Detailed Score Breakdown
1. U.S. Regulated Brokers Only: 0/20 Points ❌
VerifyAlgo Criterion: Services must exclusively use U.S. NFA/CFTC regulated brokers.
Finding: Eminence Pro is known to have customers use OX Securities, which appears on the CFTC RED List.
Documentation: According to available information, Eminence Pro is known to have customers use OX Securities for broker services.
CFTC RED List - Educational Context:
The CFTC maintains a Registration Deficient (RED) List. According to the CFTC:
"The Registration Deficient List, also called the RED List, contains names of foreign entities that appear to be acting in a capacity that requires registration with the CFTC, but they are NOT registered with the CFTC."
The CFTC states:
"The inclusion of an entity's name on the RED List does not mean that the CFTC or a court has concluded that a violation of any provision of the Commodity Exchange Act or the Commission's Regulations has occurred. However, you should be cautious of unregistered firms or individuals when participating in products or markets that historically have seen a large number of fraud complaints — these include binary options, forex, digital currencies, commodity pools, and precious metals."
OX Securities Status:
OX Securities appears on the CFTC RED List.
Educational context - U.S. regulated vs. unregistered brokers:
U.S. NFA/CFTC registered brokers provide:
Regulatory oversight and compliance requirements
Mandatory minimum capital requirements
Segregated client funds
Regular financial reporting and audits
Regulatory recourse through NFA arbitration
Unregistered brokers like those on the CFTC RED List:
Operate without CFTC registration
May have different client fund protection structures
May provide different legal recourse options
CFTC advises caution when using such entities for forex trading
Score rationale: Eminence Pro is known to have customers use OX Securities, which appears on the CFTC RED List. Zero points awarded in this category.
2. U.S. Regulated Markets Only: 0/20 Points ❌
VerifyAlgo Criterion: Services must operate exclusively in U.S. regulated markets with centralized clearing.
Finding: Eminence Pro operates in forex spot markets.
Documentation: According to available information, Eminence Pro trades forex.
Regulated Currency Futures Context:
CME Group offers centrally cleared, CFTC-regulated currency futures.
According to CME Group's FX Product Guide (https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/fx/fx-product-guide.html#micros-minis), regulated currency futures include:
Available regulated products:
Major currency pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, etc.)

E-mini FX futures
Standard, E-mini, and Micro contracts
These regulated currency futures provide:
Centralized clearing through CME Clearing

Educational context - forex spot vs. CME currency futures:
Forex spot markets:

Broker acts as counterparty to client trades
Pricing set by individual brokers
Regulatory oversight varies by jurisdiction
Different execution structures
CME currency futures:
Centralized CME Clearing
Exchange clearing
Centralized transparent pricing
CFTC regulatory oversight
Standardized specifications
Traded through U.S. NFA/CFTC registered brokers
Score rationale: Regulated currency futures on CME provide access to currency pair markets with centralized clearing and CFTC oversight. Eminence Pro operates in forex spot markets. Zero points awarded in this category.
3. Reputation Score: 6.4/10 Points ⭐⭐⭐
Trustpilot Rating: 3.2/5.0
VerifyAlgo Reputation Score: 6.4/10 (Trustpilot rating × 2)
Client feedback themes:
Based on Trustpilot reviews, feedback includes:
Customer experiences with the service
Performance results across different time periods
Drawdown experiences
Customer service interactions
Drawdown reports:
Client reviews document drawdown experiences:
60% drawdown reported
50% drawdown reported
45% drawdown reported
Educational context:
A 3.2/5.0 Trustpilot rating represents below-average client satisfaction within the algorithmic trading industry. This rating reflects experiences of clients who left reviews.
Score rationale: The Trustpilot rating of 3.2/5.0 converts to 6.4/10 using VerifyAlgo's scoring methodology (Trustpilot score × 2).
4. Dangerous Strategies (Low Score = Bad, High Score = Good): 0/20 Points ❌
VerifyAlgo Criterion: Services must not use Martingale, grid trading, or similar unlimited-risk strategies.
Finding: Eminence Pro employs Martingale strategies.
Documentation: According to available information, Eminence Pro uses Martingale strategies.
Educational context - Martingale strategies:
Martingale strategies involve:
Increasing position sizes after losses
Attempting to recover prior losses with subsequent trades
Continued position size increases during adverse movements
Can result in large accumulated positions
Can result in large losses during extended adverse movements
The Martingale mechanism:
System opens initial position
If position is profitable, closes with gain
If position moves unfavorably, position size increases
Process continues during adverse movements
Eventually position sizes may reach margin capacity
Results depend on market conditions and available capital
Mathematical characteristics:
Pattern of frequent small gains during favorable conditions
Larger losses during adverse conditions
Each position increase requires additional capital
Results depend on market conditions and account size
All trading strategies carry risk; Martingale has specific characteristics
Score rationale: Eminence Pro employs Martingale strategies. Zero points awarded in this category.
5. Drawdown History (Low Score = Bad, High Score = Good): 0/20 Points ❌
VerifyAlgo Criterion: No documented complete account losses or excessive drawdowns.
Finding: Client reviews document drawdowns of 45-60%.
Documentation: According to Trustpilot reviews:
Customers have reported 60% drawdowns
Customers have reported 50% drawdowns
Customers have reported 45% drawdowns
Complete blowup status:
While complete account blowups (100% loss) have not been documented in available reviews, the reported drawdowns of 45-60% represent substantial account equity declines.
Educational context on drawdowns:
Drawdowns of 45-60% represent:
Account equity declining by nearly half or more
Substantial loss of account capital
Requires significant gains to return to breakeven (45% drawdown requires 82% gain; 50% requires 100% gain; 60% requires 150% gain)
May approach margin requirements depending on broker and position sizes
Connection to Martingale:
These drawdown levels are consistent with Martingale strategy behavior:
Position sizes increase during adverse movements
Multiple positions accumulate
Account equity declines during these periods
System manages positions during market movements
Score rationale: Client reviews document drawdowns of 45-60%. Complete blowups have not been documented. Zero points awarded in this category based on excessive drawdown levels reported.
6. Performance Transparency: 5/10 Points ⚠️
VerifyAlgo Criterion: Third-party verified performance through platforms like MyFXBook or model account methodology showing representative client results.
Finding: Eminence Pro provides MyFXBook performance tracking.
Documentation: According to available information, Eminence Pro uses MyFXBook for performance tracking.
Positive element - MyFXBook verification:
MyFXBook provides third-party verification, which offers:
Independent data confirmation
Prevention of manual result manipulation
Real-time trade tracking
Auditable historical data
This represents a transparency effort.
Educational Context: Balance vs. Equity Reporting
Important context about MyFXBook for forex services:
MyFXBook typically reports based on balance (closed, realized trades) rather than equity (current account value including unrealized positions).
Why this distinction matters:
Balance:
Shows closed, realized trades only
Reflects profits/losses from positions that have been closed
Does not include open positions
MyFXBook typically reports balance
Equity:
Shows current account value
Includes unrealized gains/losses from all open positions
Reflects current account value
What appears in broker account
What determines margin requirements
What this means:
MyFXBook shows balance performance from closed trades
Account reflects equity including unrealized positions
During periods with open positions, these can differ
Example scenario:
MyFXBook reports balance from closed trades
Account equity includes unrealized positions
The two numbers may differ during periods with open positions
Educational context:
This balance vs. equity distinction applies to:
Martingale strategies (which may hold positions during adverse movements)
Any system holding positions
Services where positions remain open for extended periods
Single-account tracking:
Single-account MyFXBook tracking:
Shows individual account performance
May not represent typical client results across all users
Cannot show distribution of outcomes across client base
Cannot show what percentage of clients experienced various drawdown levels
The drawdown context:
Clients reporting 45-60% drawdowns are reporting account equity experiences. The relationship between these equity experiences and MyFXBook balance reporting would need to be clarified by the company.
Contrast with highest transparency (10/10):
Services receiving full transparency points would provide:
Brokerage statements: Direct broker confirmation of account values
Aggregate reporting: Real-life fills of all users
Model account methodology: Average performance across all clients
Equity-based reporting: Performance including unrealized positions
Outcome distribution: Percentage experiencing various outcomes
Clear labeling: Whether reported performance is balance or equity
Why 5/10:
Credit awarded (5 points):
Uses MyFXBook third-party verification
Provides independently verified performance data
Prevents manual result manipulation
Credit withheld (5 points):
Single-account tracking rather than aggregate reporting
No brokerage statements
No model account showing average of all user fills
No clarification whether MyFXBook shows balance or equity
Cannot verify typical client experience across all users
Score rationale: Eminence Pro provides MyFXBook third-party verification, but does not provide brokerage statements, aggregate reporting, model accounts, or balance vs. equity clarification. 5/10 points awarded.
