FP Score Common Questions

Updated over 5 months ago

Q: Why isn't my score just based on profit percentage?

A: Because profit alone doesn't tell the full story. A trader who gains 50% in a month by risking their entire account on each trade is far riskier than a trader who earns 20% using steady, risk-managed strategies. The FP Score rewards sustainable performance, not just high returns.

Q: Can I have a high score with a low winning ratio?

A: Yes. The scoring model recognizes that some strategies win less often but generate larger profits per winning trade. If you combine a low win rate with a strong risk-reward ratio and consistent risk management, you can still achieve a high score.

Q: How often is my FP Score updated?

A: The FP Score is updated in real-time. Each closed trade contributes to your overall performance profile, and your score adjusts automatically as new data is recorded.

Q: What's considered a "good" FP Score?

A: The scoring bands are as follows:

  • Exceptional (80–100): Elite-level trading performance

  • Good (60–79): Strong trading with minor areas to improve

  • Average (40–59): Basic competency, with room for growth

  • Below Average (20–39): Weak performance; key skills need development

  • Poor (0–19): High-risk, low-discipline trading requiring serious review

Generally, 60 and above is considered a solid FP Score.

Q: Do evaluation and master accounts use the same scoring criteria?

A: The core metrics (Risk-Reward Ratio, Winning Ratio, TP/SL Usage, and Consistency) are the same for both. However, Master Accounts include additional metrics like Daily Return Performance and Calmar Ratio, which assess long-term risk-adjusted performance and capital management under real funding conditions.

Q: How is consistency calculated?

A: Consistency is measured using statistical correlation to evaluate how closely your account equity follows a smooth, upward growth path. A 100% score means extremely steady growth; lower scores reflect volatile or erratic equity curves.

Q: What's the minimum FP Score needed to pass an evaluation?

(Subject to final policy confirmation)

A: There’s no strict threshold, but most traders pass with scores in the average (40–59) or good (60+) range. A higher score signals readiness for funding and consistent, responsible trading.

Q: Why does TP/SL usage matter so much in the score?

A: Consistently using Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) orders is one of the clearest signs of trading discipline. Our data shows traders who set TP/SLs on every trade tend to manage risk better, avoid large drawdowns, and achieve more stable long-term results. Even traders with strong performance elsewhere will see lower scores if they lack TP/SL discipline.

Q: How can I improve my FP Score?

Focus on:

  • Maintaining a high risk-reward ratio

  • Using TP/SL orders on every trade

  • Following a consistent trading process

  • Avoiding emotional decisions like revenge trading

  • Improving daily return stability (for Master Accounts)
