What These Numbers Really Are

This is a blind baseline, not a finished hedge fund trading process. The system is surfacing signals and then measuring what happened. It is not yet applying the kind of analyst screening, sizing discipline, catalyst verification, or adaptive exit management that a real desk would use before committing capital.

All Signals

Indiscriminate measurement across everything the engine tracked.

Avg winner +6.6% · Avg loser -2.2%

Alpha Formula

Blind LONG A/B baseline before any human-quality selection layer.

Avg winner +9.6% · Avg loser -5.0%

Interpretation

A modest average P&L can still hide a strong edge if winners are materially larger than losers. The real opportunity is to keep the upside shape while adding a stricter analyst buy filter and smarter sell discipline.

★ How We Would Trade

Our backtested trading formula: LONG direction + Band A/B (55%+ confidence). Only these signals enter the Alpha Group. This remains a blind baseline pass, not an analyst-curated book.

Alpha Signals

Average alpha winner: +9.6%. Average alpha loser: -5.0%. That matters because a discretionary analyst layer would not trade these names indiscriminately; the current page is measuring the raw engine before that extra judgment is applied.

A+ Pocket

Strongest historical pocket so far: LONG Band A, confidence 75%+. Raw signal stats are inflated by one extreme outlier, so the robust line below caps moves beyond 25% to avoid fooling ourselves.

Losses avoided: By filtering to high-conviction LONGs, we bypassed 144 losing research signals averaging -5.1% each.

Why This Is Expandable

The point of this page is not that the current rule set is finished. The point is that the system is already finding economically meaningful information before it is fully visible, and we can now show where the edge sits, where execution is leaking value, and where outside help could compound it.

More Volume

Today the desk is only ingesting a small number of reports each day. If the A+ pocket remains stable as volume rises, more coverage should produce more high-conviction names without changing the basic logic.

Better Execution

The first A+ pocket is already stronger than the current realised capture. A+ robust signals are averaging -1.6%, while executed closed trades are averaging +0.5%. That gap is the product opportunity.

Distribution Edge

Quiet or stirring stories can become more valuable if credible publishers, analysts, or distribution partners help the market notice them. Early publish-window signals are the clearest candidates for that model.

First A+ Signature

The first defensible A+ signature is LONG Band A, confidence 75%+. On a robust basis it is averaging -1.6% with a 0.53x profit factor across 9 measured names. That is a starting point for sharper filters, not the end state.

What If We Traded Each Band Differently?

This section shows our workings. We replay the stored hourly paths under a few simple exit styles, then compare early quiet/stirring signals with later propagating/mainstream signals as an inferred news-acceleration proxy. We do not yet have direct measured publish-lift data, so the attention effect below is an inference from visibility stages, not a causal claim.

Band A · Let the move breathe

Best scenario so far: Baseline hold on 70 usable hourly paths. Robust simulated exit return is +0.6% with 39% win rate.

News stance: Attention effect unclear. Early quiet/stirring names are +0.5% robust; later propagating/mainstream names are +0.3% robust. Inferred attention lift: -0.2%.

Monster survival: 2/3 top winners stay positive under the best playbook.

NVTS final +91.3% → best playbook -4.1% (hold_to_end)

IOBT final +26.1% → best playbook +26.1% (strong_profit)

Scenario	Paths	Avg Exit	Robust	Win Rate
Baseline hold	70	+0.6%	+0.6%	39%
Tighter kill	70	+0.5%	+0.5%	39%
Protect earlier	70	+0.6%	+0.6%	39%

Band B · Trade it and protect gains earlier

Best scenario so far: Protect earlier on 148 usable hourly paths. Robust simulated exit return is -0.1% with 45% win rate.

News stance: Attention effect unclear. Early quiet/stirring names are -0.8% robust; later propagating/mainstream names are -0.1% robust. Inferred attention lift: +0.7%.

Monster survival: 3/3 top winners stay positive under the best playbook.

AEHR final +75.7% → best playbook +49.0% (strong_profit)

IHE final +47.5% → best playbook +51.0% (strong_profit)

Scenario	Paths	Avg Exit	Robust	Win Rate
Baseline hold	148	-0.3%	-0.2%	45%
Tighter kill	148	-0.3%	-0.2%	44%
Protect earlier	148	-0.2%	-0.1%	45%

Band C · Trade it and protect gains earlier

Best scenario so far: Protect earlier on 280 usable hourly paths. Robust simulated exit return is +0.1% with 30% win rate.

News stance: Attention effect unclear. Early quiet/stirring names are +0.3% robust; later propagating/mainstream names are -0.1% robust. Inferred attention lift: -0.4%.

Monster survival: 2/3 top winners stay positive under the best playbook.

NVDA final +97.9% → best playbook +94.3% (strong_profit)

FRMI final +43.9% → best playbook -4.3% (time_limit)

Scenario	Paths	Avg Exit	Robust	Win Rate

Band D · Let the move breathe

Best scenario so far: Baseline hold on 118 usable hourly paths. Robust simulated exit return is +0.7% with 24% win rate.

News stance: Attention effect unclear. Early quiet/stirring names are +0.9% robust; later propagating/mainstream names are +0.2% robust. Inferred attention lift: -0.7%.

Monster survival: 3/3 top winners stay positive under the best playbook.

TSM final +85.1% → best playbook +87.9% (strong_profit)

NVDA final +67.8% → best playbook +68.4% (strong_profit)

Band E · Let the move breathe

Best scenario so far: Baseline hold on 28 usable hourly paths. Robust simulated exit return is +1.5% with 18% win rate.

News stance: Improves after attention. Early quiet/stirring names are -0.1% robust; later propagating/mainstream names are +0.9% robust. Inferred attention lift: +1.0%.

Monster survival: 3/3 top winners stay positive under the best playbook.

HUBC final +49.9% → best playbook +49.9% (strong_profit)
