Trader Guide / Core Concepts / Meritix Quality Score
The Meritix Quality Score, in full
On a funded tier, your monthly profit share is set by the Meritix Quality Score , a single number from 0 to 1000 built from 23 signals across five families, each capturing a different dimension of trading quality. Here is what each family looks at, and how the score becomes your share.
You do not need to track all 23 signals. They all point the same way: trade safely, spread your profit, stay consistent, and keep your composure. Your dashboard shows your live Quality score and a breakdown by family.
How the score is built
Each signal becomes a small score; the signals in a family combine into a family score; and each family counts toward the total by its weight. The five families:
| Family | What it asks | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Risk & Sizing | Is the account being risked safely? | 26% |
| Engagement & Consistency | Is this real, sustained activity? | 16% |
| Performance Quality | Is the profit well-earned? | 20% |
| Concentration | Is profit broad, or a lucky spike? | 26% |
| Behavioral (Proprietary) | How you behave emotionally and how durable your edge is. | 12% |
Risk & Sizing and Concentration carry the most weight (26% each) , the platform cares most that profit is made safely and broadly, not on a single oversized or lucky bet. The proprietary Behavioral family is something most prop firms have no equivalent of.
The payout ladder
Your Quality score maps to a monthly share along a smooth curve , gentle in the middle, and reserving the very top for near-perfect cycles. Top funded traders typically sit in the high 700s to high 800s.
| Band | Quality score | Monthly share |
|---|---|---|
| Exemplary | Q 900 – 1000 | ~79% – 100% |
| Disciplined | Q 800 – 899 | ~60% – 79% |
| Consistent | Q 700 – 799 | ~43% – 60% |
| Developing | Q 550 – 699 | ~22% – 43% |
| Building | Q 400 – 549 | ~5% – 22% |
| Below floor | Q under 300 | 0% |

The 23 signals, by family
Risk & Sizing — weight 26%
Is the account being risked safely?
| Signal | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Cycle drawdown | Worst peak-to-trough fall during the month |
| All-time drawdown | Worst fall below your starting baseline |
| Drawdown duration | Longest stretch of days spent below a prior peak |
| Worst losing trade | Your single biggest loss, relative to the account |
| Largest position | The biggest position size you took |
| Loss streaks | Longest run of consecutive losing trades |
| Averaging down | How often you added to already-losing positions |
Engagement & Consistency — weight 16%
Is this real, sustained activity?
| Signal | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Qualifying days | Days that met the real-activity bar |
| Trading days | Distinct days you actually traded |
| Active ratio | How regularly you traded across the month |
| Burstiness | Whether trades were spread out or clustered |
| Hour clustering | Whether trades bunched into a few hours |
Performance Quality — weight 20%
Is the profit well-earned?
| Signal | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Profit factor | Gross wins versus gross losses |
| Sortino | Return relative to downside risk taken |
| Win rate | Share of trades that were winners |
| Hold-time balance | Letting winners run vs cutting losers |
Concentration — weight 26%
Is profit broad, or a lucky spike?
| Signal | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Single-day share | Most profit earned in one day |
| Top-trade share | Most profit from one trade |
| Scalp share | Profit from sub-minute trades |
| News share | Profit clustered around news events |
Behavioral (Proprietary) — weight 12%
How you behave emotionally and how durable your edge is.
| Signal | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Tilt Index | Behavioral drift after a meaningful loss (revenge trading) |
| Edge Robustness | Whether you stay profitable with your luckiest wins removed |
| Stress Response | Whether you trade more carefully or more wildly as drawdown deepens |
The three proprietary signals (Behavioral family) are what set Meritix apart: Tilt Index watches for revenge-trading drift after a meaningful loss; Edge Robustness checks whether you stay profitable with your luckiest wins removed (it catches lottery winners); and Stress Response measures whether you get more careful or more reckless as drawdown deepens.
