🕐

WHEN TO EXPECT SIGNALS · Fires 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM ET

This is a day-trade bot: it hunts its setup only during this morning window on regular market days. Outside the window it stays flat — no overnight or afternoon entries. Every signal is intraday-only and auto-expires by the 4 PM ET close — no positions held overnight.

Benched — not for sale This bot still runs and is scored publicly, but it is not available to subscribe to and does not send subscriber alerts. It stays benched until it has a live track record we can stand behind. Any figures below are out-of-sample backtest results, not a live record. See the bots you can subscribe to →

Live Track Record

Based on 63 live signals — too few to confirm an edge either way. Treat the out-of-sample backtest below as the stronger evidence, and watch this record accumulate.

This bot's live record is currently net negative. A profit factor below 1.00 means losses have outweighed gains across these 63 signals. We publish it either way — wins and losses alike.

Context: the out-of-sample backtest below covers 112 trades across more varied market conditions than this live sample. Judge both.
