Review methodology
What we review
Each review covers one Telegram forex signal channel over a defined time window. We analyze publicly available messages from the channel's free feed. VIP, private, or paid-access content is not included in the review sample.
Data sources
Reviews are based on two types of evidence: text messages (including captions) and image content such as chart screenshots and trading platform captures. Both are treated as equal evidence sources. Deterministic metadata — message counts, timestamps, channel handle, and review period — is derived directly from Telegram data, not from editorial judgment.
Post classification
Each message in the reviewed sample is classified into one of the following categories:
- Signal-like posts — trade calls, directional calls, zone-based signals, or re-entry instructions
- Structured setups — signal-like posts that include a usable trade structure such as entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels
- Result-update posts — follow-up or outcome messages (e.g. "hit TP", "stopped out", "running in profit")
- Market analysis — technical or fundamental commentary without a fully structured trade setup
- Promotion / VIP posts — monetization, upsell, affiliate links, or join/contact prompts
- Suspicious claims — unverified profit claims, guaranteed-return language, or pressure tactics
Analytical content without a structured trade entry is classified as market analysis, not as a signal. This allows channels focused on commentary and education to be evaluated on their actual content rather than penalized for low signal counts.
How ratings work
The channel rating is evidence-weighted and reflects the balance of observable evidence across several dimensions: signal quality, analysis depth, transparency, promotional intensity, and evidence completeness. The rating is numeric on a 0–5 scale and must align with the written editorial verdict.
The editorial verdict resolves to one of three outcomes: positive, mixed, or negative. The verdict is determined by the evidence-based rating, not by subjective editorial preference.
What is excluded
- VIP or paid-access content is not included in reviews
- Deleted posts are not visible in the reviewed sample
- Private messages or closed groups are not part of the analysis
- Exact profit percentages or win rates are not stated unless directly supported by observable outcome data
Known limitations
Public-post analysis has inherent limits. The reviewed sample covers a specific time window and may not reflect longer-term channel behavior. Outcome data is only counted when follow-up posts are visible in the public feed — channels that track results in VIP-only groups will appear to have fewer confirmed outcomes. Image evidence depends on screenshot quality and may not capture all relevant details.
Each review states its data period, sample size, and evidence scope so readers can judge the basis of the assessment independently.
