Chapter 4 · For experts

Publish and prove it

An expert publishes an idea; the platform — not the expert — measures what happened next. Every performance number is computed from live follower outcomes, so it cannot be edited after the fact and losses are shown at the same weight as wins. In exchange you get distribution, twelve lenses on your audience, and a transparent payout split.

Worked illustration. A sample expert, sample signals and sample results, shown to explain how scoring works. Not a real track record, not live data, and not a forecast — past results never promise future ones.

Step 1 — you publish a sentence

Pick the signal you want to publish“Long AAPL above 190 — stop 182, first target 205.”“Short the FTSE 100 into the close. Stop 8,240, target 8,050.”“Buying MSFT on the pullback to 400; invalidated below 388; take profit at 425.”

Step 2 — what your followers receive

Publish the sentence above to see what lands in a follower’s feed.

Step 3 — the platform, not you, keeps the score

Your record is recomputed from followers’ closed positions. Nothing is scored while it is still open, and nothing is scored from what you say happened.

Sample published record — every call, in one list
Signal	Closed	Followers’ result	Outcome
AAPL long	12 Mar	+6.2%	Win
FTSE 100 short	19 Mar	−4.1%	Loss
MSFT long	2 Apr	+3.4%	Win
TSLA long	11 Apr	−7.8%	Loss
SPY long	23 Apr	+1.9%	Win

Win rate60%

Scored calls5

Average result−0.1%

Worst call−7.8%

Notice that a 60% win rate sits next to a slightly negative average: the two losses are bigger than the three wins, and no averaging trick hides that. A track record that only showed win rate would read very differently.

Try to improve it. Delete the losing call in the table above, or type a nicer win rate here and publish that instead.
