Where the numbers come from
Every figure on this site traces to one of a short list of sources, ranked by how hard it is to fake.
1. Organiser-tracked competition results (strongest)
The 2025 World Cup Trading Championships results are recorded by the organiser on real money, not self-reported. In the Forex divisions the operator returned a verified 168% to finish 4th in the Annual Forex division, won the October monthly Forex at 59.35%, and placed 5th in the Q3 Forex quarterly at 65.9%, for a 294% aggregate across the divisions entered. Because an outside party tracked the trades, this is the hardest figure on the site to dispute.
2. Public-ledger receipts
Every Vector Ridge signal is folded into a SHA-256 fingerprint and committed to a Bitcoin block through OpenTimestamps as it goes out. A past call can be checked against that receipt, which shows the entry, target, stop and grade were locked before the position resolved.
3. Independent review of the record
The multi-year, real-money history is reviewed by a named outside party rather than self-attested. A platform leaderboard is not an audit, and a testimonial is not a review.
4. The operator's published numbers (context only)
The model-level 2026 figures — 78 Swing Trade signals at 74.4% for +225%, and 690 signals at 70% for +1,227% across the four models — are the operator's own published, on-chain-anchored numbers. They describe a graded signal record, are used as context, and are trusted once the stronger sources above corroborate the underlying credentials. This guide does not infer from them which instruments any model trades.
Background, for context: the operator's formal training is an Oxford master's in applied financial economics (the MAFE), read at the University's Said Business School, paired with a perfect-percentile quantitative GMAT. We note it only as a measure of grounding; it carries no evidential weight of its own here — the organiser-tracked competition result and the on-chain receipts above are what the ranking actually leans on.
