3) Were published at least 3 months ago

2) 6-month Return: the return of a PAMM Account over the past 6 months and one day (updated at each rollover)
3) Overall Return: the return of a PAMM Account from the time it was activated up to the last rollover
4) Average daily leverage used: is the average daily «High» value on the graph of leverage used for the whole history of a PAMM-account.
5) Maximum leverage used: is the maximum daily «High» value on the graph of leverage used for the whole history of a PAMM-account.
6) Maximum Drawdown: the maximum amount you could have lost by investing in a PAMM Account (the distance between a maximum point and a minimum point following the maximum point on the return chart in the PAMM Account monitoring)
How the Rating is Calculated:
All the accounts are ranked by every characteristic. The leader is awarded with the quantity of points equal to the quantity of accounts ranked. The outsider is awarded with 1 point. Then the total of points is calculated for every PAMM.
The ratings of PAMM Accounts are based on the following formula:
N = P3 + P6 + Pall + LUavg + LUmax + DDmax, where:
N = the overall number of points earned by the account
P3 = the points earned based on the account’s 3-month return
P6 = the points earned based on the account’s 6-month return
Pall = the points earned based on the account’s overall return
LUavg (Average Leverage Used) = the points earned based on the account’s Average daily leverage used;
LUmax (Maximum Leverage Used) = the points earned based on the account’s Maximum leverage used;
DDmax = the points earned based on the account’s maximum drawdown (the higher the maximum drawdown, the fewer points earned)
The accounts are ranked by the total of points. The leader is awarded with 5 stars and his total amount of points is deemed reference. Then the price of one star is calculated. The rest of accounts is rewarded with stars according to the quantity of points received.
By default, the charts showing the return of a PAMM Account will show the overall return.
You can sort PAMM Accounts by:
Daily Return:
This is the return of the PAMM Account from 00:00 (MetaTrader time) tо the time of the last rollover.
The "Daily Return" filter allows you to sort and filter the PAMM Account Ratings based on "Daily Return". If you enter "5" into the "Daily Return" box, only PAMM Accounts will be shown which had at least a 5% daily return at the time of the last rollover.
By clicking in the "Daily Return" box, you can select a filter level from a drop-down menu.
Return over Period:
This will show the percent profit or loss of Investors on their Managed Accounts over a specified period of time. It is calculated based on the following formula:
(P2 - P1) / P1 × 100%, where:
P1 — "Share Price" at the beginning of the period;
P2 — "Share Price" at the end of the period.
If you enter ">500" into the "Return over Period" box, only PAMM Accounts will be shown where there was a return of at least 500% over the corresponding time period. This number may be entered in any format. The return figures in the Ratings don’t take the managers' monthly compensation into account.
Return/Risk Ratio: the ratio of the average daily return to the average daily loss
Star Rating: Alpari’s system of rating PAMM Accounts, based on a scale of 0-5 stars
