Investors-Protect is an all-monitor: instead of trusting a single HYIP monitor, we read
27 monitors and show what they report about
36,580 programs on one page.
This page explains where a program's status comes from, what each status means, and how fresh the data is.
Where the data comes from
Every status on this site is collected from the public pages of the HYIP monitors we track — we do not ask
programs what their status is, and we do not take anybody's word for it. The full list of monitors we read,
with their trust rating, is on the monitors page.
Each monitor publishes its own verdict for each program it follows (paying, waiting, problem, not paying).
We record that verdict together with the time it was read. When a monitor changes its verdict, the new one
replaces the old one — only a monitor's most recent verdict counts towards a program's status.
How a program gets its status
A program's status is worked out from the latest verdict of every monitor that follows it:
- Paying — at least one monitor reports payouts and no monitor reports a problem; a clear paying majority
keeps a program paying even when a single monitor lags behind.
- Not Paying — not-paying verdicts match or outnumber paying verdicts. A not-paying verdict from
H-Metrics, the monitor we treat as the primary source, is enough on its own.
- Problem — monitors report delays or unstable payouts, and those verdicts outnumber paying ones.
- Waiting — monitors follow the program but none of them has confirmed a completed payout yet. This is
the normal state for a newly listed program.
Programs that none of the monitors currently list are shown as Not Paying with a monitor count of zero.
If you see zero monitors on a program page, read that as "nobody is tracking this program right now" rather
than as a verified verdict — the monitor list on the page tells you which monitors were checked.
How often it updates
The monitors are re-read every hour. A program's own status is recalculated whenever its monitors are read,
so a change usually appears on this site within the hour. Each program page shows when it was last checked,
how many monitors contribute to its status, and how many of them agree.
What we do not do
We do not accept deposits, run programs, or pay out anything. We do not predict whether a program will keep
paying: a status is a record of what monitors reported at the last check, and any program can stop paying
without notice. Use the status as one input alongside your own judgement, never as a guarantee.
Found something wrong?
If a status looks stale, or a monitor is reporting something we have not picked up, tell us and we will
re-check the program against its monitors. Use the contact page or the live chat.
