How We Review and Rank Crypto Signal Channels

Last updated: November 12, 2026

We review a lot of crypto signal groups, and our own channel is one of the services in this market. That is a conflict of interest, so we want the method to be public. This page explains exactly how we review, score and rank channels, what we check and what we cannot check.

The Short Version

We do not rank channels by the profits they claim. Profit claims are easy to make and hard to prove. We rank them by transparency: things any trader can check in a few minutes, without paying.

The Six Checks

Every channel is scored on the same six questions:

1. Stop loss on signals. Does every signal include a stop loss, posted together with the trade?
2. Losses shown publicly. When a trade hits its stop loss, is it reported the same way as the wins?
3. Full public track record. Is there a complete history of signals you can go through, not just screenshots of the best trades?
4. Independently verified. Is the record checked by a third party, or only published by the channel itself?
5. Free channel to test. Can you follow the service for free before you pay anything?
6. Trade in your own account. Can you trade on a major exchange of your choice, without a required deposit on a specific platform?

How the Score Works

Each check gets 2 points for yes, 1 point for partly or inconsistent, and 0 points when we could not see it or could not verify it. The total out of 12 is converted to a score out of 10. We call it the Transparency Score.

What the score is not. It measures how open and checkable a service is. It does not measure profitability, and a high score does not guarantee future results.

What We Look At

• The channel's public Telegram or Discord: recent signals, older signals and how results are reported.
• The channel's own website and pricing pages, when they exist.
• Public results sheets or track records, when the channel publishes them.
• Independent sources such as public review platforms, when relevant, keeping in mind that reviews can be manipulated in both directions.

What We Do Not Do

• We do not trade every channel's VIP signals with real money, and VIP content can differ from what is posted publicly.
• We do not repeat win rates that we cannot check as if they were facts.
• We do not sell places in our lists. No channel has paid to be included, reviewed or ranked.
• We do not link to copycat or impersonator channels. Each review warns about them where we found any.

How We Handle Our Own Channel

Bullstar Signals is scored with the same six checks as everyone else, and every list where it appears says clearly that it is ours. You can check our claims yourself: every closed VIP signal since 2022 is on our results page, including the losing ones.

Updates and Corrections

Channels change their prices, rules and habits. Each review shows the date it was last updated. If you run a channel we reviewed and something is wrong or out of date, email [email protected] with a link we can check. If the evidence supports it, we update the review and the score.
