Championship Methodology
Every ranking, every score, every recognition — built on transparent, verifiable methodology governed by institutional standards.
TPI Methodology
The Trading Performance Index — a proprietary dual-model scoring system that rewards skill, discipline, and risk management over speculation.
TPI Open
Measures trading efficiency under standard market conditions, enabling broad and inclusive participation across connected trading platforms.
TPI Pro
Applies a stricter risk framework to evaluate performance under peak exposure conditions. Designed for high-stakes evaluation, capital benchmarking, and competitive ranking environments.
TPI Open ensures accessibility. TPI Pro defines professional-grade performance.
Both models are part of the IFCCI Trading Performance Index (TPI) framework, designed to standardise performance evaluation across varying levels of market participation. Scores are calculated using a 30-day rolling window from verified real-account data across all supported platforms.
Integrity & Fairness
A 5-point integrity framework ensuring every ranking is earned, never manufactured.
Real Accounts Only
No demo or simulated trading — every pip is real, every loss is felt.
Platform Verification
Only regulated, reputable platforms with API access are accepted.
Anti-Manipulation
Algorithmic monitoring detects wash trading, spoofing, and result fabrication.
