We tested our own score. It does not predict the market.
Published: October 25, 2026Most trading tools show you a perfect track record. We did the opposite: we tested the Total Score, the 1–100 reading that stacks our Pro Tools, on years of real market history, with fees and without peeking at the future. Here is what we found, including the parts that do not sell.
The short answer
When the Total Score leaned up or down, the market went that way about half the time, the same as a coin flip. A plan that simply followed the score lost money after fees. So we do not call it a prediction, a signal or "backtested", and we never will unless a new test on fresh data says otherwise.
What we tested
- 11 crypto markets (Binance data): BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE, AVAX, DOT, LINK and LTC. Forex and metals were not part of this test because we did not have enough clean history for it at the time.
- Two timeframes: 1 hour (7,238 samples, Jan 2025 – Oct 2026) and 4 hours (2,926 samples, Aug 2024 – Oct 2026). Samples do not overlap.
- Walk-forward: at every point the score saw only the candles that had already closed, exactly like on a live chart.
- Costs: 0.10% fee per side. If a candle touched both the stop and the target, we counted the stop first (the pessimistic case).
- Nothing was tuned to make the result look better: the weights are the ones the product uses.
The numbers
| Measure | 1H | 4H |
|---|---|---|
| Direction right, all readings | 49.4% | 49.0% |
| Coin flip (no skill) | ≈50% | ≈50% |
| Direction right, strong lean (≥70 or ≤30) | 47.7% | 38.9% |
| Following the plan, after fees, all readings | −0.24R | −0.12R |
| Following the plan, after fees, strong lean | −0.13R | −0.08R |
R is the risk of one trade: −0.24R means losing about a quarter of the risked amount per trade on average. Very strong readings (80+ or 20 and below) were too rare to judge: only 15 cases on 1H.
We also checked the tools one by one. Order Blocks (53%) and automatic Elliott Waves (52%) looked slightly better than chance, so we tested them again on data they had never seen (2021 – 2024). The small edge disappeared: after fees, both lost money in every part of that period. One or two good-looking results out of many tries is what luck alone produces.
So what is the Total Score for?
- A fast map, not a forecast. It shows in one number what ten tools see on the chart right now, each tool's share visible, so you stop flipping between twelve indicators.
- A plan you can check. Entry, stop and targets are drawn on the chart, so you see the risk before you decide, and every decision stays yours.
- The edge is in your process. That is why we built the Trainer: replay real history without seeing the future (tested: the tools only ever see candles up to the replay cursor), plan every trade in R and get a Discipline Score for how you trade, not how lucky you were.
Our promise. We will not show a "track record", win rates or profit screenshots for our tools. When we change the score, we test it again on data it has never seen and publish the result here, good or bad.
