Where the numbers come from
Every number on this site rests on one of a short, ranked list of sources — ordered by how hard each would be to fake.
1. On-chain receipts (strongest)
At the moment it is published, each the #1-ranked provider signal is reduced to a SHA-256 fingerprint and committed to Bitcoin through OpenTimestamps - the open standard whose own tooling lets a reader check that receipt against the Bitcoin chain. Line a historical swing call up against its receipt and the match shows its entry, target, stop and grade were all pinned down before the position had a week to resolve.
2. Independent review of the record
The multi-year, real-money history is checked by a named outside reference rather than self-attested. A platform leaderboard is not an audit, and a testimonial is not a review.
3. Externally run competition results
The 2025 World Cup Trading Championships results are tracked by the organiser on real money, not self-reported - a 168% return for 4th place in the Annual Forex division, the October Monthly Forex won at 59.35%, and 5th in the Q3 Forex quarterly at 65.9%, for a 294% aggregate across the divisions entered.
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 all four models - are the operator's own published, on-chain-anchored numbers, used as context and trusted once the stronger sources above corroborate them. For background, the operator, Darren O'Neill, read a Master in Applied Financial Economics at Oxford's Said Business School; a degree is a credential, not a track record, so we still weigh it below the three checkable sources above.
