"Breakeven" is the most argued-about word in any signals group. The trade went your way, then it didn't, and everyone who was in it has a different number at the end. This is how we count it, so you can read our record without guessing.
The two things people call breakeven
There are two separate events and they get the same name.
1. The desk closes the trade at entry. Either early, because the setup has stopped making sense before any target (a session opens against it, a news release moves the stop into the wrong place), or after a stop that was moved to entry following TP1 is taken out. In both cases the desk records the trade as a breakeven, 0 pips. That is an explicit entry made by a person, and since 9 September 2026 every early close of this kind is posted in the VIP channel as its own message.
2. The market comes back through the entry after TP1 and nobody closes anything. This is the one that surprises people: the record does nothing with it. The automatic scoring records the targets a trade reached. A return to entry is not an event it writes down. If you had moved your own stop to entry, your account shows 0; the record still shows TP1.
The short version: a breakeven on our results page is always something the desk recorded, never something the system inferred.
Why the same trade can show four numbers
Members ask this constantly, usually after checking three places and finding three answers. All of them are correct. They measure different things.
| Where you look | What it does with the trade | TP1 reached, then back to entry |
|---|---|---|
| Results page, the live record | Records the highest target reached. Once TP1 is reached the signal is never a loss, even if it later trades through the original stop. A 0 appears only when the desk closes at entry and records a breakeven | +TP1 pips, unless the desk closed it at entry and recorded 0 |
| Backtester on this site | Takes the record's outcome for each signal and caps it at your strategy's exit level (TP1, TP2 or TP3). No price replay, no stop-to-entry model | +TP1 pips under all three strategies |
| Copier on your account | Default ladder: 70% closed at TP1, stop moved to entry, the rest managed by the copier's own settings. TP3 preset: nothing moves, the original stop stays | Default ladder: TP1 on 70%, 0 on the rest. TP3 preset: still open, and a full stop if it keeps going |
| Analyzer, in the app | Replays the signal candle by candle against the management rule you choose | Whatever your rule would have done |
The live record is generous in exactly one way and it says so on the verify page: once TP1 is reached, the signal finishes at the highest target it reaches and cannot be recorded as a loss. Breakevens, when the desk records one, are counted as wins in the win rate. We state that so nobody has to discover it.
The backtester is the record re-cut by exit level. A signal recorded as reaching TP1 counts as a TP1 win under Safe, Balanced and Aggressive alike, where a live position held for TP3 with its original stop could have finished at the stop. It is useful for seeing how much of the record's pips sat at each target. It is not a simulation of your account.
The copier is your account. Which of its numbers you get depends on the setting you chose, and the take profit guide is about choosing it on purpose.
The Analyzer is the only one of the four that walks the actual price path with a rule, and it is the tool we point members to when the numbers above don't match their account.
What this means for reading a record
When you compare signal services, the breakeven policy is the thing to ask about, because it is the easiest place to make a record look better than it was.
- A service that books the TP1 partial as a win and never mentions what the rest of the position did is scoring only the best moment of the trade.
- A service that counts only trades that reached TP1 and drops the rest from its monthly total is doing the same thing from the other side.
- A service whose history has no losses at all is either not showing you the whole record or has not traded long enough for you to judge it.
Our published record includes the stops and the breakevens the desk recorded. In the 30 days to 21 September 2026, replaying the VIP channel's own messages on the published method: 85 signals posted, 79 resolved, 96% of those reached TP1, and 3 hit the stop before any target. Those 3 are on the results page with the rest, and the per-signal replay file is published with the month's write-up.
The practical rule for your own account
If you take partials at TP1 and move to entry, expect some trades to finish at 0 that our record shows at TP1. If you run the copier on the TP3 preset, expect no breakevens at all: TP3 or the original stop, with larger swings both ways. Neither is wrong. Pick one, size for it, and stop comparing your account to a record that is running a different rule.
