AlphaYouScorecard rules
How we count wins and misses.
Every public call is saved before the result. This page explains what counts, how we compare it, and why losers cannot disappear.
01 · Public calls
What counts in the scorecard.
AlphaYou sees more ideas than it shows publicly. Only clean calls that pass our quality checks appear in the public feed and count in the scorecard.
Right now, the public scorecard is long-only. Three labels exist:
- PUBLIC. Counts in the scorecard. Shown in today's calls and on stock pages.
- WATCH. Worth watching, but not strong enough to count in the headline scorecard.
- INTERNAL. Not public. This includes shorts for now, tiny stocks, warrants, and calls with too little support.
02 · Counting
One stock, one direction, one day.
Repeat alerts on the same stock in the same day are not counted twice. The first call is the entry. Later matching alerts only add context.
This stops one noisy news cluster from making the scorecard look bigger than it is.
key = (ticker, direction, DATE(issued_at AT TIME ZONE ‘UTC’))
03 · Entry price
The price is locked when the call goes public.
The entry price is the market price when the call is published. It cannot be edited later.
When we check the result, we compare back to that entry price. Stock splits and dividends are handled so the return stays fair.
If a stock stops trading, we use the last real traded close instead of making up a number.
04 · Comparisons
A call has to beat more than itself.
Each result check compares the call with three common yardsticks:
- SPY— the broad S&P 500 comparison.
- QQQ— the Nasdaq-100 comparison.
- Sector ETF— an ETF for the stock's sector. This helps show whether the stock really worked, or whether the whole sector simply went up.
The scorecard shows these side by side so you can pick the comparison that matters to you.
05 · Result checks
We check calls after set periods.
Every public call is checked after 7, 15, 30, 60, 120, 180, and 365 days when price data is ready. Once a result lands, it stays.
The 7-day result is the first one with enough calls to show. The 15-day and 30-day views open when enough calls are old enough.
Wins and misses both stay visible. A bad call does not disappear.
06 · Main number
We lead with the middle result.
One lucky call can make an average look great. The middle result is harder to fake: half the calls did better, half did worse.
That is why the scorecard leads with the middle result. The average and hit rate are still shown next to it.
07 · Older records
Old rebuilt calls do not boost the headline.
Some older calls were rebuilt from filings before AlphaYou launched. They can help us test the system, but they do not count in the live headline scorecard.
They can still have a saved record page, just not a place in public performance stats. Rows without a strong source link stay out of public claims.
08 · Saved record
We save the call before the result.
When a public call is made, we save the ticker, direction, reasons, target range, price, time, and comparison. This creates a unique code for that exact call.
The hash is submitted to OpenTimestamps. When it lands in a Bitcoin block, anyone can check that the call existed before the result.
Each call page shows the saved code, entry price, time, Bitcoin block when ready, result checks, and whether the call is public, watch-only, or internal.
09 · Portfolio claim
A portfolio claim needs a higher bar.
A stock call and a full portfolio are not the same thing. A call asks, “did this stock beat the comparison?” A portfolio asks, “could you actually buy all these calls and beat SPY and QQQ?”
The current portfolio test is frozen as prospective_7d_50_v1. We do not market it until it clears the harder test.
- Calls used
- Public, live, long calls only. Watch-only, internal, and older rebuilt calls are excluded.
- Score floor
- Score must be at least 14.
- Max positions
- Up to 50 open stocks at once, filled by score.
- Buy price
- Next trading day's adjusted open, with a small trading-cost penalty.
- Hold window
- 7 calendar days from entry, with scheduled exits and terminal-event handling.
- Compare with
- SPY and QQQ over the same dates.
- Public bar
- At least 5 fresh runs, enough 15-day and 30-day results, at least 50 closed trades per run, no missing prices, drawdown no worse than -8%, and every run at least 2x SPY and QQQ.
Until that harder test clears, AlphaYou should only market the public calls, source links, and result checks.

10 · Public-call rules
What it takes to count today.
A call counts in the public scorecard only when every rule below is met when it goes public.
- Direction
- Long only for now. Shorts do not count publicly yet.
- Score
- Score must be at least 14.
- Risk band
- Never low. Low-support calls stay out of the scorecard.
- Price
- ≥ $5 when the call is made.
- Ticker type
- No warrants, units, or rights.
- Coverage
- We must have enough fundamentals data for the stock.
- Weak groups
- If a source-and-sector group keeps failing, it is held out until it improves.
When a rule fails, the call can still be saved, but it does not count in public headline numbers or today's calls. Watch-only calls can still appear on stock pages as context.
Check anything
The scorecard is the source of truth.
Headline numbers come from public calls and their result checks. If a number ever looks off, the individual call page wins.
