Options are high-risk and can expire worthless — these are research signals, not recommendations to trade.

What you get

Four things, daily.

Curated, ranked, explained. No firehose, no vibes, no recycled CNBC takes.

Curated setups

A handful of stock and options plays in your inbox before market open each day, ranked by conviction. Not a feed — a shortlist.

Every signal explained

Which rule fired, which gates passed, which blocked. If a setup didn't make the cut, you see why.

Watch a real bot run

The same signals drive an actual paper portfolio with real positions, exits, and P&L you can follow live.

Built in public

The roadmap, the gates being added, the audit findings — all visible. You see what works before you commit.

Beyond the digest

A workbench, not a newsletter.

The 8 AM digest is the daily hook. The platform is what you spend the rest of the day in.

Research any symbol

Open the research view for any name the bot tracks — see whether it would trade today, which gates passed, which blocked, and what the directional call or put play would be.

Follow the paper portfolio

The same signals drive a real paper portfolio — open positions, fills, exits, and running P&L you can audit position by position.

Order history, annotated

Every order the bot placed and why — the rule that fired it, the gates it passed, and the skip-reason on the ones that didn't make the cut.

Live signal feed

Every signal as it fires, not just the morning digest. Filter by conviction, strategy, sector. Click any row to see the full rule trace.

The bot's universe

The full 500+ stock universe the bot scans nightly, with conviction scores, the gate that's holding each one back, and the trigger that would unblock it.

Live positions + exit plans

Every open position the operator's running, with the rule that will close it — profit target, stop loss, DTE gate, signal reversal. No mystery exits.

Inside the app

What members see every day.

Top Option Setups card showing tomorrow's bot picks

Tomorrow's plays, staged tonight

The Top Option Setups card on the dashboard surfaces the bot's highest-conviction directional plays for the next session — strike, expiry, premium, the strategy that picked it, and why. Updated nightly.

Universe scan results showing strategy routing per symbol

Universe scan

Every symbol in the universe scored against the live rules — strategy family, ADX regime, conviction score, and the gate-by-gate "why" for each row.

Strategy router showing market regime and per-symbol routing across three equity strategies — Trend Following, Mean Reversion, Momentum

Strategy router

Different markets need different rules. On the equity side, the bot routes each symbol through one of three strategies — Trend-Following, Mean-Reversion, or Momentum — based on its own ADX regime. Directional options run in parallel on the strongest setups.

Backtest performance page with upfront caveats about survivorship and gate gap

Honest about its limits

The performance page opens with what the backtest can't show — survivorship bias, gate gaps — before any numbers. We'd rather under-promise than ship glossy.

Under the hood

How a signal gets made.

Each step is documented, deterministic, and visible to members. No black box.

Universe scan

A 500+ stock large-cap pool screened nightly for liquidity, trend strength, and earnings hygiene. The bot's active trading universe is a tighter curated subset (~80) drawn from that screen.

Regime detection

Each symbol routed into one of three equity strategies — Trend-Following, Mean-Reversion, or Momentum — based on its own ADX, with sticky asymmetric thresholds so the regime doesn't flip-flop on noise. Directional options layer on top when the setup is high-conviction.

Layered gates

A dozen-plus filters — sector ADX, correlation drag, gap risk, VIX, earnings, move fatigue, and more — applied before any signal fires. Each gate writes its decision to an audit log.

Conviction scoring

Surviving candidates ranked by a composite score so top setups surface first instead of arriving in noisy order.

Top-N broadcast

The highest-conviction setups go out as the daily digest. The rest stay visible on the Watchlist with the exact gate that blocked each one.

Paper portfolio

Selected setups stage as orders against a real paper account at Alpaca and fill at the next morning's open — so you see fills, holds, exits, and P&L, not just a feed.

Set expectations

What this is, and isn't.

This is

  • A daily, ranked shortlist of stock + options setups
  • A rules-based companion you can audit decision by decision
  • A real paper portfolio you can follow position by position
  • Built in public — roadmap, audits, and limitations visible

This is not

  • Financial advice — the signals are research, not instructions
  • A managed account — we never touch your money. The bot trades the operator's own capital, not yours. On July 1 the operator starts putting their own money behind the same signals you've been watching.
  • Personalized to your portfolio, risk, or tax situation
  • Day-trading or scalping — daily cadence, not minute-by-minute
  • For sale yet — paid tiers ship later in 2026 with 30 days' notice
Our north star

Discipline and honesty over hype.

We don't promise the highest returns or to beat the market every year — plenty of services make that claim, and most can't keep it. What we commit to is a transparent, risk-first, fully auditable way to see the market.

Risk first

We'd rather miss part of a rally than take a big loss. Avoiding deep drawdowns is the priority.

Fully transparent

Every signal shows what fired, why, and what's blocking it. No black box, no cherry-picked track record.

Disciplined

The same rules run every day, in every market. Emotion doesn't get a vote.

Auditable

Signals are recorded to a tamper-evident ledger, so the record you see is the record that was sent.

The honest trade-off

Because we put risk first, in a roaring bull market a simple index fund may out-return us — and that's by design. Our aim is a smoother ride and a process you can trust, not chasing every last point of upside. If beating the market on raw return is your only goal, we'll tell you honestly: a low-cost index fund is hard to beat, and we won't pretend otherwise.

On the roadmap

Where we're headed

Today's signals are built on price and trend — a well-understood approach with no special edge on raw return, and we're honest about that. The path to a genuine market-beating edge runs through independent, non-price information, which we're actively researching:

News & sentiment
NLP on headlines & filings
Fundamentals
Real financial-statement data
Market regime
Volatility / VIX & macro context
Market-neutral
Pairs / statistical arbitrage

Our commitment is the same discipline as everything else: we ship a new edge only after it proves itself out-of-sample — never before. If one is validated, the platform can grow into a more return-oriented mandate, and we'll say so plainly, backed by evidence. Until then we won't claim an edge we haven't earned.

In a field full of hype, being the platform that under-claims and over-documents is the product.

The roadmap

What's coming, when.

Now → June 30

Paper-trading observation month

Code-frozen. Bot runs untouched. Early-access members onboard. We watch how the rules hold up across a full month of unbroken trading.

July 1, 2026

The operator goes real-money

The operator (not you) starts putting their own capital behind the bot at 10% of target sizing, on the exact same strategies. Live track record starts building alongside the paper portfolio you've been watching. Your subscription stays the same — research, not management.

Later in 2026

Paid tiers ship

When the live track record is meaningful, paid tiers launch for new members. Anyone approved into the early cohort keeps their seat — that's the early-access promise.

Common questions

Things people ask.

Whose money is at risk on July 1?

The operator's, not yours. On July 1 the operator (the person running the bot) starts putting their own capital — about 10% of target sizing to begin with — behind the exact same signals you've been watching all month. You're not signing anything that touches your account. You're not "going live" with us. We're going live; you get to watch.

Will the bot trade for me?

No. Signals are informational — you decide what to do with them. Your account is yours; we never touch it. (A webhook is available if you want to wire it into your own broker, but that's your call.)

What does the bot actually trade — stocks, options, or both?

Both, off the same engine. The signal pipeline (EMA crossover, ADX regime, RSI, ATR, volume confirmation) decides everything. For each name that passes the gates, the bot stages an equity setup for a swing-style position and — when the trigger is fresh and the structure stacks up — a directional call or put for leverage on the same view. The 8 AM digest shows the top 3 calls and top 3 puts; equity signals stream into your in-app feed in real time as they fire. The operator's own July 1 capital goes into the same two tracks.

What happens if a signal doesn't work?

It's in the weekly digest — win rate by regime, gates that fired, signals that went the wrong way. We surface the misses; we don't bury them. Paper trading is for spotting exactly this kind of pattern before the operator's own capital is exposed on July 1.

How often will I get signals?

The daily digest lands in your inbox at 8:00 AM ET on trading days — about 90 minutes before market open, with the ranked shortlist. Live signals also appear in real time on your in-app feed as the bot generates them.

When does this become paid?

Not until late 2026. Anyone approved into the early cohort before July 1 keeps their seat; signups after that move to paid tiers when they ship, with 30 days' notice and the choice to convert or opt out. No advance commitment.

Why invite-only?

Quality of feedback loop matters more than size of audience right now. Smaller membership means we read every reply, follow up on every weird signal report, and ship the right things faster. The bar drops over time.

What if I already have a TradingView / Discord / Twitter signal source?

Most signal sources don't tell you why a setup made the list, what filters were applied, or what didn't make it and why. This one does. If you find that boring, you'll find this boring too — it's the whole point.
