Do I have to submit my capstone to FxRobotEasy?

No. The form persists in your browser's localStorage by default — your work stays on your device. Submission via copy-to-clipboard or Telegram is optional. We treat it as a community-feedback channel, not a graduation gate.

What counts as a valid 'real offer' to investigate?

Any forex / crypto / signals / mentor / fund / managed-account offer you've seen advertised in the last 30 days — Telegram VIP signals, Instagram guru, YouTube broker promo, X crypto fund pitch, AdSense banner. The point is to apply the protocol on something currently in your social feed, not on an abstract example.

What if the offer turns out to be legitimate?

Excellent — that's a valid capstone outcome. The protocol grades LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH; a LOW grade means the firm passes verification. The skill being tested is the protocol itself, not the result. Both outcomes (caught a scam / cleared a real firm) are equally valuable submissions.

Can I save my progress and come back later?

Yes. Every field, flag, and stage you complete saves to your browser's localStorage as you go. Close the tab and re-open this URL whenever — you'll pick up exactly where you left off.

Will the certificate hash be verifiable?

Not yet. The current hash is a deterministic FNV-1a fingerprint of your submission text — useful as proof of authorship to yourself or to us, but not yet verifiable via a public URL. Phase 9 of the edu-overhaul roadmap adds the /cert/ verification flow with a public registry.

Brief

You've completed Scam Check Lessons 1-6. The toolkit from Lesson 6 turns the curriculum into reproducible action — but only if you exercise it once on a real example. This capstone is that exercise.

Your task: pick one forex / crypto / signals / mentor / fund offer you've seen advertised in the last 30 days. Apply the 5-stage protocol from Lesson 4. Fill in the form below as you go. The form auto-computes your final risk grade and issues a certificate hash on completion.

Submission via copy-to-clipboard or Telegram is optional — your data stays on this device by default. We treat submissions as community-wall input, not as a graduation gate.

Capstone scoring + certificate notes

How the LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH grade is computedPro

The form counts every ticked red flag across all five stages. Stages 1 (Identity) and 2 (Regulatory) carry hard-stop weight — any flag there overrides everything else and forces HIGH. Otherwise: 0 flags = LOW, 1-2 flags in stages 3-5 = MEDIUM, 3+ flags = HIGH. The logic mirrors the risk-grading table in Lesson 4.

The certificate hash — what it is and isn'tPro

The hash is a deterministic FNV-1a 32-bit fingerprint of your submission text. Two runs producing identical answers produce identical hashes; any change to a field or flag changes the hash. It is not cryptographically signed, not anchored on-chain, and not yet verifiable via a public URL. Phase 9 of the edu-overhaul roadmap adds a /cert/<hash> verification flow with public registry; until then the hash is useful as a personal authenticity marker — paste it alongside your screenshot for your own log.

Why submission is optionalPro

The toolkit's defensive value depends on you running it for yourself, not on submitting to us. We ask for submissions because (a) anonymised case-studies feed the community wall and (b) recurring scam-firm names across submissions help us flag patterns earlier. But the moment we make submission mandatory, we've built a custody-style dependency the toolkit explicitly tells you to avoid.

Bibliography (for the capstone-curious)

Submission etiquette

When you do submit, redact any personal data (your own name, addresses, account numbers). The lesson is the protocol's output, not your identity. We will not feature any submission that contains personally identifiable information.

After the capstone

You graduate Scam Check with the toolkit in place + one real-world exercise documented. The default next step is Forex Basics (foundations: pairs, MT5, orders, risk management, your first demo trade). If you already have the basics, jump straight to Automated Trading.

Recall card — review in 1 week

Recall the capstone grading rule + the hard-stop rule + submission default.

Show answer

(1) Grading: any red flag in Stage 1 (Identity) or Stage 2 (Regulatory) = HIGH (hard stop); otherwise 0 flags = LOW, 1-2 = MEDIUM (demo only), 3+ = HIGH. (2) Hard-stop rule: walk away from the offer immediately, even if the rest of the protocol comes back clean. (3) Submission default: data stays in localStorage on your device. Submission via copy / Telegram is OPTIONAL — we never make it mandatory because that would build a custody-style dependency the toolkit explicitly tells you to avoid.
