How we track the groups

To make this list a group needs at least 5 closed trades in the period and a tracking grade of Mixed or better. Every group is tracked under the same rules:

• Every trade is a fixed 0.03 lots, whatever the group's own size.
• The position is closed in 3 parts across the group's first 3 take profits.
• The stop moves to break-even once the first take profit is hit.
• A signal posted without a stop loss is not taken.
• An entry zone is split into 3 orders across the zone.
• An order that has not filled within 30 minutes is cancelled.
• No trailing stop is used.
• No new trades from 30 minutes before to 30 minutes after high-impact news.
• The group's own later instructions to close early or move the stop are not followed.
• Returns are shown as a percentage of a 1,000 reference account.

These rules suit some groups better than others. A group trading its own way, or you trading it with your own settings, would get different results.
