accreditation required in the country) can sell courses.
Courses are educational. Selling signals, account management, copy trading or promises of profit is prohibited.
Paid courses are sold by the creator, who is the seller and is paid through their own Stripe account. The Network charges a 10% commission on each sale, withheld at payment; Stripe's fee comes out of the creator's share. Prices range from €5 to €2,000, in euros, and are shown before purchase. Payment is made in Stripe's secure form, opened inside the site. Students can request a refund in Settings › My purchases or on the course page within 14 days (European Union, EEA and United Kingdom) or 7 days (other countries) of payment; the full amount is returned, the Network's commission is refunded too, and course access ends. The creator can refund a sale at any time from the sales dashboard. If the student disputes the payment with their bank (chargeback), access is suspended until the decision. Student and creator are notified of every purchase, refund, dispute and lesson unlock. [review] Paid course with ads: the creator may choose to let a Network ad play before each video lesson; in that case the Network's fee is 5% instead of 10%. The choice applies to future sales, and each purchase keeps the fee charged at that time.
To sell, creators need the Verified creator or Licensed analyst badge, two-step verification and a connected Stripe account; ID, tax and bank details are provided directly to Stripe. Creators are responsible for the taxes and obligations of their own sales. A course that has been sold can't become free again, and buyers keep their access. [review]
Course reviews: only enrolled students can review, once per course. Anyone can report a review. Whoever edits the course can pin one review to the top or ask to remove a review that breaks the rules (offensive, spam, fake, personal data or off-topic); it stays hidden until the sales team decides to delete or restore it. Reviews may not be removed just because the rating is low. The creator is notified of each new review, and the author is notified if their review is deleted.
Lessons unlocked after the refund period: in a paid course, the creator can mark lessons to open only when each student's refund period ends. At least 30% of lessons (counted by number of lessons, preview lessons included) are available right after purchase, and the course page shows before payment how many lessons open immediately and when the rest open. The remaining lessons open automatically on that date, at no extra cost, and the student is notified. The creator, the team and anyone enrolled without a purchase don't wait. [review]
Affiliate program: creators can allow verified Network accounts (any badge) to promote a paid course with a personal link, choosing a commission of 2% to 10% of the price. The commission comes out of the creator's share; the student pays the same price and the Network's commission stays at 10%. Last referral wins: if the student buys within 30 days of opening the link, the sale belongs to that link's affiliate. Buying through your own link or referring your own course doesn't count. The commission stays pending until the student's refund period ends and is then transferred by Stripe to the affiliate's own Stripe account. To promote, affiliates must register a Stripe account in their own name on the Referrals page, enabled for payouts; without it, the personal link isn't shown and doesn't create referrals. If the account stops being able to receive, commissions already earned are kept until it's back. If there is a refund or dispute before payout, the commission is cancelled; once paid, it is final. Creators can block an affiliate at any time, with no effect on commissions already paid. Promoting with spam, misleading ads, profit promises or by impersonating the creator is forbidden; the Network may cancel commissions earned that way and end participation. Affiliates are responsible for taxes on what they receive. [review]
Price changes and previous price: (1) On a course not yet published, the creator sets the price freely, and it is reviewed together with the course. (2) On a published course, a new price requested in the Studio becomes a proposal: the course stays on sale at the previous price, and the creator can cancel the proposal until it is decided. (3) The Network's sales team reviews the request (for example, consistency with the content and with announced promotions) and approves or declines it, giving the reason when declining. The creator is notified of the decision in the app and by email. (4) Once approved, the new price applies immediately to new purchases, including payment through Stripe, because the amount is sent to Stripe with each purchase. Existing buyers neither pay a difference nor get a refund because of the change. (5) For 30 days after each change, the course page and the catalogue show the previous price. For a price reduction, in any promotion (Black Friday, New Year, Carnival or any other date), the previous price shown is always the course's lowest price in the 30 days before the reduction, as required by European Union law (Directive 98/6/EC, art. 6a; in Italy, Legislative Decree 26/2023); if there was no higher price in that period, no discount is announced. For an increase, the price that applied before and the percentage increase are shown. (6) Raising the price only to advertise a fake discount, inventing a previous price or advertising misleading promotions outside the Network is forbidden; the Network may decline price requests, remove promotions and apply the measures in these Terms. [review]
Refunds by the creator, partial refunds and disputes: (1) The creator can return the full amount or only part of it to the student at any time from the sales dashboard. (2) A full refund ends access to the course. A partial refund does not: the student keeps access, and the refunded amount appears on the course page, in Settings › My purchases and in the creator's sales report. (3) The Network's commission when the creator refunds: within the student's refund period (14 days in the European Union, EEA and United Kingdom; 7 days elsewhere), the 10% commission is returned to the creator in the same proportion as the refunded amount; after that period, the Network keeps its 10%. When the student requests the refund within the period, the commission is returned in full. Stripe's fee follows Stripe's rules. (4) Affiliate commission: on a partial refund, a commission not yet paid is recalculated on the amount the creator kept; on a full refund, it is cancelled. A commission already paid is final. (5) Bank dispute (chargeback): access is suspended until the decision. If the bank rules for the creator, the purchase is valid again, the student regains access and an affiliate commission cancelled because of the dispute is pending again. If it rules for the student, the bank returns the money, access stays closed, and the amount plus Stripe's dispute fee come out of the creator's balance. (6) Student, creator and, where applicable, affiliate are notified in the app and by email in each of these cases. (7) Purchase confirmation (payment, enrolment and notices) is recorded in a single operation: either everything happens or nothing does and Stripe tries again. If the same person pays twice for the same course, the second purchase is refunded automatically, including the commission. [review]
Refunds by the team: within the legal withdrawal period, the Network's sales team may refund a course purchase at the student's request; after that period, only the Network's administration may refund, at its own discretion and case by case. Every refund removes course access, notifies the student and the creator, and is logged with who did it and why.
Creator Partnership Program: users aged 18 or over, with an active account and a complete profile, can apply to create sponsored content in campaigns that advertisers book with the Network. The Network reviews each application (engagement, views, niche, quality, audience and activity, not just followers), decides who joins, sets each creator's level and may suspend participation if the rules are broken. Advertisers do not choose or negotiate directly with creators.
In the program, all paid content must be labelled as sponsored, must not promise profits and may only be published after the team approves it. Use of the content by the Network and the advertiser is limited to the authorised campaign and the period it sets; reuse in other campaigns or in paid ads requires a new authorisation from the creator.
Program earnings: 60% of the campaign's eligible net budget (excluding VAT, refunds, chargebacks and external costs) is split among the participating creators according to the share the team sets for each; 40% stays with the Network. Earnings are held in a wallet; the minimum payout is €100, paid within 14 business days of approval to the creator's Stripe account. Each campaign's terms (deadlines, format, time live and licence) are shown before the creator accepts.
Payout accounts managed by the Network (accounts opened or completed from 13/11/2026): the creator's Stripe account is opened by Stripe in the creator's name, but the onboarding (identity, tax and bank details) happens entirely inside the Network, and the Network is responsible to Stripe for it. By completing onboarding, the creator accepts the Stripe Connected Account Agreement (https://stripe.com/connect-account/legal/full), which includes the Stripe Services Agreement, and manages sales, balance, payouts and documents in the Network's sales dashboard (not on Stripe's website). For these accounts, Stripe's processing fees are paid by the Network, covered by its commission, and are not taken from the creator's share. Chargeback amounts are still taken from the creator's balance; if the balance is not enough, the Network covers the difference with Stripe and may deduct it from the creator's following sales. Accounts completed before that date keep the previous rules. [review]
Review of every course: no course goes live without approval by the team, and team members do not approve their own courses. After publication, any change (course details, modules or lessons) takes the course out of the catalogue until the team approves the change: during that time nobody new can enrol or buy, and people already enrolled keep their access. Price changes follow their own approval rule. [review]
15.Prohibited conduct
Scams and fraud; promising profits; asking for money, passwords or account access; selling signals without a licence; faking results; fake accounts; manipulating reactions, votes or rankings; harassment and discrimination; sexual, violent or illegal content; spam; bypassing age verification or attacking the systems.
To keep the Network focused on trading and safe for everyone, it is also prohibited to: (a) post about or discuss religion and politics, in posts, comments, messages, chats, communities or courses; (b) offend, humiliate, threaten or harass another user; (c) any racist content or content that discriminates by race, colour, ethnicity, origin, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age, including "jokes", symbols and nicknames.
Such content is removed and may lead to suspension or a ban, as described in "What happens to those who break the rules". Discrimination and threats may also be reported to the authorities. [review: scope of the ban on politics and religion]
16.What happens to those who break the rules
Depending on severity: content removal, feature restrictions, suspension or a permanent ban.
Scams, fraud and possible crimes are reported to the authorities, and the Network cooperates with investigations within the law. Banned users may not create another account.
17.Reports, decisions and appeals
Anyone can report. The identity of the person reporting is not revealed.
When the Network removes or restricts something, it gives the reason. The user may appeal within [DEADLINE] days.
You can report posts, analyses, comments, stories, chat messages, profiles and courses from each one's menu. Reasons: scam or fraud, promise of profit, insult or harassment, racism or discrimination, politics or religion, third-party content, spam and others; for profiles, also fake profile or impersonation, selling signals, underage and offensive name or photo. Details are optional.
Reports go to the Network's moderators. Each post, comment or story has one open report at a time; further reports on the same content count as already received. Each person can have one open report per profile. A reported story is kept until the decision, even after it expires.
Chat messages are encrypted and the Network cannot read them. When you report a message, your device sends up to 20 messages from that conversation, ending with the reported one, unencrypted to the moderators. Only those messages are seen, and only by the moderators.
Possible decisions: dismiss the report, keep the content, remove it, warn, suspend or ban the account, as described in "What happens to those who break the rules". The reporter is notified when the report is reviewed, without details about the other person.
False reports, repeated reports without reason or reports used to harass someone also break these Terms.
Sales team and who handles your case: price requests, courses to review, course reports and disputes arrive in a queue the whole sales team can see. When someone on the team takes your case, it becomes that person's responsibility until it is resolved or returned to the queue, and you are told who is handling it. Every decision is recorded under the name of whoever made it. Joining and leaving the sales team is the administrators' decision, and whoever joins or leaves is notified.
18.Official profile, AI translation and the name vote
The official "?" profile shows the number of registered users in real time, in aggregate form.
Automatic AI translation is not active yet. When it is switched on, translations will always be labelled, may contain errors and will let you see the original.
Voting for or suggesting names does not give any payment or rights over the name. Badges have no monetary value. Suggestions sent may be used freely by the Network.
19.Intellectual property
Your content remains yours. By posting, you grant the Network a free, non-exclusive licence to display, translate and distribute that content within the Network.
The brand, the "?" logo and the software belong to Bussolo Gabriel (ditta individuale).
When you reshare a story you were tagged in, you use another person's content with the permission given by the tag, only within the Network and while the story is live. The author remains the owner of the content.
20.Privacy and your data
Data is handled under the Privacy Policy, in line with the LGPD, the GDPR and applicable laws. In Settings you can download, correct or delete your data. Minors' data has reinforced protection.
21.Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Network is not liable for trading losses, decisions based on user content, third-party fraud or failures of brokers, MetaTrader, TradingView or payment providers.

25.Contact
contact@socialnetworktrader.com · Data Protection Officer (DPO): Gabriel Bussolo, contact@socialnetworktrader.com.
Support inside the Network: in Help › Contact the team you open a request (payment, course, MT4/MT5 account, account or other) and talk with the team inside the site, with a notification for each reply. You may have up to 5 open requests at a time.
26.Annex I · Verified profile
The badge confirms that the account belongs to the person it claims to be and, for the Verified trader, that the history comes from a real connected account. The badge is not an endorsement by the Network and does not guarantee results.
Types: Verified trader (identity + MT4/MT5 connected for 90 days and 50 recorded trades); Influencer for free courses (identity + complete profile); Verified creator to sell courses (identity + tax and bank details); Licensed analyst (professional registration, such as CNPI).
General requirements: 18 or older, authentic and single account, public and complete profile, activity in the last 30 days, two-step verification and no serious sanction in 6 months.
Identity is confirmed through the document sent with the request, reviewed only by administrators. When checks by a partner (document and live selfie) are switched on, the Network will only receive the result and the legal name.
Each request is reviewed by an administrator, who approves, rejects or asks for more information within [DEADLINE] business days. Rejections state the reason and can be resubmitted after 30 days.
Badge holders may not sell the badge or hand over the account, must disclose paid partnerships and follow the rules more strictly. Changing the @ requires a new review. Badges are reviewed once a year.
The badge may be removed for false information, scams, promising profits, selling signals, selling the account or serious violations. Verification is free: any offer of a paid badge is a scam.
More than one badge: badges add up. If you already have a badge and earn another, the old one stays valid and so do its rights (selling courses, recommending assets, connecting MT4/MT5). Your profile shows one badge at a time, and you choose which one, in Settings › Verified profile. Badges you already have cannot be requested again. Losing one badge for breaking a rule does not remove the others, unless the decision says so.
The Verified Trader badge comes with any other badge: anyone who is a Creator, Influencer or Analyst is already a Verified Trader, so that badge is not offered to request. Anyone with no badge yet can request the Verified Trader badge.
