Scoring model
Each firm receives a score from 0 to 10, computed identically from verifiable inputs: published prices, published rules and Trustpilot rating.
Structure
Each firm receives a score from 0 to 10, computed identically from verifiable inputs: published prices, published rules and Trustpilot rating.
Trustpilot: 40%
The most direct public signal of payout reliability, hence the largest weight. If a firm has no rating, the remaining three inputs are used and the review says so.
Profit split: 20%
Linear: 70% scores 0, 100% scores the maximum.
Price: 20%
Input: lowest $100,000 challenge with a split of 80% or more, pay-after-pass excluded. $200 or less scores the maximum; $650 or more scores 0.
Trading freedom: 20%
Seven styles: news trading, weekend holding, expert advisors, hedging, scalping, copy trading, martingale. Allowed = 1, restricted = 0.5, banned = 0.
Excluded from the model
