R (risk)
1R is the amount risked on one trade. A trade that makes twice its risk is +2R, and a stop loss is −1R, whatever the account size.
We replayed 84 signals from Ben, Gold Trader on real historical market prices, with spread and slippage included, using the same rules for every channel.

1R is the amount risked on one trade. A trade that makes twice its risk is +2R, and a stop loss is −1R, whatever the account size.
The share of tested trades closed in profit. A high win rate alone means little: a few large losses can outweigh many small wins.
High means 20 or more tested trades and under 5% uncertain. Low means fewer than 10, or 15% or more uncertain.
Every testing rule is on our methodology page.
VIP results are never published. The strategy finder shows whether a different exit, like TP1 only or break-even after TP1, would have held up on newer signals.
