Today we're introducing the Trust Scoring System—a comprehensive transparency framework designed to build confidence in our community leaderboard and help traders understand the credibility of performance data.
In a world where anyone can claim trading success, we believe authenticity matters. Our Trust Scoring System provides objective metrics that help distinguish genuine trading track records from potentially manipulated data.
Why Trust Scoring?
Trading platforms often struggle with data integrity. Users can delete losing trades, modify results, or selectively report only their best performance. This makes it nearly impossible to trust public leaderboards or learn from others' authentic experiences.
Our Trust Scoring System addresses this by tracking key transparency metrics and calculating a score from 0-100 that reflects the reliability of a trader's reported data. Higher scores indicate more trustworthy, consistent behavior patterns.
How Trust Scores Work
Every account starts with a base score of 50 points. From there, various factors can increase or decrease your trust score based on your account history and trading behavior.
Positive Factors
Actions and characteristics that increase your trust score:
- Account age 90+ days: +15 points
- Account age 30-89 days: +10 points
- 500+ trades uploaded: +15 points
- 100-499 trades uploaded: +10 points
- Active paid subscription: +10 points
- Founding Member status: +10 points
- Regular upload pattern: +5 points
Negative Factors
Behaviors that may reduce your trust score:
- Deletion rate over 50%: -30 points
- Deletion rate over 25%: -20 points
- Deletion rate over 10%: -10 points
- Recent bulk deletion (10+ in 24h): -15 points
- High modification rate (>25%): -5 to -10 points
The system recognizes that everyone occasionally needs to delete duplicate trades or fix data entry errors. Low deletion rates (under 5%) won't impact your score, and consistent, authentic behavior is rewarded over time.
Trust Levels
Based on your trust score and account characteristics, you'll be assigned one of five trust levels that appear on your profile and leaderboard entries:
| Level | Score | Description | | --------------- | --------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | Verified | 80+ | Highest trust level - long history of consistent, authentic data | | Trusted | 65-79 | Strong track record with minimal data manipulation indicators | | Established | 40-64 | Building history with acceptable transparency metrics | | New | 3-13 days | Recently joined - building track record | | Unverified | Less than 3 days or fewer than 5 trades | Insufficient history to assess |
Trust Badges
In addition to trust levels, traders can earn badges that highlight specific aspects of their trading profile:
Active paid subscription (Pro or Elite)
Original platform supporter with lifetime benefits
Less than 5% deletion rate with 20+ trades
500+ trades uploaded to the platform
Where You'll See Trust Scores
Trust information is displayed throughout the platform to help you understand data credibility:
- Leaderboard — Each entry shows trust badges, helping you identify the most credible performers
- User Profiles — A dedicated transparency card displays detailed trust metrics and account history
- Your Dashboard — View your own trust score and track what actions can improve it
Privacy & Transparency Balance
While we track these metrics for transparency, we respect your privacy. The detailed breakdown (exact deletion counts, modification history) is only visible to you. Other users see only your trust level and earned badges.
This means you can understand exactly how your score is calculated while others see a simple trust indicator without access to granular data.
Build Your Trust Score
Start uploading trades consistently and watch your trust level grow. The more authentic your track record, the higher your score climbs.
Building a Trustworthy Community
The Trust Scoring System is part of our broader commitment to building an authentic trading community. We believe that real growth comes from honest self-assessment and learning from genuine experiences—not inflated stats or cherry-picked results.
By making transparency visible, we help our community:
- Learn from traders with proven, credible track records
- Build confidence in leaderboard rankings
- Foster accountability and honest self-reporting
- Distinguish genuine performance from potential manipulation
