He is a real trader with a real record. Copying his published signals still loses money. Both of those are true, and everything below is about the gap between them.
The figure above left is how the platform scores him: +$566 a signal, winning 80% of the time, +$139,227 across the year. The figure on the right is what a follower banked copying the same signals and exiting by a fixed rule — +$12 a signal, +$3,272 over the year.
Both are honest arithmetic on the same 274 trades. The difference is not luck and not a rounding error, and the rest of this page is about where it goes.
Yearly totals assume you keep risking the same amount every time and never scale up, so they are simple sums rather than compounded returns.
His 246 gold signals of 2026, in the order he published them, with running profit for three ways of trading them. Touch or hover to read any point.
| Line | Where it finishes |
|---|---|
| His own trading | $0 |
| You: one leg, closed with him | $0 |
| You: signal only, no close | $0 |
The top line is his own trading. The middle line is you, holding one position and closing when he closes. The bottom line is you copying the signal with no close event: it drifts sideways all year and finishes near where it started, after some frightening dips.
Each signal carries a direction and an entry price, a stop 50 to 110 pips away, and five targets. The first target is close, often 20 to 40 pips. The fifth can be 900 pips away. What it does not carry is any instruction about when to get out.
Most followers split the position into five legs and take a fifth off at each target, all five sharing one stop. That is what “five-leg ladder” means throughout this page.
Three real signals from 2026, re-priced against independent gold data.
Entry 4476.0 · stop 4469.0 (70 pips of risk)
His targets, in pips: TP1 +40 · TP2 +110 · TP3 +410 · TP4 +710 · TP5 +1240
After entry, price ran +105 pips in favour and -164 against.
He took +105 pips, exactly the best price the trade ever offered, and price then fell 164 pips. Taking everything at his first target made +$140. The five-leg ladder banked one fifth and watched the other four ride down to the stop, for -$175. The platform records this as a win.
Entry 4654.82 · stop 4645.0 (98 pips of risk)
His targets, in pips: TP1 +32 · TP2 +62 · TP3 +102 · TP4 +452 · TP5 +3352
After entry, price ran +3390 pips in favour and -62 against.
Gold ran 3,390 pips. He closed by hand at +370 pips for +$942; the ladder held a fifth to the fifth target and made +$2,035. The honest other side: when a move keeps going, a mechanical ladder can beat a manual close. It happened on 32 of 274 signals.
Entry 4995.77 · stop 4985.0 (108 pips of risk)
His targets, in pips: TP1 +22 · TP2 +52 · TP3 +92 · TP4 +292 · TP5 +892
After entry, price ran +18 pips in favour and -119 against.
Price never got more than 18 pips above entry before running 119 the other way. He lost -$250, you lose -$240. Losses are the one thing a signal copies faithfully.
Where each of his 274 signals actually went, and what the five-leg ladder booked.
| What the trade did | Signals | Share | Your ladder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stopped before the first target | 73 | 27% | $0 |
| First target, then reversed | 70 | 26% | $0 |
| Second target, then reversed | 44 | 16% | $0 |
| Third target, then reversed | 30 | 11% | $0 |
| Fourth target, then reversed | 25 | 9% | $0 |
| Ran to the fifth target | 32 | 12% | $0 |
Half his signals reach the first target or less. That target is small, so banking a fifth there is worth almost nothing while the other four fifths ride to the stop.
His stop size tells you which one you are looking at, and it is the single filter on this page that changes the answer.
| His stop | Signals | He wins | His result | Your ladder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under 50 pips | 9 | 56% | $0 | $0 |
| 50 to 79 pips | 85 | 73% | $0 | $0 |
| 80 pips and wider | 180 | 84% | $0 | $0 |
The wide-stop trades are his real business: 84% of them win for him, 78% reach the first target, and they are the only group a mechanical follower makes money on. The tight-stop trades are fast scalps he manages by hand within minutes.
Worth saying plainly, because everything here is critical of copying him and none of it is an accusation. Every closed signal was re-priced against independent gold data.
| Check | Result |
|---|---|
| Wins claiming more than price ever offered | 20 of 176 |
| Losses that never really hit the stop | 0 of 39 |
| His claim, capped at prices that genuinely traded | 98% supported |
| Share of the best available price he captures | 96% |
That last line is the finding. On a typical winning trade he gets out within a few percent of the very best price the market offered. That is a skill, not a system, and it is exactly the part a signal cannot carry.
Assume the platform detects his manual close and your account closes with it. The same signals that paid +$93 a signal on the published feed alone pay +$321 a signal held as one position and closed with him.
The close event is worth about +$227 a signal. That is the whole business, and it is why the entry on its own measures nothing.
The usual advice is to bank something early and let the rest run. On his signals that is the wrong instinct.
| Split | Average per signal |
|---|---|
| Nothing at TP1 (one trade) | $0 |
| 25% at TP1 | $0 |
| Half at TP1 | $0 |
| His five-leg ladder | $0 |
| All out at TP1 | $0 |
| How you split it | Per signal | Win rate | Total 2026 | Worst drop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nothing at the first target — one trade | $0 | 50% | $0 | $0 |
| 25% at the first target | $0 | 50% | $0 | $0 |
| 33% at the first target | $0 | 50% | $0 | $0 |
| Half at the first target | $0 | 50% | $0 | $0 |
| 75% at the first target | $0 | 54% | $0 | $0 |
| All out at the first target | $0 | 74% | $0 | $0 |
| His five-leg ladder | $0 | 54% | $0 | $0 |
One trade. Nothing at the first target.
Hold the whole position and close when he closes: +$321 a signal. Taking half off instead pays +$154 — you give up +$167 a signal and +$40,990 across the year, to improve the worst drop by $130.
Worth understanding, because banking profit early is good advice on most strategies. It fails on his for a specific reason.
It sits about a quarter of your risk away — $68 on a $250 trade — and across 2026 98% of his signals touched it. Nearly every trade goes past it, winners and losers alike, so it separates nothing.
Close everything at the first target and a good trade pays $68. A bad one still costs the full $250, because the stop never moved. Win 74% of the time and the arithmetic still fails:
| All out at his first target | Per 100 signals |
|---|---|
| 74 wins of about $68 | $0 |
| 26 losses of $250 | $0 |
| Net | $0 |
A high win rate is not a profit. It tells you how often you were right, never how much you were paid for it.
On the trades that reached his first target, holding to his close instead of banking turned out worse on 63 of them, by an average of -$302. It turned out better on 93, by an average of +$1,088. On the other 85 it made no difference. You are punished more often and rewarded more than three times as hard.
| Trades | Share | Profit |
|---|---|---|
| Best 5 trades | 19% | $0 |
| Next 15 | 33% | $0 |
| Next 10 | 15% | $0 |
| The other 216 | 4% | $0 |
Half of all trades finished at or below break-even and the single best made +$5,610. The year is paid for by about twenty trades, and you cannot know in advance which twenty.
Once the trade is far enough ahead you move the stop to your entry, so it can no longer lose. It feels safe. Average per signal across all 246 signals:
| Move stop to break-even | One trade, with his close | Five legs, with his close | Five legs, no close | Worst drop, no close |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No break-even | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| At his first target | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| At +40 pips | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| At +60 pips | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| At +80 pips | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| At +100 pips | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| At +150 pips | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
No break-even, at any trigger
Every row below the first earns less than the first. Break-even at his first target takes the one-trade copy from +$321 a signal down to +$61. His trades often dip against you before they work, so an early break-even closes the winners just before they pay.
The one thing it buys is a calmer ride without his close: a break-even at his first target cuts the worst drop from $9,719 to $5,603, and you pay $36 a signal for that. It is the only cell in the table where the trade-off is arguable.
Do not trade his published signals mechanically
Fifteen exit rules were tested on his own entries, stops and targets. The best returns about zero. His entry direction is no better than a coin flip at the moment he publishes it, and a quarter of his signals arrive with price already past the entry.
If you do copy him, copy it like this
He is good at his job. That is not the same as his job being copyable.
Generated 08 September 2026 at 01:53 UTC. Every figure is read from the research output, not typed in. This measures whether his published signals can be traded by someone else; it is not an assessment of him as a trader, and on that question the audit is favourable.
