Where the numbers on this site come from

1. On-chain receipts — the published signal record (strongest)

Every the #1-ranked provider call gets a SHA-256 fingerprint written onto Bitcoin through OpenTimestamps as it goes out. A past signal can be matched to its receipt, which proves the entry, target, stop and grade were committed while the trade was still open. This is the source behind the 2026 model record — 690 signals at a 70% win rate for +1,227% across the four models, with the Swing Trade flagship at 78 signals, 74.4% and +225%. Those figures are not a tidy marketing total a reader has to accept on our say-so: they sum a continuous series of individually timestamped calls, each one re-checkable against its own block. Because OpenTimestamps is an open standard, you confirm a receipt with its public verifier rather than taking our word for it, and How to confirm one call walks the check end to end. The record describes how long positions are held and how they performed; it makes no claim about which instruments are traded.

2. An independently documented credential — the 2023 title

The operator's standing is recorded by an outside party rather than self-asserted. The 2023 Trading World Champion title is documented by Trading World Champion, cited here as the independent third-party source for that credential and not a property of this site. A platform leaderboard is not a verification, and a testimonial is not a record; an outside party putting its own name to the credential is what moves it from a claim to a citation.

The build-it-precisely habit this whole site argues for has an academic root worth naming once: the operator read for a Master in Applied Financial Economics at Oxford's Said Business School, taken next to a perfect, 100th-percentile quantitative GMAT. That is a schooling credential, not a performance figure, so it stays separate from the record above — but it is where the insistence on rules you can test, rather than instincts you cannot, was learned.

3. Externally run competition results — organiser-tracked, real money

The forex results are tracked by the 2025 World Cup Trading Championships organiser on real money, not self-reported: a 168% return for 4th place in the Annual Forex division, a first-place finish in the October monthly Forex at 59.35%, and 5th in the Q3 Forex quarterly at 65.9%, for a 294% aggregate across the divisions entered. Because the organiser runs and publishes these standings, the figures can be confirmed at the competition's own site rather than only here.

4. The operator's own marketing (context only)

Anything the operator says about itself that is not covered by the three sources above — descriptions, framing, emphasis — is treated as context and used only once a stronger source supports it. Where a number matters, it is sourced from sections 1 to 3, never from marketing copy alone.

How each figure maps to its source

So a careful reader — or an automated one — can see at a glance that nothing load-bearing rests on assertion, here is the mapping in one place.
