How we calculate the score

The score (0–100) is computed by an algorithm with the same yardstick for everyone. No human hand touches it, not even ours. It comes from verifiable facts, not opinions.

EAs — 7 axes (100 points)

• Verifiable track record (18) — is there a real account, or only a backtest?
• Signal integrity (17) — resets after blowing up, parallel signals, deposits that mask the drawdown.
• Advertising honesty (18) — does what it promises match what it does? (e.g. says "no martingale" but it's a grid).
• Seller history (17) — deleted products, churn, tenure.
• Review integrity (13) — bought reviews, deleted ones, mass 5★, gap between platforms.
• Strategy risk (12) — grid, martingale, no stop loss.
• Longevity and sample (7) — time live and number of real trades.

Brokers — 7 axes (100 points)

• Regulation (22) · Withdrawals/payments (20) · Fund safety (15) · Real execution (15) · Transparency (10) · Reputation (10) · Costs (8)

Analysis confidence

Beyond the score, we show how much of it is backed by sources we could verify. If data is missing, we say so — we never pretend to know what we didn't check.

The ground rules

• Every red flag cites its source. No source, no flag.
• Without verified data we don't punish, but we don't reward either.
• Right of reply: the seller/broker can provide verified data and the score goes up on its own.
