#3 Social Trading: Viewing Shared Levels & the Verified Badge

Once you follow a trader and they’ve approved you, their pinned chart levels become available to view in Cockpit. This article covers where to find them and what the verified badge does and doesn’t mean.

## Viewing a trader’s levels in Cockpit

1. Open **Cockpit** and go to the **Levels** tab.

2. Under **Social Levels**, use the **”— Show levels of… —”** dropdown to pick a trader you follow (the same dropdown is also available next to the Levels checkbox in Indicator Settings).

3. Their levels appear in the list, and on the chart itself as a distinct dotted line style, with an `[S]`/`[R]` tag wherever they marked a level as Support or Resistance.

Only traders you follow **and** who have approved that follow will appear in this dropdown — a pending request isn’t enough. Shared levels refresh automatically roughly every 5 minutes, and access is checked in real time: if you unfollow someone, or they reject/remove the follow, their levels disappear immediately.

Use the checkbox next to any level (yours or a followed trader’s) to temporarily show or hide just that one line on the chart — this doesn’t delete or unpin anything, and resets when you reload the page. A “Show all” checkbox toggles everything in the list at once.

## The verified badge

A small blue checkmark next to a trader’s `@handle` — on their profile, in follow requests, your network, and Discover Traders — indicates AiTraderView has verified that trader.

This badge is granted manually and is not based on follower count, so it can’t be gamed by simply gaining more followers. Exactly what qualifies someone for it (for example, being a trusted or paying trader) is decided by AiTraderView.

## A note on shared levels and the verified badge

Levels shared by another trader — verified or not — reflect that person’s own view of the chart. They are not reviewed, fact-checked, or endorsed by AiTraderView, and the verified badge is not a guarantee of the accuracy of someone’s analysis or a recommendation to follow their levels. Treat any shared level the same way you’d treat an opinion from another trader: useful context, not instructions to act on.
