How FXQON Results Are Calculated

The short version

Every FXQON signal is published with a fixed Entry, Stop Loss and Take Profit. When it ends, the system works out the result from those stored levels and its own price feed. Nothing is typed in by hand afterwards.

• Results are measured in pips and in R (multiples of the original risk), not as a percentage return on any account.
• They describe the published levels, not your broker's fills. Spread, commission and slippage are not included.
• The homepage summary and the Track Record page use the same calculation.

Which signals count

Each signal ends in one of the ways below. Only the ones marked "Yes" are included in net pips, net R and the win rate.

The Track Record counts signals published since the start date shown at the top of that page. Earlier signals stay on record but are not part of the totals. Demo or example signals, and any signal marked Under Investigation, are also left out.

How pips and R are measured

For gold (XAUUSD), one pip is 0.10 of a price point, so a move of 17.58 points is 175.8 pips.

Original risk is the distance from Entry to the original Stop Loss. A stop that is moved later never changes it.

The reward-to-risk shown on a signal when it is published is its planned ratio. That is a different number from realised R, and adding realised R across many trades is not the same as any single signal's plan.

How a signal fills, closes or is missed

• A signal starts as Pending. It becomes Active when FXQON's own price feed reaches the Entry level: at or below it for a Buy, at or above it for a Sell.
• FXQON uses its own price feed for this, not the price quoted in the alert.
• Exits at the Stop Loss or Take Profit are recorded at the published level itself, with no slippage.
• Prices are checked at regular intervals, not tick by tick. A very short spike between two checks may not be picked up, and a trade can be recorded as closed a little after price crossed the level.
• If the feed looks out of date, or disagrees sharply with the price in the alert, the system skips fill and close checks for that cycle instead of acting on doubtful data.

Breakeven

Once a trade has moved a set multiple of its risk in profit, its stop moves to Entry. That multiple depends on the system and the type of setup, and sits between 1R and 2R. Telegram and the website both show when it happens.

If price later returns to Entry and hits the stop, the trade is recorded as Breakeven. Its pips are not zero: they are half of the pips the trade had reached when the stop moved.

Example: a trade reaches +240 pips when its stop moves to Entry, then returns and is stopped at Entry. It is recorded as Breakeven with +120 pips (+1.00R if the original risk was 120 pips).

MAIN SIGNALS work differently. They have no fixed breakeven point; their stop follows newly formed market structure instead. If a trailed stop that has moved into profit is hit, the trade is recorded as a win at that stop level, never as a loss.

Early closes and partial exits

Some trades end before their stop or target: closed by hand, closed ahead of major news to protect profit, closed when an opposite structure confirms, or closed to roll into a larger-timeframe setup. The exit price is the actual price at that moment, and the result is recorded by outcome. A profitable early close therefore counts as a win even though the Take Profit level was not reached. The Track Record lists it as a win, and Live Signals labels it TP Hit.

• Half-closes. The team can close half a position by hand. When the trade finally ends, the recorded pips are the average of the two exits, half at each price.
• Major news. No new signals are created from one hour before a marked high-impact event until 15 minutes after it, and orders still waiting are cancelled. Open trades in profit may be closed early to lock the gain. Other open trades are left alone, unless they have already reached their breakeven point, in which case the stop moves to Entry.

Win rate and sample size

• Win rate = wins ÷ (wins + losses) × 100. Breakeven trades are left out of the ratio and reported separately.
• Until there is at least one win or loss, it shows "—" rather than 0%.
• Small samples swing a lot. The Track Record warns when fewer than 20 closed trades are included, and one more result can change the figure noticeably.

Verification labels

The Track Record shows which label applies to each signal.

Verification is about the record: it shows the published levels and the result were not altered afterwards. It does not mean the trade was executed on a live broker account.

What these figures do not include

• Your broker's spread, commission, swap and slippage, and the price at which your own order is actually filled.
• Your position size and leverage. Summed pips and R are not a percentage return on any account.
• Any guarantee about the future. Past results do not predict future results. See the Risk Disclosure.

Worked example

Illustrative numbers only, not real signals. Take a Buy with Entry 4,000.00, original Stop Loss 3,988.00 and Take Profit 4,024.00. The original risk is 120 pips.
