Signal quality and provider analytics

Measure a provider before you fund it: hit rate, expectancy, drawdown contribution and parse reliability.

Where to look

  • Signal Quality — per-channel scoring, parse success rate and rejection reasons.
  • Source Analytics — realised performance grouped by the channel that produced it.
  • Performance — the whole account, all sources combined.

What the numbers mean

MetricRead it as
Hit rateShare of closed trades that ended positive. Meaningless without the average win/loss beside it.
ExpectancyAverage result per trade. Negative expectancy with a 70% hit rate is common and fatal.
Max drawdownThe worst peak-to-trough this source put your account through.
Parse rateShare of messages that produced a usable signal. A low rate means format problems, not bad trading.
RejectedSignals blocked by the completeness gate or your filters, with the reason.

Evaluating a new provider

  1. 1

    Run it in test mode for a week

    No orders, full parse logs. You learn the format problems for free.

  2. 2

    Then demo for a month

    Real sizing, real slippage, no money at risk.

  3. 3

    Compare expectancy, not hit rate

    Ask whether the average win covers the average loss.

  4. 4

    Go live small

    Cut risk per trade to a quarter of your normal size for the first weeks.

Thirty trades is not a sample. Providers regularly show a great first month and give it all back in the second.
