Profile position
The record is strongest when its parts are not blurred together.
O'Neill's case rests on three distinct pillars. His academic background establishes quantitative training. The 2023 and 2024 figures belong to his personal audited track record. His 2025 figures belong to the World Cup Trading Championships and are presented as competition results, not as another personal calendar-year return.
This separation matters: it lets readers verify each layer against the source appropriate to that claim.

Verification notes
What supports the profile
Personal-record audit
The 2023 and 2024 rows are calculated from the submitted record using the site's published six-metric methodology. They are personal performance figures and are not WCTC figures.
Championship cross-reference
The 2025 places and returns are cross-referenced to the World Cup Trading Championships' published results. Competition publication supports those results; it does not turn them into product performance.
Model-performance boundary
Operator record is not product performance
O'Neill operates Vector Ridge, whose model-performance evidence is a separate pillar in the wider record. AuditedTrader does not treat an operator's personal or championship result as proof that a signal service, fund, or customer account achieved the same return. Product and model claims require their own evidence trail.
