How we think about signal accuracy
Public subscriptions are paper-only; separately approved private beta accounts may submit live broker orders. As a result, this page does not publish a track record, win rates, or returns. It explains how signals are produced and checked, and where the research stops being reliable.
Tradewink's public offering is paper trading only, so we don't publish live trading results.
Earlier versions of this page showed figures from records that mixed paper and live executions. We removed them rather than publish numbers that could be read as a live record.
How signals are checked
Rules first, AI second. Every signal starts from a named rule-based strategy and a screener score. A language model reviews the candidate and explains it; it adjusts conviction but does not invent trades. The methodology page walks through each step.
Levels are stated up front. Each published signal carries its entry zone, stop, target, and timeframe when it is issued, so it can be judged against what it said, not what happened later. See every resolved signal.
Backtests are hypothetical. Where the site shows a backtest, it is simulated on historical data, designed with the benefit of hindsight, and labeled hypothetical with the CFTC Rule 4.41 notice. A backtest is not a record of actual trading.
Confidence is not probability. A signal's confidence score is the model's self-assessed criteria match. It is not a probability of profit.
Known research limits
- Models trained after an event may already "know" how a ticker moved, so backtests over those dates are not a clean out-of-sample test.
- Several analyst roles can run on the same underlying model and share its blind spots.
- Results in one market regime may not hold in another.
The full list is on the AI limitations page.
How to read any track record
Ask whether figures are live, paper, or backtested, and how many trades sit behind them. Win rate alone is meaningless without average win and average loss. Nothing on this page is investment advice.
