How a signal works
Every call is a record, not a message. Here is the whole lifecycle, including the parts most communities delete.
1. An analyst posts a thesis
The reasoning comes first: what structure the analyst is reading, what would confirm it, and — critically — what would invalidate it.
2. It becomes a typed record
Instrument, side, entry plan, stop, targets and leverage context are extracted into a structured signal with its own immutable id and timestamp.
3. Updates land in a thread
Partial fills, moved stops, and changes of view are appended with author and timestamp. The original is never rewritten, so the decision trail stays intact.
4. It closes, win or lose
Every trade reaches a recorded outcome. Invalidated and cancelled setups are recorded too — they are part of the process, not failures to hide.
5. It becomes a lesson
The review asks what the setup taught, not whether it paid. That is the part that makes a trader independent.
