The Track Record

Every call this site publishes, in one graded ledger: the entry it was struck against, the implied move at the time, what actually happened, and whether the call won. Passes are scored like everything else, because "don't buy the straddle" has a P&L consequence too. This is a paper record of published calls, not executed trades, and the losses are listed with the same precision as the wins: methodology and scoring rules.

Hit Rate Is Not Edge

Why the headline number is not enough

A 70% hit rate loses money if the winners average +5% and the losers average -20%. A 40% hit rate can compound if the wins run and the losses are cut. So this page reports expectancy alongside the hit rate: win rate times average win, minus loss rate times average loss, per unit of risk. Expectancy only exists for priced calls: a call with a stated or modelled cost. Passes carry no return by construction, so on a ledger this young the expectancy sample is tiny, and the table says "too few" rather than dressing up two data points as a statistic.

Two scores per call

Every row is graded twice. Thesis accuracy: did the predicted phenomenon happen? Call result: did the published call win, scored on the whole position? The distinction finds out where a process fails. A straddle buyer who correctly predicts realised beating implied but picks a structure that bleeds anyway has a research edge and an execution problem, and only separate scores can show it. On the seeded backlog the two coincide, because nearly every early call was a pass; they diverge as priced calls accumulate.

By Category

Directional stock calls, options-direction calls, volatility calls, event calls and macro calls have different statistical properties, so there is no blended "score" across them. The volatility bucket dominates the early ledger because the site's trade logs grew out of earnings previews.

Tracked calls with a sourced entry and a live mark. They sit outside the hit rate until they close, so unrealised gains never pad the record.
