Reading the stats

Every number on a signal page is computed by the platform from the raw trade history of the trader’s connected account. Here is what each one actually means — and what it doesn’t.

Max DD

Maximum drawdown: the deepest peak-to-trough fall in the account’s equity, as a percentage of the peak. This is the number that decides survival. A signal with 80% return and 60% max DD has already demonstrated it can lose more than half the account — the return tells you what happened on the way up, the drawdown tells you what you would have lived through. Tier criteria cap it at 50% for VERIFIED and PRO.

Profit factor

Gross wins divided by gross losses. Above 1.0 the strategy makes money; below 1.0 it loses money regardless of how impressive individual trades look. A profit factor of 1.05 over many trades is a thin edge that fees and slippage can erase; treat values barely above 1.0 with caution.

Win rate

The percentage of closed trades that were profitable. On its own it is close to meaningless: a 90% win rate with small wins and rare huge losses is a classic martingale signature, and a 35% win rate can be very profitable if winners are large. Always read win rate together with profit factor and max DD, never alone.

History

How long the signal has been tracked, and how many trades it has closed. Short histories are dominated by luck. The tier ladder encodes this: NEW requires at least 2 weeks and 20 trades, VERIFIED at least 6 weeks and 50 trades, PRO at least 16 weeks and 150 trades. More history means the other statistics mean more.

Loss cap

A percentage of your account equity at which copying from that signal halts — set before copying starts, on by default (10%), and editable per subscription. When cumulative P&L from the signal reaches your cap, copying from that signal halts and you are notified — open copied positions remain open for you to manage. Only the separate global drawdown guard closes positions. A trip is recorded as a risk event.

Escrow

Where your subscription payment sits. 100% of what you pay is held in escrow for the billing period and released at period end + 7 days, split 90% to the trader and 10% to the platform. If the trader is blocked mid-period, you receive a pro-rata refund of the undelivered remainder.
