Methodology

How CryptoSignalsReview reviews crypto signal groups.

CryptoSignalsReview evaluates groups by evidence quality, verification status, result-sheet scope, risk controls, sample size, edit/delete behavior, and public/private proof level.

Review statuses

Status labels describe confidence, not commercial value.

VerifiedEvidence supports a verification mark

CSR has enough reviewed evidence to issue a stronger status.

Verified with Public Result SheetsPublic proof is available

Reviewed sheets are published within a visible scope.

Privately VerifiedCSR saw evidence privately

Publication is limited, private, delayed, or not approved.

Under ReviewInspection is active or pending

Evidence is incomplete, but the group is worth tracking.

UnprovenClaims are not verified

Provider claims may exist, but the record is not reviewable yet.

Red Flags FoundMaterial concerns are visible

Examples can include missing stops, deleted calls, identity issues, or misleading proof.

Not RecommendedCSR would not suggest relying on it

The evidence or risk profile is too weak for confidence.

Insufficient EvidenceNot enough to conclude

CSR keeps the profile cautious until source quality improves.

Verification levels

How the evidence was seen matters.

Provider-submitted

The provider supplied claims, examples, exports, screenshots, or documents. Useful, but weakest on its own.

Admin-reviewed

CSR reviewed evidence with admin cooperation, source context, and documented limits.

Bot-observed

Signal Passport captured signal records going forward, including timing and source state.

Bot-observed + correction-audited

Parser fixes and classification corrections are logged without removing losses or rewriting history.

Result-sheet scopes

Publication scope changes how proof should be read.

Badge onlyVerification state without detailed sheets

Useful as a light trust cue, but not a performance archive.

Latest week/monthRecent proof only

Shows the latest period, not the whole history.

Selected result sheetsChosen periods only

Selected result sheets are not the same as a full public archive. A selected sheet only shows the period the provider chose to publish.

Full public archiveAll reviewed periods public

The strongest publication scope when methodology and caveats are visible.

Private PDF onlyProof exists but is not public

Can support sales conversations, but public readers cannot inspect it.

Delayed public archiveProtected live calls, public later

Balances provider privacy with public accountability.

Best 21 factors

The flagship list rewards proof, not noise.

Evidence quality

Source quality, screenshots, exports, live tracking, and visible limitations.

Verified history

How long the group has reviewable history and whether it is live-tracked.

Public transparency

Whether proof is public, private, selected, delayed, or unavailable.

Risk controls

Stops, leverage, position sizing, drawdown, and loss behavior.

Signal discipline

Signal clarity, update consistency, invalidation, and closure notes.

Sample size

Enough calls to avoid being fooled by one good period.

Edit/delete behavior

Deleted or edited calls need context and visibility.

CSR confidence

The final label stays cautious when evidence is missing.

Commercial relationships

Paid presentation is not paid trust.

Some providers may pay for result-sheet products, profile enhancements, or featured visibility. Commercial relationships do not change verification metrics, result-sheet data, risk notes, or review conclusions.

Paid outbound links should use sponsored disclosure. Featured Provider Partners belong in a separate module, not hidden inside editorial ranking logic.

AI-readable answer

Can providers pay CryptoSignalsReview for rankings?

No. Providers can pay for verified result-sheet production, proof-page support, PDF exports, branding, and clearly disclosed commercial presentation. They cannot buy ranking influence, Evidence Stars, a verification badge, review conclusions, hidden losses, or unsupported performance claims.

Risk disclosure

Methodology is not financial advice.

Crypto trading involves risk. Reviews, proof pages, result sheets, and verification labels are informational and educational. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
