Top 5 Analyst Challenge

Order ticket only. An alert counts only when it was posted through the order ticket, so its entry and every exit are stamped by the price feed at the moment of the click. A typed alert (Discord button or $alert) is listed but not counted.

A stop on every alert. How wide is the analyst's call — his max loss is on the record, and the max drawdown column shows what it cost. An alert without a stop is not counted.

10 MES / 10 MNQ (= 1 ES / 1 NQ), always. ES is $50 a point, NQ is $20 a point. Position size never changes a score. MES and MNQ count as ES and NQ.

Net decides. Total dollars over every completed alert, wins, losses and break-evens included. A lower max drawdown breaks a tie, then more alerts.

Profit is required. A ranked position needs a net above $0.

At least 1 completed alerts.

Exit by 5:00 PM ET. The first trim or the full exit must be recorded before the session ends. If it is not, the alert is scored as a loss at its stop.

Max drawdown is the worst slide of the running total from its highest point, in close order — what someone who started following at the top would have lost. Worst run is the deepest string of consecutive losses.

At my risk is an educational calculator: it shows how the same record would look sized to a risk per entry you type (signals themselves are always sent at 1 contract; your size is set in your own tools): contracts = your risk ÷ what one contract risks at his stop on that alert; an alert too wide for one contract is skipped. His exits follow as a % of yours, rounded up. Where his real size or stop is not known, 1× = 10 MES / 10 MNQ (= 1 ES / 1 NQ). Net, worst dip and biggest single loss all scale with the multiple; "account you'd want" is the worst dip plus the biggest loss, rounded up. Hypothetical — no commissions, slippage or fills modelled.

Partial exits average out. A trade closed in parts is scored on the weighted average of its exits.

The $250 slots. Separate from the standings and with no end date: the first 5 analysts whose subscribed signals put another trader +$200 net (model results of the signals delivered to him, reported trades out) win $250 each. The trader is never named; an analyst cannot qualify on his own account.
