How to Compare Recorded Trading Signal Performance
Compare closed signals, average results, win rates and free versus paid evidence without confusing signal statistics with account returns.
What does verified evidence establish?
A verified signal record has passed the platform's source verification workflow. It does not establish an audited account return, execution at the quoted price or profitability after fees. Open the original public message when a source link is available.
Closed signals and win rate
Use closed outcomes for outcome-based comparisons. Open signals are not completed wins or losses. A win rate needs its denominator and the treatment of flat, partial and excluded outcomes. If the source does not disclose these details, the percentage alone is insufficient evidence.
Average and total recorded result
The displayed aggregate total is derived from the source average result multiplied by its closed-signal count. This is an arithmetic signal summary, not a compounded portfolio return. For a hypothetical sample of +10%, -5% and +2%, the sum is +7% and the mean is approximately +2.33%. These illustrate arithmetic; they are not TraderStat performance claims.
Keep units and access types separate
Do not add forex pips to crypto percentages. Compare similar units and periods. Free and paid evidence is separated because samples and access conditions differ. Missing results must not be counted as zero-return trades.
What the detail sample can tell you
Profile detail tables can show a bounded recent sample while headline statistics come from a broader source aggregate. A short sample does not prove a long-term track record. Inspect sample size, source links, dates and missing records before drawing conclusions.
