In each case where it indicates long and short, it means that those traders who are primarily short traders, for example, are scored separately from those who trade primarily long. This is because, in those particular parameters, the results vary significantly between short and long traders.

 

The system rates the top twenty services in each category and gives the best service in that category a score of 20. The second best service is given a score of 19, and so on down to 1. These individual scores are then totalled to give an overall rating of a service's performance. As there are 19 categories, it means the best possible score is 380.
