Close 2026-08-21 1267 scanned A

Are the scans working?

The historical record on every other page is a backtest — a replay of what a scan would have done. This page is the live record: what each scan has produced since 2026-08-18, on real published signals, compared against what the average stock did over the same windows. Backtests flatter. This does not.

This page is too young to draw conclusions from. Only 3 published sessions have had enough time to resolve. It is shown anyway because hiding it until it looks good would defeat the purpose — you should be able to watch this fill in and judge it yourself.

Why the live and backtest columns disagree. They almost always will, and a large gap is informative rather than embarrassing: a backtest sees the whole history at once and its thresholds were chosen knowing how it ended. The live column had no such advantage. When a scan looks good in the backtest and flat here, the backtest is the number to distrust.
