- Identify unusual risk patterns, excessive exposure, gambling behavior, and attempts to circumvent account or allocation limits.

- Conduct interviews with traders when required as part of risk investigations, assessing their trading knowledge, strategy, account activity, and the consistency between their explanations and actual trading behavior.

- Make evidence-based recommendations regarding payout approvals/rejections, account restrictions, additional verification, warnings, or account termination.
