How the 63/100 breaks down
Every weight is published. Add the right-hand column and you get the score — no hidden weighting, no editorial adjustment. If you disagree with a line, you can say exactly which one.
| Criterion | Weight | Awarded | What it means here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily loss limit fully specified | 15 | 12 | Percentage, basis, whether it is measured on balance or equity, and the reset time. All four, or partial credit. |
| Maximum loss limit fully specified | 15 | 7 | Percentage, static or trailing, and the reference point it trails from. |
| Consistency rule formula published | 12 | 12 | The formula, not just the percentage. An explicit “no consistency rule” scores full marks. |
| Payout terms fully specified | 15 | 6 | Split, frequency, profitable-day requirements and minimum amounts, for every cycle offered. |
| Soft-breach rules disclosed | 10 | 10 | Profit deductions, warning systems and split reductions that cost money without closing the account. |
| Legal entity identified | 10 | 6 | Entity name, jurisdiction and company registration number. |
| Regulator or licence disclosed | 8 | 0 | A named regulator and licence number, or a clear statement that there is none. |
| Restricted countries named | 8 | 8 | The actual list, not a generic clause about unlawful jurisdictions. |
| Rule changes dated and traceable | 7 | 2 | Changes carry effective dates and state whether existing accounts are affected. |
| Total | 100 | 63 |

not that none happened. This firm publishes a trading-updates feed we have not yet backfilled.
Who you are actually contracting with
Most firms split the simulated-trading operator from the execution entity. Which entity you face can depend on the platform you pick, and that changes your counterparty risk. Nobody else puts this in a comparison.

Recorded as day-start balance with this caveat.Payout cycle— The Classic article states the split as 'up to 100%' and a minimum amount; how often a payout can be requested was not found.Company registration number— Not printed anywhere read. Texas Secretary of State not searched.Regulator— No statement either way.Prices and sizes— The checkout is a configurable builder; not captured.
