Returns worth
looking beyond.
Real historical numbers. One 12-month window. The drawdown, fee basis and source beside every return.
Ranked by reported return, not by safety. Fees are not deducted on a common basis: gross DARWIN returns, provider-account growth and fund NAV total return are labelled separately. Open each record for its risk notes.

NoPain MT5
AUDCAD signal subscription, generated by a robot according to its author.
+35.33%12 months · Provider account growth
Monitoring started 16 Oct 2024. Currency / reporting basis: USD; no conversion to a common investor base currency.
The return and its limits
All twelve published monthly growth observations are positive, giving 0.00% month-end drawdown. That does NOT mean no risk: the source reports a 20.63% full-history equity drawdown. Earlier history predates monitoring; this comparison window follows monitoring. Signals and EAs overlap: this is classified by subscription delivery, not described as manual trading.
Source-reported full-history equity drawdown: 20.63%. Retrieved 9 November 2026; this is a different period and measure from the 12-month, month-end figure above. It is not used to sort the drawdown column.
What the fees leave out
Current subscription price, not a verified historical fee schedule. The displayed provider growth is before subscriber charges and follower execution differences. Twelve current monthly charges total US$360. The author states a US$1,200 minimum balance; at that balance US$360 alone equals 30% of starting capital, showing why small-account net results can be very different.

DARWIN SYO
Forex, index and commodity CFDs; risk-managed DARWIN exposure.
+16.63%12 months · Gross strategy return
Investable since 19 Feb 2018. Currency / reporting basis: DARWIN index; no conversion to a common investor base currency.
The return and its limits
A managed, risk-scaled strategy index, not the trader’s unscaled account and not a pure-forex fund. Monthly observations are rounded by the source. The public headline summary did not reconcile with its monthly table, so only the captured monthly table is used here.
Full-period equity drawdown: not verified. The calculated month-end decline is not a substitute for open-position or intraday equity risk.
What the fees leave out
Current investor charges: 1.2% annual management fee on actively invested equity; 20% performance fee, settled quarterly with a high-water mark. Both are excluded from the displayed strategy return. The actual net investor result was not supplied; it cannot be recreated by simply subtracting 20% of this annual gain.

Expert EURUSD Sys01
Primarily EURUSD; the history also contains gold and Brent trades.
+9.25%12 months · Provider account growth
Monitoring started 30 Nov 2023. Currency / reporting basis: EUR; no conversion to a common investor base currency.
The return and its limits
The provider describes a martingale/reversal/hedging strategy. This risk is not captured by its 12-month return alone. The source account is denominated in EUR; its percentage return is not a USD-converted return.
Source-reported full-history equity drawdown: 43.91%. Retrieved 9 November 2026; this is a different period and measure from the 12-month, month-end figure above. It is not used to sort the drawdown column.
What the fees leave out
Current subscription price, not a verified historical fee schedule. Provider growth excludes the subscriber’s subscription, VPS costs and differences in spread, sizing, swaps and execution. Twelve current monthly charges total US$588; this is a cost illustration, not an observed follower net return.

DARWIN ONL
DARWIN strategy; forex, index and commodity CFD exposure may be included.
+7.15%12 months · Gross strategy return
Public monthly history predates this window. Currency / reporting basis: DARWIN index; no conversion to a common investor base currency.
The return and its limits
Monthly source table used; no inferred full-period equity drawdown or investor net return. The public headline summary was not used because it did not reconcile with the table.
Full-period equity drawdown: not verified. The calculated month-end decline is not a substitute for open-position or intraday equity risk.
What the fees leave out
Current Darwinex investor charges exclude both the 1.2% annual management fee and the 20% quarterly high-water-mark performance fee from the displayed strategy return. Individual net returns depend on investment dates and fee crystallisation.

WisdomTree CEW
Emerging-market currencies versus USD plus money-market collateral returns; not a leveraged EURUSD trading account.
+5.99%12 months · Fund NAV total return
Fund inception 6 May 2009. Currency / reporting basis: USD; no conversion to a common investor base currency.
The return and its limits
Official one-year NAV total return as of 31 Oct 2026 is 5.99%. Month-end and daily drawdowns are reconstructed from the issuer’s rounded daily NAV history, reinvesting the US$0.46704 distribution on 26 Dec 2025. The reconstruction returns 6.00%, about 0.01 percentage point above the published figure; the official return is retained and this small reconciliation difference is disclosed. Last trading day was 30 Oct 2026. NAV performance differs from a buyer’s market-price result (issuer reports 5.22% for the same year).
Reconstructed daily NAV total-return drawdown within the window: 3.56%. This uses daily closing NAV, not intraday prices, with distributions reinvested. The comparable month-end measure is 3.10%.
What the fees leave out
Fund expenses are reflected in NAV. Investor brokerage, bid–ask spread and taxes are additional. Use the exact prospectus and local eligibility terms; this US-listed ETF is not universally available.

Same dates. Different investment mechanics.
This is a return leaderboard of five selected records, not a best-investment rating or a whole-market survey. Records were selected for public monthly history spanning the comparison window and coverage of the four routes. Selection is not random and can suffer survivorship bias. A higher return can come from greater leverage, different currencies, assets or risk. There is no risk-adjusted score or suitability recommendation.
¹ A consistent drawdown column
For each record, we start an index at 100 on 31 October 2025, compound the next twelve monthly observations and measure the largest fall from an earlier month-end peak within that window. Formula: 100 × (1 − current index ÷ highest earlier index). Initial capital is included as a peak. This is a month-end growth-index drawdown: it can be far smaller than real equity drawdown because it misses open losses and moves between month ends. It does not include a peak before the window.
In particular, NoPain’s 0.00% means every observed monthly result was positive. The source’s 20.63% full-history equity drawdown makes clear why that is not a claim of zero risk. Full-history source equity figures and CEW’s reconstructed daily NAV drawdown appear in the record notes, with their different periods and definitions.
² Fees are visible, not silently estimated away
DARWIN returns are gross before management and performance fees. MQL5 returns describe the provider account before the subscriber’s fixed charges, VPS and execution differences. CEW’s official NAV total return reflects fund expenses, but excludes investor dealing costs and tax. These are not common-basis, after-all-fees investor returns. Current prices were checked on 9 November 2026 and are not a verified historical fee schedule. We do not deduct a made-up annual fee estimate and call it an observed net result.
Calculation and currency
For the four strategy accounts, 12-month growth is 100 × [∏(1 + monthly growth ÷ 100) − 1], using the twelve displayed source values. Those rounded observations can differ slightly from a provider’s unrounded calculation. No annual forecasts or lifetime growth figures enter the ranking. CEW uses its official one-year NAV total return, with its drawdown separately reconstructed from issuer NAV history and the ex-date distribution; a 0.01-percentage-point return reconciliation difference remains disclosed. Account percentages remain in their original reporting basis and have not been translated into one common investor currency.
What is excluded
XXX2026 and Don2026 lacked a complete 12-month history. QImpulse_ValuT had blank months and an excluded-history notice, so we did not turn blanks into assumed zero returns. RAZOR EA had a longer imported history but monitoring began in January 2026, after the window started. HXA showed a flat, inactive-looking period; it was not used as an active opportunity example. No Mint research backtest is presented as a live investor return.
