Live track record · updated daily

Watch the process work — in public, paper money, losses included.

Every weekday at 10 AM ET, Claude executes TickerNote's BUY/SELL recommendations into a $10,000 CAD paper portfolio — same data, same rules, paper money. You see every decision, every stop-out, every win and every loss. We don't get to cherry-pick. Started 5/18/2026.

An open experiment, not a promise. This portfolio paper-trades our published signals so the results are auditable. Our own out-of-sample testing has not demonstrated a durable, net-of-cost edge over the S&P 500 — any tilt we've measured so far is small, gross of costs, and unproven across market regimes. We run this public paper track record to test, in the open, whether disciplined execution changes that. It may not. We won't delete or reset this record if it underperforms. As a pre-committed kill-criterion: if the paper track lags SPY by >5pp over 60 days we'll say so and reconsider. Simulated/paper results. Not investment advice.

Behind SPY by 1.94pp over this window. Over a window this short the gap is mostly market beta and noise — not evidence of an edge.

What we trade

• Only US-listed equities surfaced by the morning report's BUY High / BUY Medium signals (score ≥ +1).
• Position size: recommended sizing, capped at 5% of capital.
• Hard 2% stop-loss per position. Tighter of (report stop, 2% rule) wins.
• Skip BUYs within 5 days of earnings — event risk outweighs upside.
• Intraday stop/target sweep at 1 PM ET to catch flash drops.

Why this is honest

• No survivorship bias. Every signal — including the ones that stop out — is logged and counted.
• No hindsight. Trades execute the same morning the signal fires, against the same prices everyone else sees.
• Published rules. The scoring and the entry / stop / target formula are spelled out on the backtest page and applied identically here — no hidden "proprietary model."
• No revisionism. The equity curve above is the running record, drawdowns and losing trades included. We don't reset it when the strategy underperforms.
