Black Hawk’s Methodology

At BlockHawk, our mission is clear: protect global investors from fraudulent brokers, deceptive platforms, and financial scams. We combine data-driven analysis, community reporting, and expert investigation to uncover the truth behind every broker we review.

Section 2: How We Evaluate Brokers and Platforms

We follow a transparent, multi-layered methodology to ensure accuracy and fairness:

 

  • License Verification: We check each broker’s registration status with global regulatory bodies (e.g., FCA, SEC, ASIC).
  • Ownership & Background Checks: We investigate company history, leadership, and operational transparency.
  • Platform Performance: We test user experience, trading conditions, and security features.
  • Complaint Analysis: We track user complaints, reviews, and fraud reports across multiple channels.
  • Risk Scoring Algorithm: Our proprietary scoring system assigns a risk rating based on compliance, reputation, and performance metrics.

Section 3: Data Sources We Rely On

We gather information from:

 

  • Regulatory databases
  • Public financial records
  • Verified user reports
  • Independent security audits

Section 4: Risk Scoring System

Each broker/platform is assigned a BlockHawk Risk Rating (0–100) based on factors such as:

 

  • Regulatory Status (30%)
