Important context
• Trader 2 has only 22 predictions so far
• Recently entered the ratings with a “Hot Start” (strong early performance)
• Ratings are based on closed positions only (unrealised PnL not counted)
The setup
• Trader 1 has scale and a more proven track record
• Trader 2 shows strong early performance but is still relatively green
Their ratings could diverge significantly over the next few months depending on how this plays out.
Who will be right?
