For me - signal rating should be determined ONLY by the amount of real Equity in the signal account.
The only basis is the signal provider's trust in his own signal. The provider who knows his signal best is also well aware of whether it makes sense to risk large amounts or not. Correspondingly, no other value will show you the provider's own feelings. And it is precisely these feelings that you should be guided by when setting your rating.
Too often the signal provider's goal is "to pay off a sucker". One does not have to go far - topics "I am looking for an investor for a guaranteed income" appear on the forum with enviable regularity. However, their authors do not want to risk even their $100, for more - is out of the question. What, really can't they earn this wretched hundred? Yes they can! They just know that their signal with the "guaranteed profitability" is not really worth a penny, and can fail at any time. A signal Provider who has on deposit at least $10K of its real amount - is already worth attention.
All demo signals must have a zero rating.
Moreover, the monthly payment for the signal does not exceed 1% of Equity.
But a sucker is not a mammoth, he will not become extinct... So the signalists can not worry.
It would be possible to find a formula if all the indicators (total number of products/signals, number of customers/subscribers) were known.
the goal is to.
without going into the availability of any data now - to justify and write out a formula for calculating the rating of signals.
It should be adaptive, tamper-proof, fair, etc. That is, it should show the actual ranking of the trade
Replace the word 'fair' with 'custom'.
"The truth is always the same.
Pharaoh said so."
We should just leave the balance...down with Equity!
