I have a good way to help ya to determine if it's good traffic if you're unsure about the proxy part of it is to look at the "link tracking" of the trade to see which links are the top clicked links for that trade. I don't know about everyone else, but for me, there's usually a couple of links that are ALWAYS right on top of all of my trades. If you see that the top links clicked on for that trade are links that are outta the way or way down at the bottom of your page, then you could pretty much bet that the site is hitbotting you.

Some people might argue that point saying that it depends on the niche of traffic that you're getting sent into your site, but for the most part, you'll be able to tell if it's real, by the links that the the script is showing are clicked on.
