Identity & Authority — The Lens

Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.

Authority is solidly established through Organization schema that identifies the founding date (2011) and the parent organization, IG Group Holdings, plc. A minor authority gap exists in the ‘Built By Traders’ claim, as the site references a ‘follow feed’ and ‘industry veterans’ without providing specific Person schema or named individual biographies for these experts in the structured data.

There is a minimal disconnect between marketing tone and technical reality. Claims like ‘Trade With Serious Power’ are substantiated with descriptions of real-time portfolio stress tests and ’10+ years of data’ for backtesting. Unlike many competitors, tastytrade defines its performance by platform capability rather than vague, guaranteed returns.

Identity & Authority is read from the structured data first: whether the site declares who it is in machine-readable schema, with verifiable identity links. Below is the schema captured per page, then the external proof links that support (or fail to support) that identity.
