The promise most signal sellers break
The dirty secret of the signals industry is selective memory: winners screenshotted to the timeline, losers quietly deleted. A "90% win rate" is easy to advertise when you get to choose which trades count.
We built the opposite. Every call the system sends is now tracked, in public, against the exact entry, stop and targets that went out — and graded whether it wins or loses. You can see it live on the calls board; this column is the weekly write-up of what that board has been doing.
What "graded" actually means
Every call is measured in R — multiples of the risk it took. R is the distance from entry to stop, so a trade that makes one and a half times that distance is +1.5R; a trade that hits its stop is -1.0R. Measuring in R is what lets a 30-pip gold trade and a 150-pip cable trade sit honestly in the same column.
The grading is deliberately pessimistic. If a single bar trades through both the stop and a target, we count it as the stop. We use the exact published levels, and we never look ahead. The point of an honest scoreboard is that it should, if anything, understate the record — not flatter it.
The board grades itself from the same price feed the system trades on, updating each scan. No human curates which calls appear. The losers show up exactly as loudly as the winners.
This week's open book
As of 22 June 2026, six calls are open and none has yet closed. These are multi-day swing trades — they need room and time, so an unrealised number this early is a status, not a scorecard.
| Pair | Direction | Entry | Status (unrealised) |
|---|---|---|---|
| EUR/USD | Sell | 1.14756 | In profit · ~+48 pips |
| USD/CHF | Buy | 0.80611 | In profit · ~+32 pips |
| USD/CAD | Buy | 1.41657 | Flat |
| XAU/USD | Sell | 4156.63 | In the red · ~-25 pts |
| GBP/USD | Sell | 1.32015 | In the red · ~-40 pips |
| AUD/USD | Buy | 0.70164 | In the red · ~-16 pips |
Two green, one flat, three in the red. That spread is normal for fresh swing entries; trades are given to a target or a stop, not closed on a hunch because they are briefly underwater. Notice the theme running through the book — short the assets a fading geopolitical fear premium is deflating, long the firmer dollar — which is the energy-shock regime playing out across the board.
An unrealised figure is a snapshot, not a verdict. A trade is only a win or a loss when it closes at its stop or a target. Anyone quoting "open profit" as performance is counting chickens.
Why there is no win rate here — yet
You will not see a win rate or an expectancy figure in this column until at least 20 trades have closed. With a handful of results, any percentage is noise: a single outcome can swing it ten points. Quoting a win rate off five trades is precisely how the industry misleads — and refusing to is how we won't. When we do publish a number, it will carry its confidence interval, so you can see how much to trust it.
What next week looks like
As calls close, they move from the open book to the record — wins and losses, in R, kept permanently. Over enough of them, the only number that actually matters surfaces: expectancy, the average R per trade. Until the sample is real, the honest report is this: the open book, the method, and a standing refusal to dress either one up.
