Calls and performance
How Calls are judged, and why posting one is a commitment to the record.
Calls can build a performance record based on how the market moved relative to the setup that was shared.
Because a Call can include an asset, direction, entry, target, stop and time horizon, its outcome can be evaluated after the fact.
Call performance
Call performance is separate from the caller's personal trading performance.
A Call can be evaluated based on things such as:
- whether the market moved in the expected direction
- whether a target was reached
- whether a stop was hit
- how the market behaved within the intended time horizon
- the overall outcome of the setup
Positive and negative outcomes can both become part of verified history.
Calls and trading performance
Posting a Call and trading that Call are two different things.
A caller may post a Call without opening a position themselves.
That means someone can have:
- a Call performance record based on the ideas they shared
- a trading performance record based on the positions they actually opened
The two can be related, but they are not the same record.
Why the distinction matters
A good market idea does not automatically mean the caller traded it well.
In the same way, someone's personal trade can perform differently from the original Call because they entered at another price, used a different size or exited at another moment.
Keeping Call performance and trading performance separate makes both records easier to understand.
