The method
One number out of 100, from four measures worth 25 each. Every input is a figure already printed on the product's own page — the score introduces no new data, only arithmetic over data you can check.
Length and volume of the published record
Measured against 0 at the floor, 24 months at full; 0 at the floor, 500 trades at full
A ratio computed from a fortnight is a rumour, whatever its value. Length and volume are averaged, because either alone is gameable — a scalper can post 500 trades in a fortnight, and a position trader can hold four for two years.
Worst drawdown
Measured against 0–100% below the running peak
The deepest hole the account sat in is the loss a buyer would have had to sit through without switching it off. Less is better, so this quarter is scored on the remainder of the band.
Profit factor
Measured against 1.0 at the centre, 3.0 at the rim
Gross winnings divided by gross losses. Below 1.0 the account lost money, which is why the band starts there rather than at zero.
Recovery factor
Measured against 0 at the centre, 10× at the rim
Profit earned per unit of worst drawdown — what a strategy kept, rather than what it reached. Return on its own would put every martingale at the top of the list, which is the mistake this site exists to correct.
The bands are the same ones the radar chart and the metric tiles on each product page are drawn against, declared in one table and never re-fitted to the catalogue. A product's score cannot change because its neighbours did.
A high-severity risk flag — grid or basket positions, martingale sizing, trading without a stop loss — costs 12 points. A medium flag costs 4. These are penalties, not disqualifications: a grid strategy that has genuinely survived two years still scores, it simply does not get to look identical to one that never needed the technique.
A record shorter than 1 month or thinner than30 trades gets the same arithmetic and a different label:provisional. The number is printed, because it is the number, but it is printed grey rather than purple, it carries the shortfall beside it wherever it appears, and it sorts below every settled score however high it is.
This is the part that matters most. A flawless-looking ratio drawn from seven trades would otherwise print in the same typeface as one drawn from two years, and nothing about the number would tell you which you are reading. Every other directory scores everything alike; this one scores everything and refuses to let the two look the same. A provisional score settles on its own the day the record crosses the floor — nothing about the arithmetic changes, only the label.
It is not a judgement on the product. It is a statement about how much is known about it, which at that point is very little. A product with no published record at all is not scored — there is nothing to run the arithmetic on — and is listed below with the reason.
The whole catalogue, with each quarter shown separately. Nothing is held back — a method you cannot check on the products it ranks is a badge, not a measurement. 7 scores are provisional, and marked so.
