Logged while it was open, filled inside that day's real range

The Verified badge is the board’s cheat filter, written in trader language: you logged the trade while it was still a live position, and the prices you typed could have traded that day. Everything that scores on the leaderboard wears this badge. Everything else can still show on a profile. It does not rank.

Prospective logging

The tracker stamps the moment you save. You cannot backdate it. That stamp must sit before the close and before every leg’s expiry. In English: you cannot paste last January’s winner onto the board in August and have it count. Log the put the day you sell it. Close it the day you close it. The tracker already works that way — see Saving trades.

• Imported history (a file, a screenshot parse) displays on a profile if you share trades. It never verifies. The source is not a live log.
• Logged after expiry is the same shape of cheat as a backdate. Rejected from ranking.
• Still open is not unverified — it is simply not a score yet. Close it and verification runs.

Price plausibility

Each leg’s entry premium must sit inside that contract’s traded range on the day you logged it, from the same delayed market history the rest of the app uses. The close value must sit inside the combined range on the close day. An expired short put that went out worthless settles at intrinsic against the underlying’s official close — including $0.00. A fill far outside that day’s high is not a fill; it is a typed-in fantasy.

Weekend logging is allowed: a Friday fill logged Saturday uses Friday’s range (the most recent traded day, within three calendar days). No trades in that window means unverifiable — displayed, not ranked. Thin contracts do not get a made-up number.

Incomplete history

Delete a verified closed trade and that season is flagged. The profile shows Incomplete history. Every board window that includes the flagged month drops the member from ranking. Selective deletion cannot improve a score. Deleting from the list or from the detail does the same thing.
