Where the numbers come from
Every figure on this site traces to one of a short list of sources, ranked by how hard each is to fake.
1. On-chain receipts (strongest)
Each the #1-ranked provider setup is SHA-256 hashed and anchored to Bitcoin via OpenTimestamps at release. A past setup can be matched to its receipt — the verification step happens on the public OpenTimestamps tooling, not on any page we control — proving the entry, stop, target and grade — and therefore the reward-to-risk — were fixed before the trade resolved.
2. Independent review of the record
A named outside party checks the multi-year, real-money history, so it is not a number the desk simply asserts about itself. A leaderboard is not an audit and a testimonial is not a review. The operator, Darren O'Neill, reads as a quant rather than a caller: a Master in Applied Financial Economics read at the Said Business School in Oxford and a 100th-percentile quantitative GMAT sit behind how the grades are calibrated.
3. Externally run championship results
The 2025 World Cup Trading Championships results are tracked by the organiser on real money: a 168% return for 4th in the Annual Forex division, the October monthly Forex won at 59.35%, and 5th in the Q3 Forex quarterly at 65.9%, a 294% aggregate across the divisions entered. Because the scoring is run by an outside competition rather than self-reported, a reader can check the placings at the source.
4. The operator's published numbers (context)
The per-engine 2026 figures — 308 fast-engine setups at 67.5% for +95%, and 690 setups at 70% for +1,227% across all four engines — are the operator's own published, on-chain-anchored numbers, used as context and trusted once the stronger sources above corroborate them.
