What is ChainRated?
A rating platform for crypto copy traders and Telegram signal channels. The difference from a review site is that most of what you read here is computed rather than claimed: we archive the signals a channel publishes and replay them against real 1-minute exchange candles, and we read copy traders’ results out of the exchange itself through read-only API keys.
Community reviews and scam reports sit alongside those measurements. They do not replace them, and they cannot move them.
What is free and what costs money?
Everything a reader comes here for is free, and everything a trader needs to prove a record is free too.
- Free: every rating, channel page, replayed track record, scam report, review, the forum, and comparison pages — no account needed to read them.
- Free: connecting a read-only exchange API key, having your account’s history synced, and publishing the resulting track record on your page.
- Free: three backtest runs per month on your own rules over a channel’s real signal history.
- Paid, and only for owners: extra backtest runs (credit packs or a Pro subscription), listing tiers, a section of your own channel page that you write, and a Promo banner marked as an advertisement.
Visibility is for sale; verification is not. No tier, page section or banner includes, discounts, or accelerates a Verified status, a badge, or any calculated metric, and a channel that pays us and trades badly shows exactly the numbers it earned.
What does a verified track record actually prove?
That a specific exchange account really made the trades shown, in the sizes and at the times shown, and that the profit or loss is the exchange’s own figure rather than a screenshot. That is a strong claim, and it is the whole claim.
It says nothing about why the account traded the way it did. A run of losses can be a bad strategy, a broken bot, a stop that was never placed, or a month of deliberate risk-taking, and none of those look different in the data. We publish what happened, not a story about it.
Where can I see these verified tracks?
On the track index, and on the member profile of anyone who published one. A track page shows percentages, trade counts, drawdown, liquidations and dates — never balances or amounts — and it is indexed by search engines from the day it goes up.
Could a trader hide bad results on another account?
Yes, and this is the honest limit of the whole method. We can prove what happened on the account that is connected to us. We have no way to know whether the same person also trades three other accounts that are not connected, and a losing trader who connects only their one good account will show a good track — a genuine one, on a genuinely cherry-picked account.
What narrows that gap is time and continuity rather than any clever check: a track that starts on the day it is connected and then runs unbroken for a year is a much harder thing to stage than one that appears fully formed. Publication is all or nothing, and pausing the sync leaves a visible mark on the page instead of a quiet hole.
The page describes a trading account for a reason. "This account did this" is what we can prove; "this person trades like this" is an inference you are making, and it is yours to make carefully.
How far back does the history go?
Two years, because that is all the exchange keeps. Bybit refuses any query for trades older than 730 days outright, so an account that has been trading for five years still shows a two-year track, and the years before that are invisible to us — not clean, not dirty, simply unavailable.
Every track therefore states the date of the earliest trade we can see and the date we searched back to. If those two sit close together, the account may well have been trading before that, including through something it would rather you did not see.
Why do you only accept read-only API keys?
Because a key that can trade or withdraw is a key that can lose someone money, and no rating is worth that risk. We ask the exchange itself what a submitted key is permitted to do and refuse anything carrying trade, transfer, or withdrawal rights — we check the exchange’s answer rather than the owner’s promise, and we check again on every sync, so a key whose permissions are widened later is disabled instead of used.
Why is win rate never shown on its own?
Because it is the easiest honest number to mislead with. The first live account we ran this system against closed 24,641 trades with an 88.1% win rate and lost money overall: the wins were tiny and the losses were not. Win rate always appears next to profit factor and the net result, and a page showing only the flattering half of that pair would be doing exactly what this site exists to expose.
Where do the numbers on a channel’s page come from?
From replaying its own published signals. We store each signal as first posted, then replay it against real 1-minute candles under one fixed rule set that every channel answers to identically, because numbers built on each channel’s own targets cannot be compared between channels. Editing or deleting the original message afterwards changes nothing, since the replay runs on the snapshot we stored.
Why are some channels listed with no numbers at all?
Because they publish nothing that could be replayed. Analytics channels post commentary, VIP storefronts post a shop window for a paid group, and promo funnels route readers to a platform that pays them per signup — none of those publish entries, so no honest metric exists for them and we print none. They stay listed and clearly marked rather than hidden.
Separately, a few channels do publish entries in a format our parser does not handle yet. Their pages say so, because that is a fact about our coverage and not about them.
What if a number about me is wrong?
Tell us and we check it against the raw data; if we got it wrong we fix it and say so. We have done this publicly before — in August 2026 a bug in our own scoring marked reached targets as expired, and we recalculated every affected verdict and rewrote the published articles that had been built on the old figures.
What we will not do is edit a metric because someone asks. Corrections come from the data or they do not come at all.
Can I delete my data?
Yes, but not with a button yet. Write to [email protected] and a person deletes your account, your messages, your connected keys and everything synced with them. A self-service version is on our list; until it is built, this page is not going to claim otherwise.
Two things you can already do alone: disconnect an exchange key, which stops the sync and drops the badge from your page immediately, and unpublish a track, which takes the page down the moment you press it.
