How to Read a Trader Profile on Catchnex (And What Each Metric Means)

By Catchnex Editorial Team

Before you copy any trader, you should understand what you're looking at. Catchnex displays real performance data on every trader profile — here's how to read it.

Total Profit

This is the headline number: the cumulative dollar profit the trader has generated across all closed trades. We lead with this metric because it reflects actual money made, not a percentage that can be inflated by small deposits.

A trader with $50,000 Total Profit has made real money for real accounts. That matters.

ROI (Return on Investment)

ROI shows the percentage return relative to the capital deployed. On Catchnex, this is calculated using real deposited capital only — credit and bonuses are excluded from the denominator, so the number is honest.

A 40% ROI means the strategy has returned 40% on actual invested funds.

Win Rate

Win rate is the percentage of trades that closed in profit. A 60% win rate means 6 out of every 10 trades were profitable.

High win rate alone doesn't mean much — a trader could win 70% of trades but lose heavily on the 30% that go wrong. Always read win rate alongside ROI and the performance chart, never on its own.

Risk metrics we do not publish

We previously showed a max drawdown figure and a provider stability score on trader cards. Both have been removed: on accounts whose capital basis cannot be fully reconstructed, a drawdown figure would be misleading, and the stability score is a provider-defined number with no published scale. We would rather show nothing than show a number we cannot stand behind. Judge risk from the performance chart, the trade history and the ROI curve instead.

Followers and Capacity

Each master has a follower limit (e.g. 65/500). This shows current followers vs. maximum capacity. A nearly full master is popular — but always verify the recency of their performance, not just the crowd.

How to use this data

The best approach: rank by ROI to find proven traders, then review the Performance Chart and trade history to check that recent results match the historical record.
