Forex Tool Data
Measured, not asserted

Trading tools, judged by what the data says.

Every Expert Advisor and indicator here is read from its own record — the equity curve, the drawdown, the month it lost money, the trade that cost more than ten wins. Nothing is scored by a model and nothing is repeated from a sales page.

The catalogue

Ranked by what they kept

Ordered by the Kept Score — four measured quarters out of 100, weighted towards what a strategy kept rather than what it reached. A tool that doubled an account and nearly lost it is not better than one that grew steadily, and a record too thin to judge is scored provisionally and listed last. Gain is per month, which is the only form in which two records of different lengths can be read against each other.

The comparison that changes its mind

AI Aurum Pivot grew 154.2%, and Cortex IDX grew 84.6% — so the second looks far ahead. It ran for 0× as long. Compounded to a monthly rate, the order reverses.

The difference

What we check that a sales page will not tell you

Each of these is read out of the record and shown with the measurement behind it. A badge without its working is just our opinion.

Martingale sizing

Position size stepping up after a loss, again and again. It produces a beautifully smooth curve right up until the sequence runs longer than the account can fund.

Grid and basket exposure

Many positions held on one symbol at once. The real risk is the whole ladder moving together, not any single trade in it.

Missing or widening stops

Read off the stop-loss column where there is one, inferred from the shape of the losses where there is not.

Small wins, large losses

The "90% accuracy" profile. A win rate that high is usually a consequence of taking profit early and holding losses late, not evidence of an edge.

Short track records

A strategy needs to meet a market it dislikes before its drawdown figure means much. Six good months is a start.

Gaps in the record

Long silences inside an otherwise active history — the strategy standing aside, or the account not running.

Method

How the numbers are produced

There is no model here and no weighting. Each figure is arithmetic on a record we hold.

  1. 01

    A record goes in

    A trade-by-trade history, or the account totals a seller publishes on their live signal. Kept alongside the product so any figure can be traced back to it.

  2. 02

    The account is rebuilt

    Balance accumulated trade by trade, giving the equity curve, the depth and duration of every drawdown, and the result of each calendar month — including the flat ones.

  3. 03

    The record is checked for risk

    Sizing, exposure, stop placement, and the ratio between what a win pays and what a loss costs. Each check reports the measurement it was decided on.

  4. 04

    What cannot be measured stays blank

    A return percentage needs an opening balance. Where a seller did not publish one, the page says so rather than printing a number we made up.

Plain English

Every number, explained

The figures on a product page, and why each one is worth looking at.

Profit factor
Everything won divided by everything lost. Below 1 the strategy loses money; the further above 1, the more room it has to be wrong.
Payoff ratio
The average win divided by the average loss. A high win rate with a low payoff means rare losses undo many wins — the shape most likely to look excellent until it does not.
Max drawdown
The deepest fall from a previous high, and how long it lasted. The number that decides whether a trader can actually hold the position through it.
Recovery factor
Net profit divided by that worst fall. It answers what the account was paid for the worst moment it went through.
Expectancy
What one average trade is worth, wins and losses together. Multiply by trade frequency to get what the strategy is actually doing.
Sharpe ratio
Return measured against how much it bounced around getting there. Useful for comparing two strategies with similar returns and different tempers.

Questions

What people ask

Where do the numbers come from?

Either a trade-by-trade history file, or the aggregate statistics a seller publishes on their live signal page. Each product page names which one it used and links to the source so you can check it.

Do you score or rate products?

No. There is no scoring model, no weighting and no rating we invented. Every figure is arithmetic on the underlying data. Where a number cannot be computed honestly — a return percentage with no opening balance, for instance — the page leaves it blank rather than estimating it.

What are risk flags?

Patterns read out of the data rather than taken from the description: position sizes that step up after a loss, baskets of positions held on one symbol, trades placed without a stop, and win rates bought with rare large losses. Each flag opens to show the measurements behind it.

Why does one product have a chart and another does not?

Charting an equity curve needs a trade-by-trade history. Many sellers publish account totals but not the individual trades, and building a curve from totals would mean inventing the path between them. Those products get charts of the published figures instead.

Do you sell these products?

No. We hold no stock, take no payment and ship no software. Product pages link out to whoever sells them, and we may earn a commission on those links.

Does a good record mean a product will keep working?

No, and nothing on this site should be read that way. A track record describes markets that have already happened. Its main use is spotting the strategies whose risk is structured so that one bad stretch ends the account.

Start with the record, not the pitch.

Every product page opens with what the account actually did, and says where that came from.
