Start here (the most important part)
This website is for learning, not for telling you what to do with money. It shows ideas from a computer model about stocks. Sometimes the ideas are right, and sometimes they are wrong. Trading can lose real money. Never use money you can't afford to lose, and always talk to a trusted adult or a professional before doing anything with real money.
What is a stock? (in one minute)
A company like Apple or Nvidia is huge. To raise money, it cuts itself into millions of tiny pieces called shares (or stock). When you buy one share, you own one tiny slice of that company — like owning one slice of a giant pizza.
The price of a share goes up and down every day, depending on how many people want to buy or sell it. Traders try to guess which way the price will move next.
What does this website do?
A computer model studies the price charts of 13 stocks. When it spots a setup it likes, it shares an idea: which stock, whether it thinks the price will go up or down, where it would start, where it would take profit, and where it would quit if it's wrong. Then we track every idea out in the open — the wins and the losses — so you can see how it really does.
Words you'll see (with easy examples)
| Word | What it means |
|---|---|
| Long LONG | A bet that the price will go UP. You win if it climbs. (Think: buy low, hope it rises.) |
| Short SHORT | A bet that the price will go DOWN. You win if it falls. (Yes — you can make money when a price drops.) |
| Entry | The price when the idea started — the starting line of the trade. |
| EOD Close | "End-Of-Day Close" — the price of the stock when the market closed for the day. The date is shown, like "EOD Close (6/27)". |
| Stop | The safety exit (also called a "stop-loss"). If the price hits this, the idea is wrong and the trade is closed to stop bigger losses. Think of it as an ejector seat. |
| Target 1 & Target 2 | Two finish lines where we'd take profit. Target 1 is the first, closer goal. Target 2 is the bigger goal further away. A green check ✓ means that goal was reached. |
| Trigger | The price that would start a new trade for a stock we're still waiting on. |
| Armed | A stock the model is watching but hasn't started a trade on yet — it's waiting for the Trigger price. |
| Open trade | A trade that is still running — it hasn't reached its final goal or its stop yet. |
| Closed trade | A trade that has finished — either it hit its goal (a win) or hit its stop (a loss). |
| Unrealized Gain/Loss | The "paper" profit or loss while a trade is still open. It's not real money yet because the trade isn't finished — it can still change. Green = ahead, red = behind. |
| % Return | For a finished trade, how much it gained or lost, as a percent. |
| Success Rate | Out of the trades that have finished, the percent that reached the target. Higher is better — but it is not a promise about the future. |
The life of a trade (the simple version)
Every idea follows the same path:
1. Armed (waiting) → 2. Trigger hit → trade Opens (now running) → then one of these happens:
✓ reaches Target 1, then maybe Target 2 = a WIN or ✗ hits the Stop = a LOSS.
Once a trade wins or loses, it's done and moves to the Closed Trades list. The stock then goes back to "Armed" and may get a new trade later.
How to read each part of the main page
The boxes at the top (Target 1 and Target 2)
There are two rows of boxes. The first row is about Target 1, the second about Target 2. In each row:
Success Rate = how often that target was reached. Open Signals = trades still working toward it. Wins = trades that reached it. Losses = trades that were stopped out first.
The "Open Trades" table
These are trades happening right now, newest at the top. Reading left to right: the stock and direction (Long/Short), the date it started, the Entry price, today's EOD Close, the Stop (safety exit), Target 1 and Target 2 goals (with a ✓ if reached), and the Unrealized Gain/Loss (paper profit/loss so far, green or red).
The "Closed Trades — Results" table
These are finished trades — our honest scorecard. It shows the date opened and date closed, the Entry and Exit prices, the goals, the final % Return, and the Result: a green Win or a red Loss.
The "Watchlist" table
These are stocks the model is watching but hasn't traded yet (all "Armed"). It shows the side it's leaning, today's price, the Trigger price that would start a trade, the planned Stop, how far the price is from the stop, and the two targets.
Why a high success rate is not a promise
Even a model that has done well in the past can be wrong tomorrow. The stock market is full of surprises, and no one can predict it perfectly. That's why you'll always see this reminder: past performance is not a reflection of future performance. Treat everything here as something to learn from and watch, not as a guarantee.
Smart and safe habits
• Watch and learn first. You don't have to risk any money to follow along.
• Never use money you might need for important things.
• If you're young, talk to a parent or trusted adult before doing anything real.
• Be patient. Good traders lose sometimes too — what matters is learning over time.
