How we count

Every signal of this family the scorecard captured when it was served, plus its stored history where the issue time and the call were recorded; neutral calls are not counted. A signal's result is the underlying's move from the close of the day it was issued (the next day's close when it was issued after the 4 pm ET close) to the following trading day's close, in the called direction. A win is a result above zero. Hit rate is wins divided by signals, rounded down. Expectancy is the average result per signal, losers included. Max drawdown is the largest fall, from a peak, of the cumulative P&L of a book that puts $1,000 on every signal; the worst losing streak is the most losing signals in a row. Past results do not predict future ones.
